An ‘Improv With Strangers’ class. An immersive 4D gaming experience, complete with a headset and full body armour. A slime tutorial. A trip to Northern Ireland. A walk through an unfamiliar part of the neighbourhood. A new workout program. What do all of these things have in common? They are new experiences that I have […]
Whether it’s a promotion, losing weight, getting a new car, buying a home or finally finding the right partner—high achievers quickly move onto the next big thing. Have you experienced hitting those milestones and noticing that the glow quickly fades and you’re back to square one? Why is it that we’re never satisfied with our […]
I want to delve into a topic that resonates with many of us: handling frustration when things in sport aren’t going your way. Frustration can be a formidable opponent, capable of undermining our confidence and progress. However, it’s important to remember that even the most accomplished athletes face moments of adversity. So, I’m going […]
Athletes are at a higher risk of being impacted by poor mental health. This is not news and should come as no surprise when you factor in the pressure that athletes face at all levels of the game, from youth to professional. To top it off, athletes are also less likely to seek help […]

I’m sure that a lot of you have heard the saying, “pressure is a privilege” I know I have…many times. I remember talking to my parents about being really nervous before games because I felt all this pressure to do well.

Goals are important to have. They create purpose, provide a destination, and inspire us to achieve. But the end game isn’t everything.

Small wins are one element of the journey that, when sufficiently nurtured, can fuel an individual or team toward the […]
May is Mental Health Awareness month and while it is important to shed light on the impact of mental health for all people, I want to specifically draw attention to the staggering number of athletes that are impacted as well.
