Nicole has agreed to partner with Grit Athletics to ensure we can help prepare our young athletes to thoroughly enjoying their sports endeavours.

 Common Concerns: Mental Performance, underperforming,
maintenance of performance, stress management, confidence, focus, self-talk,
negative perspectives, motivation, self-awareness, coping with setbacks,
resilience, emotional regulation, and optimal zones of functioning.

 About: The limits the human mind and body transcend
in the pursuit of sporting excellence inspire me. The dedication, persistence,
and passion that top performers embody is why I started working in mental
performance. I find meaning in helping athletes build their mental game to
allow their goals and aspirations to become reality.

 Athletes might suffer from underwhelming performance for
several reasons including, but not limited to, lack of confidence, decreasing
motivation, inability to focus, negative self-talk, self-doubt, inability to
control stress or performance anxiety, or conflicting expectations. My goal as
a consultant is to help athletes identify their mental performance challenges
and defeat those challenges with the use of mental skills. If you are not sure
why you are stuck or why you cannot take your performance to the next level, I
can help you unravel the confusion and build towards consistent peak
performances.

 I have prepared myself for this role with education,
experience in the field of mental performance consulting, and personal lived
experience as an international high-performance athlete. From first-hand
experience, I know what it feels like to be a top performer and I know the
sacrifices that come along with it. I completed my Master’s at the University
of Ottawa where I studied and trained to be a Mental Performance Consultant. I
have been successful in helping provincial, national, and international athletes
reach sporting excellence and I would like to help you too.
