The pressure on elite athletes has never been greater. Today, athletes must not only demonstrate excellent physical and technical skills, but also a tough mental game. The ability to be calm and focused on demand gives them a powerful competitive edge.
Dr. Alan Edmunds, a sports psychologist with extensive experience, teaches athletes and other high performers to become mentally tough. He uses proven tools and strategies to foster the attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and preparations that allow youth and adults to execute high-level technical and tactical skills under pressure.
As a former competitive athlete, lifelong sports enthusiast, and parent of an elite athlete, Alan can relate to the challenges facing any client in any sport. As an educator and coach, he has developed a special rapport with young people. His clients range from top end juniors and university athletes to professionals and amateurs, all of whom compete at various levels local - provincial, national, international and/or the Olympics. His deep understanding of the family’s key role in supporting youth athletes led to his creation of parent seminars to be launched in early 2016.
With Alan's help, we were reassured that our children felt prepared psychologically before, during and after an event . . . What they have learned about themselves and strategies around mental toughness, focus and confidence can be carried over into non-athletic aspects of life as well.
