Client Testimonials
Working with Steve has completely changed the way I play hockey. After our first session, I hit the ice with fire and passion and scored my first goal of the season. After the second session, I even moved up in the lines. More than anything, my mind feels clear on the ice, and I feel confident and focused like never before. Steve doesn’t just help you play better—he helps you think better while you play.”
Freestyle mogul skiing is a sport that has inherent risks which can lead to consequential injuries for athletes. These inherent risks create mental barriers for athletes throughout their careers. Steve’s education, background, and professional experience in coaching and sport psychology has proven to be invaluable in assisting our son to overcome his mental barriers and continue to pursue his goals in freestyle mogul skiing.
Steve not only found ways for me to overcome barriers, but he gave me confidence in the process. He has helped me to become a more complete player, helping me reach my dream of becoming a professional hockey player.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Steve on a number of occasions through the COTR wvb varsity team. Our program utilizes his expertise to help guide our athletes through the ups and downs of a post secondary season. Steve has a plethora of tools and resources available to help direct our athlete’s focus on what’s important, and how to manage the uncontrollable circumstances. Steve is fantastic at presenting information based on our team’s current situation, which makes his work very engaging for our athletes. We always come away from Steve’s sessions with a new outlook on our goals, and fresh ideas to work on.
Steve has had a huge impact on my mental ability to perform under pressure. Being my coach and mentor, he has enabled me to unlock the best version of myself. Being in a team sport I have seen the way Steve interacts with different styles to get the most out of each individual.
The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club is proud to call Steve our Team Mental Trainer. Steve has been instrumental in providing our boxers the needed mental preparation for our sport. Having a professional with Steve’s background in our own “backyard” is not only convenient, but it really does give us the edge over our competition.
