Meet the Athlete Tutor:
Nigel Hole
Although I graduated university with numerous academic and athletic honors, it wasn't until after I left campus that I began to master the mental skills that enable student-athletes to thrive.
Simultaneously, I began working full-time as an Accountant at a Big 4 firm, studying to become a CPA, and running 160km per week trying to qualify for the Canadian National Track & Field Team. Time was scarce and results mattered – I had to train my brain to learn faster and compete courageously.
I have since become obsessed with studying mental performance and teaching the next generation of student-athletes how to perform to their potential in both school and sports.

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!
