Sports & Performance Psychology

Steering athletes and high performers towards success and away from


burning out.

At Aligned Minds Inc, we know that peak performance isn’t just about “mental toughness.”
It’s about understanding how your mind works, honouring your unique strengths, and building strategies that actually fit you, rather than forcing you into someone else’s playbook.

Our Sports & Performance Psychology Services are designed to help support athletes, performers, and high achievers of all ages towards unlocking potential, and finding joy in your craft. Adolescents and young adults often balance school, work, family, friendships, and growing responsibilities, all while building life skills. For young athletes, the added demands of sports performance can bring forth pressure and opportunity. Sport Psychology services can often offer valuable support during this pivotal stage, helping young athletes strengthen their mental game and overall well-being.

We are passionate about supporting competitive and recreational athletes of all ages towards: 

  • Managing performance pressures & anxiety

  • Levelling up your mindset and confidence. 

  • Improving focus and attention regulation strategies

  • Motivation that works for your style

  • Sensory-friendly pre-game/performance routines

  • Deepening team connection, peer relationships, exploration of helpful social & communication skills

  • Recovering from setbacks or injuries with more resiliency 

Why our approach is different:

We don’t just hand you a generic “mental skills checklist.” We work with you (and your support network, if you choose) towards: 

  • Understanding how your brain processes stress, pressure, and competition

  • Build tools you can use in the moment, not just in theory

  • Create routines and coping strategies that are more likely to stick, because they’re better aligned for your areas of strength and processing style. 

For Coaches & Parents

If you support an athlete, you play a significant role in their success by helping them to develop mental skills and coping strategies that can reduce performance pressure, build confidence, and learn how to be aligned to their highest and best selves. We strive to help you to: 

  • Learn communication strategies that could be more aligned to and work better for your athlete’s brain

  • Help your athlete to build confidence, strengthen mindset and deepen connection to both themselves and their sport.

  • Build supportive routines without adding unnecessary pressure

  • Foster resilience, enjoyment, and long-term engagement in sport

  • Develop strategies to help your athlete work through barriers, and consistently perform and compete at their healthy best.

Your Next Step

You don’t have to fit into a “standard athlete mindset” to succeed.

You might just need the right environment, tools, and understanding of how you work best.

Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body.

We look forward to hearing from you!
