Best Performances
Best performances start with mental rehersal in which the mind is set to execute what you learned in practise. High repetitions of a skill over and over establishes a motor track that is well-worn. A sports movement is enhanced when the mind is calm.

Hockey Greatness
There is nothing better than a good hockey game in which both teams are battling along the boards, making tape to tape passes and putting all their effort into a great forecheck and backcheck.
Hockey is one of the faster sports out there and you will need to train your mind to make split second descisions.
This is the difference between one player and another.
At higher levels of elite performance, mental training is essential.
Coach Lorie will train goalies to be consistent and to use mental mind maps to play in the 4X6!
Coach Lorie works with athletes ages 12-27 years.

Coach Lorie feels that individual athletes in sports such as tennis, gymnastics, swimming, skiing and golf can benefit greatly from training the mind to give the body capacity.
Coach Lorie has a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education from the University of Calgary, Canada and a Master's degree in Sports Science from the University of Alberta. Her research is in the area of applied neuroscience in sports. Coach Lorie can tell you that the human brain is 100% mapped out-this is why we know more about sports than ever before. We can see what the brain does when it is concentrating, focusing and staying calm. Even though technology has helped us- the MIND-(inner workings of the brain) is still new territory. This is where sports and science come together. Although Coach Lorie will apply some psychological tools- the bases of her work is in brain science, the ability to unlock the mind's capacity. Teams the know her work will tell you she is capable of changing the dynamics of what an athlete is thinking almost over night. When you begin to learn about mind capacity and mental/emotional controls- any athlete with the right physical development- can accomplish anything. Lorie's signature work is in the area of Mind Maps for Sports(TM)

Mental training is 10 times harder than anything you will do with the body physically, and technically--but Coach Lorie makes it easy and fun!
