WHAT WE DO

We tailor all our services to your specific needs. This could involve learning mental strategies to manage the challenging thoughts, feelings and experiences that come with being an athlete. Or, it could be about embracing the anxiety that comes with making significant changes in your life as a performer.

Our core aim is simply to close the gap between your current self and your true potential.
By equipping you with mental skills and a greater understanding of yourself, we aim to empower you to take more control over your mind, life and performance. With this, you should be able to not only handle pressure but thrive in it.

WHY CHALLENGER MINDSET?

Challengers push the boundaries of their potential with a mindset built on resilience, optimism, and persistence in pursuing their goals. With high ambition and authenticity, they also embrace challenges as chances to learn and grow into better individuals.

Through growing yourself and your mental skillset, we believe this is the type of mindset that any athlete or performer can develop in the pursuit of their potential. Take the first step by working with us.

"From the get go I have liked Ross's way of teaching/helping me as an athlete and a person in general. His listening skills, acknowledgment, and techniques are awesome!  I believe it was three sessions in with Ross after doing some exercises and exploring different mental sides of me being an athlete that really had a great impact on me on and off the field, how I react to coaches whether it being negative or positive, and it made me feel the "pressure" less than I have in a while.
First session in I knew that it was the right decision. I had been looking for a sports psychologist anyway, and after Ross was mentioned I thought let me give it a try and after the first session I realised "this is the one". Simply because of his way of teaching, adapting to what may go on in my week, his great sessions, and me being vulnerable and transparent with him (which isn't easy for me). 6 sessions in and he has definitely helped with my mental performance which is showing during practices and games. If I were to persuade a friend to work with Ross, I think the first thing I would tell them is that he is the legit deal! He knows his stuff and he is also willing to learn. But, most importantly he not only makes you feel safe, but his sessions are fun, knowledgeable and you can truly notice the difference after your first or second session with him!"
