WELCOME TO THE MENTAL GAME ACADEMY

At the Mental Game Academy, we are on a mission to transform athletes into mentally resilient champions-on and off the field. Founded by Cognitive Behavioural Sports Specialist and Mental Performance Consultant and Coach, Larissa Mills, the Mental Game Academy was born. There is a critical mental gap in sports today. With over 25,000 hours spent on phones by the age of 16, young athletes today face unprecedented challenges that impact their focus, communication, emotional resilience, and overall development.
