Biography: Danielle’s interest in sport began at an early age with her involvement in figure skating and dance. Since then, she participated in each sport competitively and developed transitional life skills, including time management, dedication, and perseverance, that have been applied to her academic and professional experiences. Her love of figure skating, in particular, led her to become a coach and choreographer in this sport, which further exposed her to working with athletes with disabilities. As a result, she gained an increased interest in the knowledge and behaviours of parasport coaches and what it means to be an effective coach for an athlete with disabilities. In addition, Danielle has a passion for understanding the mental side of sport and how to enhance athlete’s psychological skillset to optimize their performance and satisfaction in sport. Acting as the mental performance consultant for numerous teams at varying competitive levels, Danielle has led interactive group activities (e.g., team building), lecture-style seminars (e.g., building confidence), and individual consultation sessions to provide an in-depth assessment of athlete needs.

Biography: Jamie is a mental performance consultant who takes a holistic approach to reach one’s potential. Having completed his Bachelor’s in Kinesiology, in conjunction with working as a personal trainer, he recognizes the crucial role that physical fitness plays in athletes’ success. However, he has learned, through the completion of his two Master’s degrees in sport and exercise psychology, that the mental side of sport is equally important.

He has experience working with athletes in both team and individual sports, and across a wide range of ages. Specifically, he has worked extensively with combat sport athletes, who face unique mental challenges in training and competition. Another area of focus of his is helping individuals who are dealing with significant injuries, concussions in particular. He offers emotional support and guidance throughout the rehabilitation process and beyond.

His approach involves sitting down with athletes one-on-one and having honest conversations. By engaging his clients in thought-provoking discussion, they can experience positive growth and self-discovery. He firmly believes that you get out of mental training what you put into it; if you are willing to work hard to accomplish your goals, then he will be with you every step of the way.
