WHAT IS HIGH-PERFORMANCE COACHING?

High-Performance Coaching is about developing and optimizing your mind-body integration for best possible outcomes in your personal and professional endeavours — simply put, this process provides targets and tools for maximizing the functionality of the mind-body-spirit relationship and related physiology. Performance Clinic delivers knowledge and services developed from many years of experience working with elite performers — to anyone interested in applying it.  Our expertise provides a truly holistic approach to helping our clients with healing, well-being, and performance.

The processes provided are neuroscience-informed, and built upon decades of experience working with peak performers. High-performance coaching is differentiated by increased accountability, tools, and advanced skills — with a primary focus on optimizing your mindset to perform your very best. Progression is very individualized, and common areas of exploration include:

  • mindset training

  • optimizing neurophysiology and nervous system

  • finding ‘flow’ under pressure

  • pain management, overcoming trauma, somatic wisdom

  • addressing performance anxiety

  • creating optimal focus & concentration

  • stress and anxiety management

  • developing confidence/self-efficacy

  • performing beyond comfort zones 

The primary aims of this work are to achieve sustainable high-performance, and fulfill your vision for your future!

  • Anyone who is interested and committed! Clients are often peak performers and high-impact professionals (ie. executives, entrepreneurs. surgeons) etc.

    This work is relevant to everyone!

  • The work begins with an assessment of current needs, applied tools and planned progression for the development of performance optimization and maximizing impact!  

    It usually starts with discovery and awareness of some key basic structures :

    • What’s currently hindering your performance and your results? 

    • What challenges may arise as obstacles to progress? 

    • What is your current mindset, attitude and emotional state?

    Common subjects include:

    • mindset training, creating optimal focus & concentration, stress and anxiety management

    • optimize neurophysiology and nervous system

    • pain management, recovery from injury/accident, overcoming trauma, correcting movement patterns

    • tuning pre-competition nerves and performance anxiety

    • developing confidence/self-efficacy and performing beyond comfort zones 

    Learn to develop skills to optimize performance, and ensure your best is delivered consistently!

    1. How much time and financial investment is necessary on my part?
      Generally, 4-6 sessions will provide clients with physical and mental training will be customised according to the needs of the individual. Coaching packages are available!

    2. How often will we meet?
      While this is dependent on each client, generally we will meet every 1-4 weeks.

    3. It sounds like deep work. What if I’m not emotionally ready?
      Depending on the nature of the issue, we have other experts on our team who can also help. The needs of the client are always paramount in our sessions.

    4. How much autonomy do I have in choosing what to work or focus on?
      Performance coaching is a guided process. Often people have issues or concerns they want to address immediately. While we can certainly focus on specific areas, it’s most effective to be open to guidance and committed about ‘doing the work’.

    5. Are there take-home tasks, like homework — or will we simply meet and discuss in person?
      Most sessions will have reflective question(s) or small exercises that are best practised for 5-15 minutes per day.

    6. You mention optimising mindset and body for peak performance — does that mean I receive treatments in the same session as a performance coaching session?
      While both services can be delivered within a session, we try to keep them distinct from each other, depending on priority.

    7. Do you offer group sessions or workshops?
      Yes! Group sessions or workshops are common and can be held as a series of workshops as well, depending on budget or need. For more information please email info@performanceclinic.ca

    8. Do you work with youth?
      Yes, plus we have student rates for many services.  For performance coaching, group sessions also work well (e.g. for youth sport or dance teams preparing for major competitions).
