A parent of one of our clients recently shared their experience on how their child went from struggling to manage their emotions to being more focused and confident. They explain the process so well, I put the entire review below:
“My 10 year old son who is a goalie started working with Gabe from CEP back in January 2025. He was really struggling with confidence and negative emotions at times that resulted in him having a hard time letting go of what he felt was a bad goal or something he felt he should have done better.
We would notice when he was like this that he would struggle to stay composed and his focus on the things in the game that he could control was getting outweighed by his emotions and his unwillingness to move off of what had happened.
Since working with Gabe once a week, my son has found a new level of confidence and belief in himself and his abilities.
He now has a pregame routine, he visualizes what he wants to achieve and has developed an alter ego when he steps on the ice, resulting in him unlocking his best self. He has learned to reset and refocus when things aren’t going his way.
He has become more focused on the process and less focused on the pressure of results. Having a plan that he has developed together with Gabe has made a big difference in a short time and it’s exciting to think that he is still in the early stages of this process.
My son’s confidence has grown both on and off the ice and we couldn’t thank Gabe enough. Gabe’s support, sincerity and his care for our son has made this one of the best things we could have done for our son on his journey through sports and life.
Thank you Gabe.”

Sean Mahoney is a member of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), and a Master’s candidate in the Sport and Performance Psychology program at the University of Denver. For as long as he can remember, Sean has been fascinated by human performance and how to gain an edge over the competition. For most of his athletic career, he focused on the physical aspect of performance but neglected the mental. Because of this, he struggled with performance anxiety, focus issues, and limiting beliefs pertaining to confidence and self-doubt. His lack of focus on optimizing his mental game prevented him from reaching his full potential.
As a former member of McMaster University’s women’s soccer team, Emilie intimately understands the demands and challenges athletes face on and off the field. Although she encountered many challenges as a high-level athlete, particularly struggling with self-doubt and overthinking, Emilie was able to make a remarkable transformation when she began to embrace the principles of sports psychology.
