Austin Glover
Mental Performance Coach
Austin is a mental performance coach and an accomplished professional hockey player. After a five-year career in the Western Hockey League, he went on to play for the University of British Columbia’s varsity team, earning degrees in Psychology and Commerce. He then went on to play 3 years of professional hockey in Europe.
High-level sport had provided Austin with extensive insights and invaluable experiences. Overcoming serious injuries, navigating unfamiliar environments, dealing with performance fluctuations, and managing various personalities and pressures have all shaped Austin’s understanding and perception of both hockey and sport in general – including the essential role of sports psychology in relation to performance. Each challenge Austin has experienced over the past 15 years has contributed to his ever growing repertoire of tools and strategies to help overcome the many adversities faced by athletes.
Academically, Austin further developed his skills and interests, applying various psychological and behavioural theories and linking such concepts to his experiences on the ice. Recognizing the importance of mental toughness in sport, he became passionate about helping other athletes overcome personal obstacles, foster individual growth, and in turn reach levels of performance otherwise unattainable without mental performance coaching.
Austin’s coaching philosophy emphasizes training the brain as one would train the body. Specifically, Austin’s approach focuses on the incorporation of acceptance, self-perception, and cognitive control as key components to effectively support athletes in reaching their full potential.
