I became interested in the field of mental performance starting at a young age, introduced to the concept while playing competitive hockey. As an athlete myself, mental performance has allowed me to become my best performer and has provided me with unique tools to excel and push through barriers beyond my physical performance. Through my university education my interest in mental performance has blossomed to a passion that I want to share with every athlete I can.
My goal in mental performance consulting is to tie my formal academic knowledge with my applied work, merging the two to find a balance between research-informed practice and practice-informed research. I graduated with Honors from the Bachelor of Sport Psychology program at Laurentian University, received my Master’s of Kinesiology degree from Wilfrid Laurier with a research focus on resilience and growth in a Canadian Armed Forces context, and am currently pursuing my PhD focusing on the design and application of a mental skills program for soldiers, veterans, and family members in the Canadian Armed Forces.
I have worked with Varsity level athletes for 5+ years now, with occasional consults with teams and organizations outside of the university setting. In my mental performance coaching experiences, I have worked with various sports including hockey (M/W), lacrosse (W), basketball (M), football (M), curling (M/W), as well as with high performers through Limitless Performance striving for pursuits such as CrossFit competitions, Triathlons, Marathons, and overall life improvement.
As a mental performance consultant, I am committed to staying up to date on current research in the field, exploring new and creative methods for coaching, and developing myself as well as those I work with. I am passionate about the field of mental performance and believe in the benefits of this coaching, not only in athletics, but through applications in real-world experiences. I credit many of my successes to hard work and a strong mental attitude that has allowed me to push past the various obstacles and challenges we all inevitably face.
