North Bay U16 AAA Trappers
Working with Larissa Mills and Mental Game Academy has been a game-changer for our North Bay U16 AAA Trappers. As elite young athletes, our players face unique challenges in today's digital world, and Larissa's expertise in addressing cell phone usage and its impact on athletic performance has been invaluable.
North Bay U16 AAA Trappers
What impressed our staff the most was how the Mental Game Academy's approach helped our players understand the direct connection between their phone habits and their confidence on the ice. Rather than simply restricting phone use, the program educated our athletes about how excessive screen time can change brain chemistry and derail their training.
North Bay U16 AAA Trappers
The results have been remarkable. As a coaching staff we notice our players are more focused during practice, demonstrate better decision-making during games, and show calmness and increased resilience when facing adversity during games. The healthy phone habits and emotional intelligence training they learned have translated into stronger leadership qualities and improved team dynamics.
