Courageous Competitor course
Learn how to prevent & manage performance anxiety
so that you can perform to your potential
WHY did I create this course?
I spent most of my 17 year track & field career dreading competitions.
Looking back, I realized that this was largely due to the expectations I placed on myself. I went into most races feeling like I had little to gain, but lots to lose.
In my first year of university, this led me to overtraining, underachieving, injury, and the brink of burnout. I believed that there had to be a better way, so I turned to sports psychology and learned some mental skills that helped me to better manage my emotions.
I became pretty good at fighting the symptoms of performance anxiety, but unfortunately, it wasn't until after I retired from competitive running that I really began to understand how the brain works and realized how I could have prevented most of my performance anxiety in the first place.
WHO is this course for?
High school student-athletes that get overly anxious before competitions and are losing the enjoyment that attracted them to their sport in the first place.
WHAT is this course about?
Courage is defined as the ability to do something that frightens you.
The Courageous Competitor course teaches student-athletes the mindsets and mental skills they need to compete confidently, even in the face of fear.

Just what our club needed
Kevin Harrison
Coach & President at Langley Mustangs T&F Club
The online lessons and worksheets encourage athletes to self-direct their learning and be accountable for their progress, both powerful tools for future athletes and students.
Super impressed by the content and layout
Nicole
Parent & School Teacher
Athlete Tutor helped my daughter appreciate the value of personal goal-setting both at school and on the track. Engaging videos and targeted discussion topics helped her realize the influence mind-set has in her success. She also learned to use the lessons failure offers to sharpen her focus in personal improvement.
Athlete Tutor encourages the student-athlete to be adaptable and resilient both on the field and at school while developing self-knowledge and awareness.
I could have burst into tears right there
Jess Tang
Coach at Matmen Wrestling Club
We were in the warm up area about to step onto the mats and one of my wrestlers takes his headphones off turns to me and simply says "process over outcome." I could've burst into tears right there. I was so so so happy and proud to see it sink in. I've never seen him wrestle better. After he lost a match, instead of launching into an emotional outburst for the rest of the day like he usually does, I found him five minutes later in the stands methodically writing in his journal. His nerves before each match were way better than anytime before.
Not only did it make a big difference for my wrestlers, it gave me a lot of confidence as a coach to be able to fall back on these frameworks and use that language with them.
Tools broken down into workable steps
Cindy Crowther
Coach at Vancouver Thunderbirds T&F Club
Former Canadian National Team Athlete
I can use the language to more effectively help our athletes restructure their thinking. I'm a huge believer in process over outcome, so it was great to have the tools broken down into workable steps.
I’m a fan of this entire program as it works, and it’s essential to being your best you - be it an athlete, coach, co-worker, boss or parent....etc. I love this!
My 110% Guarantee
Not TOTALLY satisfied - I'll give you 110% of your money back!
If you're struggling with performance anxiety, the last thing you need is to waste time on something that doesn't work. Exhausting one of the few options you had left, would just leave you with less money and even more anxiety...
You can't afford to take that risk, so I'll take it for you. No one can guarantee outcomes but, as an accountant, I can guarantee a return on your investment ;)
I am confident that your return will come in the form of increased enjoyment, confidence, results and transferrable mental skills.
In the super unlikely event that you invest the time and energy required to go through the course, remain coachable, put the lessons into practice, and you're not 100% satisfied, then I should be paying you! I'll refund your 100% of tuition plus an additional 10%. That's my 110% guarantee.
