Why Mental Performance Matters

Mental performance work is an important part of athletes’ development as highlighted in Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development. These are skills that will benefit athletes both in sports and in life. Mental performance skills help athletes:

• Compete with confidence

• Manage nerves and pressure

• Be resilient in the face of setbacks

• And find enjoyment in their sport

We are working with Podium Mind because of their unique approach to mental performance:

• Engaging – athletes learn directly from Olympians, Paralympians, and CMPCs through short videos and stories.

• Season-long – the program is spread across the year, supporting steady growth rather than one-time workshops.

• Practical – designed to fit with busy schedules and today’s digital athlete, requiring only about 10–15 minutes per week, virtually on your own schedule.

What This Means for Your Athletes

Each athlete will receive access to the Podium Mind platform. They’ll be invited (with the same email as the one you are receiving this message) to log in and complete short modules and activities over the course of the season. 

As parents, your role is simple: ask your child what they’re learning, and celebrate the skills they’re building.

Our coaches and Podium Mind’s platform will remind athletes of the few lessons we are working on each week throughout the season.
