Friday, September 12, 2025
5:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m.
Google Calendar ICS

https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/89669539440

5-6pm: Session for athlete and coaches

6-7pm: Session for parents

Description:

Join Natalie Doucette, Registered Psychologist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant supporting Team AB for the 2027 Canada Winter Games, for introductory mental performance sessions for parents and athletes. Both sessions will start with an introduction to Natalie, Mental Performance services and topics as well as self-reflection on participants' previous experiences with this type of performance service.

The parent session will encourage participants to engage in self-reflection in their roles as parents/supports for their children and Natalie will share some strategies and tools for applying mental performance tools in the family/home context. This will also be an opportunity for questions about the services available to Team AB athletes and mental performance services as a whole.

Athletes will meet with Natalie and learn about the primary domains that mental training skills and sessions can support and the ways in which they can utilize these services as they prepare for and compete at the Games. They will also learn about mental preparation for competition in addition to the mechanisms underlying performance pressure and choking under pressure, while leaving with some strategies to overcome these challenges.
