I was ready to quit bowling and I was struggling to figure out what to do; but working with a mental performance consultant gave me a new way to look at my sport and deal with the pressure of competition. For a long time, I felt like nobody understood me in my sport. Being able to speak with a professional trained in counselling and who has a sport background made it easier for me to open up and relate to. It was helpful having someone to talk to about my sport and the challenges I faced; I felt like finally someone understood me. I am very thankful for developing tools and strategies to help me reach my competition goals.
