@ProfHancockMUN @OpenStarlites We've worked together for 5 years building mental strength through mental skills training. I'm so happy for this team, and loved hearing that the attitude before the final skate was, "We felt calm and ready". #sportpsychology
Last chance to sign up for this session. If you email me tonight and send the EMT, I'll ensure you get the registration and Zoom link sent to you before the session tomorrow morning. Remember, we start at 9am NST. #sportpsychology
Due to popular demand, I'm opening this session up to any parent/coach of a youth sport athlete. Just remember, 9am start time in NL is 7:30am in the Eastern time zone.
Please share widely! @ne_eagles @AvalonCeltics @PmhaWarriors @MtPearlBlades @RenegadeProud @SJMHA @Goulds_Minor @DJHLnews @sportnl @teamnl @hockeynl1935 @SoccerNLSA @SwimmingNL @skatecanada_nl @BaseballNL @SoftballNL @Gymnastics_NL @CurlingNL @nlbasketball @NLGolf
Less than 2 wks until my online sport psyc session for parents/coaches of youth sport athletes. Maybe your athletes are closing in on their playoffs, or maybe the season is just getting started. Either way, this session should help.
Incredibly happy for the @OpenStarlites, who won the gold medal in Ontario today! We’ve been working together for 4 years now and it’s amazing to see their success! #MPPSC #Starlites @SkateCanada_NL
Are you a youth sport parent/coach? Want to learn about some basic sport psychology for youth athletes? Live in Newfoundland and Labrador? If you said "yes" to all 3, please join me for this online session!! See details below.
In the fall, I hosted a very successful sport psychology session for parents/coaches of youth athletes. I will be doing this again February 23, but this time online. I'm hoping that enables folks across this province to join and learn. Stay tuned for more details.
I enjoyed watching the @OpenStarlites yesterday perform a #JBA. A beautiful skate from the team I've been working with the longest since moving to NL. Well done ladies! #MPPSC
I'm often asked to help teams build their mental skills, but too often, requests happen the week of a big competition. Mental skills training should be built into your program at the start of the year. Then during those big competitions, it's about maintenance, not learning.
I also hope to be more active on social media this year. First, in the next week or two I will announce a date for an online sport psychology session geared toward parents/coaches of youth sport athletes in NL. The in-person session in September was a hit--time to build on it.
2024 was a busy year for A Focused Mind Sport Consulting. Had over 100 meetings, all with the goal of helping athletes, coaches, officials, and teams improve their mental performance. #sportpsychology is so important for success. I'm looking forward to keeping this going in 2025!
Absolutely wonderful to host about 30 parents last night and talk about basic #sportpsychology strategies they can use with their kids. Based on the overwhelmingly positive responses, I'll offer others sessions in the future including new/same strategies. #thankyou
@2025canadagames So great to see the progress on these venues! Looking forward to their lasting legacy for sport and physical activity in this province.
Almost time! Less than 48 hours until we meet to talk #sportpsychology for youth athletes. Main focus is on setting goals, managing stress/anxiety, staying focused, and maintaining productive thinking.
The countdown is on! This session is for parents (and coaches) of youth sport athletes who want to learn some basic sport psychology skills. We'll talk about #anxiety #goals #negativethinking. Still plenty of room available, so see the graphic below to join. #sportpsychology
