- Cristiano Ronaldo, soccer player
Being in any type of sport including high-performance sport (as an athlete, coach, or support staff) can be incredibly rewarding. However, playing a sport, managing one’s personal life, and can also be challenging.
At MindFit, our skill-building programs are focussed on:
• Enhancing performance in and outside of sport, building mental toughness, coping with pressures of competitions/sport, staying in the zone/being in the flow, recovering from injuries, keeping up with the demands of sport, and enjoying sport/promoting healthy self-esteem
• Techniques include: relaxation, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, goal-setting, self-compassion exercises, distress tolerance strategies, etc.
MindFit has experience working with Game Plan and MindFit’s team have supported athletes (and support staff) participating in sport from recreational to Olympic levels.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer tailored support for athletes at different stages of their careers—those striving for peak performance and those transitioning into retirement.
For competitive athletes, my approach integrates Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Role-Playing, Imagery and Visualization, Goal Setting, and Resilience Training. This multifaceted strategy is designed to enhance focus, manage stress, refine mental rehearsal techniques, establish clear objectives, and build mental toughness. By employing these tools, I aim to assist athletes in reaching their highest potential, overcoming performance anxiety, and achieving both their short-term and long-term sporting goals.
On the other hand, for athletes facing the end of their competitive careers, I provide support through Transition Coaching, alongside the continued use of Mindfulness, EFT, IFS, and CBT. This phase focuses on navigating the emotional and identity challenges that come with retirement from sports. We work on finding new purpose, adjusting to life beyond competition, and maintaining an active and fulfilling lifestyle. The goal is to ensure a smooth transition, helping retired athletes to redefine their sense of self and discover new passions and interests outside of their athletic identities.
In both cases, my role is to guide and support athletes through these critical phases, offering the insights and strategies necessary for mental and emotional well-being. Whether aiming for the pinnacle of athletic achievement or embracing the next chapter after sports, I am here to facilitate a journey of growth, resilience, and fulfillment.

Junie Baek
Registered Psychotherapist, MTA, RP (Qualifying)
Performance anxiety results from many reasons but sometimes from a fear of judgment or failure, leading to heightened stress in situations where one is evaluated or expected to perform. Performance anxiety can be a heavy burden for musicians, students, athletes, or anyone, holding them back from reaching their full potential. As a long-time musician who performed since a young age, I deeply understand what it is like to be a musician and to be under constant pressure. I provide a compassionate space to explore these fears, helping you understand and manage the pressure. Together, we'll build strategies to regain confidence and channel your energy positively, so you can perform with clarity and thrive in your passion. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.
