Testimonials

Real Voices. Real Impact.

"I met Beth when I entered the Advanced Coaching Diploma through the Canadian Sport Institute. When Beth was assigned to me as my mentor little did I know that she would become not just a mentor for the program, but for my athletic endeavours. Beth become my performance psychologist and helped me overcome my fears coming back into athletics. Beth’s ‘guide on the side’ approach allows you to holistically see your performance goals and take ownership of your strengths and ways you can improve. With her I always feel like I am in control no matter what situation; I have Beth in my ear reminding me to be my best."
