My journey in sports psychology is deeply rooted in my faith. As a former professional hockey player competing across Europe, I experienced firsthand the mental and spiritual battles athletes face. It was during those years that I learned performance isn’t just about physical training—it’s about aligning your mind, body, and spirit with your purpose.

Guiding Scriptures:

Several passages guide my work with athletes:

Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” reminds athletes that true strength comes from a source beyond themselves
Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans” guides my strategic planning and goal-setting work
Romans 8:28 – Helps athletes reframe setbacks and injuries as opportunities for growth
1 Corinthians 10:31 – “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” shifts focus from performance anxiety to purpose-driven excellence

Biblical Integration in Sessions:

I integrate faith naturally and respectfully, meeting athletes where they are. For Christians, I help them:

Develop a biblically-grounded identity beyond sports performance
Use prayer and scripture as mental performance tools alongside evidence-based techniques
Understand their athletic calling as part of their broader purpose
Navigate the tension between competitive drive and Christ-like character
