SERVICES FOR SKATING CLUBS
I partner with skating clubs all over the world to offer sport-specific mental training at a low cost to their skaters. Sessions are interactive and fun, with powerpoint teaching, group discussion and worksheets. Skaters will learn skills to optimize goal setting, control competition nerves, break bad habits of popping and circling on jumps, and get in the zone while competing and testing.
MIND-BODY PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPS
Workshops are offered to skating clubs, either in person or online. Typically the skaters are grouped by age or level. 2 hours with each group is the suggested amount of time to focus on developing an understanding of how mindset impacts performance.
Sessions are interactive and fun, with powerpoint teaching, group discussion and worksheets. Skaters will learn skills to optimize goal setting, control competition nerves, break bad habits of popping and circling on jumps, and get in the zone while competing and testing. Online involves bringing the skaters together in a room with a good internet connection. You will require a projector and screen as well. We connect online using video conferencing technology and then you project me on the screen. Skaters can see my screen and follow the presentation, as well as interact and ask questions. I provide you with the worksheets you can print for your skaters to use during our session.
In person involves investing in my travel to and from your location (by train or airplane) as I am located in Ottawa, Canada. Lodging for for 1-2 nights, as well as food.
For a special thank you to our Program Assistants the Athens club set up a two hour seminar for them. Rebekah came and gave a pertinent presentation on “Stepping outside your comfort zone” and also “Effective Practicing”. It was very motivating for our senior girls and you could just see the “lightbulbs” going on around the room. They were being inspired. The coaches and the parents were inspired too. Rebekah doesn’t just work with Athletes, though she was a competitive figure skater herself. And I think that’s why I have enjoyed working with her so much. She gets it! I don’t have to spend 15 min explaining our sport and it’s pressures to a random sports psychologist, before we start. She understands it all and I believe that’s why she’s been so effective in my skater’s progress.
GROUP MENTAL TRAINING PROGRAM
This is an online program that consists of 4 – 1 hour weekly group sessions. Investment is based on an hourly rate. This format provides a more consistent training where we build each week on the mindset skills taught. There is an accountability to practice the skills which results in a greater success of mastering them.
With a great internet connection and screen, the 4 week one hour webinar sessions worked well with my college athletes schedules. Rebekah had shared with me in advance what each week would entail. She had handouts that were shared in google docs beforehand so copies could be made. She was patient and encouraging as she waited on them to process thoughts and give responses. It was great hearing personal testimonies from several girls as well as the positive energy inside the locker room. They would take turns holding each other accountability to “reframing their thoughts”. When one person was having a bad day another teammate would provide the verbiage to get them to think and say positive words.
Summer Off-ice Mental Training Program
This online program becomes part of your off-ice for summer school skaters. A weekly day and time is agreed upon and the skaters are grouped as they are in your summer school schedule. Online involves bringing the skaters together in a room with a good internet connection. You will require a projector and screen as well. We connect online using video conferencing technology and then you project me on the screen. Skaters can see my screen and follow the presentation, as well as interact and ask questions. I provide you with the worksheets you can print for your skaters to use during our session.
