  • How can I help my athletes stay positive and develop the mental toughness required to bounce back from mistakes and/or not playing up to their potential?
  • How can I help my athletes consistently perform at the level I know they are capable of?
  • How can I gain credibility, adopt a science-based approach and build a successful coaching career helping athletes reach their potential without going back to school to obtain a sport psychology degree?

Working with Lauren towards my Brain Training for Athletes coaching certification has been an incredible experience. The program itself is super comprehensive and the tools it provides for athletes are game-changing both inside and outside of sport. Lauren’s also done an amazing job at breaking down the theory and practical application behind each lesson and exercise. I’ve learned so much during our time together and couldn’t recommend this certification enough.

Cody Oehm, Founder, Head1st
The Coaching Certification program has very precious techniques on how to coach effectively and deeply. I valued the personal learning from practicing these with my awesome Coach, Lauren. The approach is very inspiring and a world of opportunities, as well as measurable outcomes, unfolded for me.
Sara Martinez, Corporate HR Director, Win Systems
While everyone possesses their own unique skill set, you will likely only meet a handful of people that possess this radiating energy that draws everyone in, brings them closer together, and makes them feel like a great version of themselves. Margaret is one of those people. That paired with her irrefutable expertise and unwavering willingness to go well beyond what is asked of her, makes Margaret the type of leader that organically earns the respect of all those around her effortlessly. She is able to cultivate an environment that promotes growth and drive, backed by a foundation of specialized knowledge and years of experience that are undeniable in practice. To have a leader that inspires and empowers not only on a holistic level, but also on a 1:1 basis is both remarkable and uncommon. The impact Margaret made not only on my hockey career at the time, but also in my life seems near impossible to succinctly articulate.
Alex R., UofT Women’s Hockey
I have been in and around the hockey world for over 30 years and Margaret Jennings is one of the best young hockey minds I have ever had the pleasure of being around. She is extremely organized and has an amazing attention to the smallest details. She is driven and passionate about her craft. Margaret is a motivator and a positive force. I would highly recommend Margaret as a coach, mentor and role model for any parent or coach who has a player at any level of any sport.
