Bo Vink
Mental Performance Coach
Bo has developed a deep understanding of the mental and physical demands of elite performance through extensive experience as both a hockey and rugby player. During his time as a varsity rugby player at Trent University, Bo experienced performance anxiety and fear of failure firsthand, leading him to discover the transformative power of Sport Psychology.
While playing rugby, Bo sustained multiple concussions, forcing him to transition from player to coach, where he began integrating mental performance strategies as a foundation for individual and team success. His firsthand experience as both an athlete and coach is what allows Bo to connect deeply with athletes at all levels, and what led him to formally pursue a Master of Science in Sport Psychology.
As a mental performance coach, Bo has worked with amateur and university hockey, rugby, lacrosse, volleyball, and track and field teams – where he partners with players, coaching staff, and management to improve performance and well-being across the entire organization. Bo’s approach is grounded in building resilience while staying present and process-focused. Ultimately, Bo is driven by the simple belief that athletes should strive for excellence while truly enjoying their sport.

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.
