WHAT IS COACHING ?
Harnessing your full potential and executing consistently at the top of your sport demands excellent mental performance.
Mental coaching is a process, that allows you to grow into the person and athlete you want to become. Together we develop the mental skills and strength, that enable you to take the next step.
Individual mental coaching is a confidential, personal growth process that enhances performance. Through regular reflection of games, execution, mental state and other life events, we are able to increase self-awareness and the ability to regulate emotional state when you need to be at your best.
It starts with a kick-off meeting, where we assess where you’re at, where you would like to go, and begin building the bridge to close that gap. We decide on a plan on how often we will meet during the season – this is mostly based on your preference, and how frequently you are willing and able to work on your mental game. For everyone the process is different, and over time our coaching relationship will develop into what best serves you.
Our highly educated, experienced, caring and passionate Certified Mental Performance Coach guides and supports you through this growth process. The coach helps you navigate your way through challenges, find the solutions you need, overcome things that have been holding you back, and systematically improve your mental and social skills.
This co-creative partnership designs more opportunities for you to step into your full potential and succeed.
During the coaching sessions, we discuss things that feel important. Events in the game, fluctuations in confidence, challenges within the team or outside the rink that are affecting performance, well-being or creativity.
Often we need to work with emotions – they are the driving force for everything we do and are able to do. When harnessed properly, emotions help us succeed, but when not controlled, we fall short of our capabilities. From both experiences, the coaching process allows you to find the growth you need to reach the next level.
