“Athletes today spend countless hours training their bodies and honing their skills to compete. Consequently the physical margin between athletes has reduced. In a constant search for a competitive edge, many have now turned to mental training. My own search for that edge led me to Dr. Elizabeth Ward’s peak performance training. Through my training with Dr. Ward I am able to focus and visualize my goals in turn realizing those on the ice. The mental training I have received is invaluable on and off the ice!”
