“Working with Gianine has made me a more confident person”
Participating in “The Way of the Champion” class truly changed the way I approach ice skating (my sport), school, and my everyday life. A few months ago, I failed my Moves in the Field test. I was distracted, not focused on myself, and so panicked that I could barely move my legs. I decided to implement the skills I learned from this mental training class: positive self-talk, recovering from distraction, and goal-setting. These skills allowed me to pass my retest and score seven points higher than my first attempt. I strongly believe everything I took away from this class and working with Gianine has made me a more confident person. I would highly recommend working with Gianine to anyone who is interested in strengthening their mental game and reaching their highest potential.

“She helped me through tough spots when I was unsure about getting back”
I was badly injured recently and, during that time, I was working one-on-one with Gianine about what it would be like to get back to my sport once I healed enough. We worked on mental toughness, visualization, and so much more, and it really helped me prepare myself for when I was ready to go back. She helped me through tough spots when I was unsure about getting back. Time and time again Gianine was always there to help pick me up and work through whatever was plaguing my thoughts.

“I’ve seen a lot of self-improvement in my confidence”
Gianine’s classes were incredibly fun and informative! Even though I don’t play a sport anymore, I use what I learned in her class every day! I’ve seen a lot of self-improvement in my confidence and visualization skills so I’m grateful to have learned from her!

“The most valuable part of training was learning how to implement skills not just in sport, but in everyday life”
In October 2019 I severely injured my ankle, was off the ice for 5 months and fearful I wouldn’t be able to skate again. I started working with Gianine during this period. I learned how using positive statements can improve your confidence and help put your mind at ease during stressful times. Learning visualization skills helped me to see myself in various settings and remaining focused on the task at hand. I have definitely improved my mental game working with Gianine. She is fun and easy to work with and I am back on the ice feeling stronger than ever both physically and mentally. The most valuable part of the training was learning how to implement skills not just in sport but in everyday life. I would absolutely recommend Gianine, she is patient, understanding and has your best interests at heart.

“I would highly recommend this program to anyone”
During my experience working on my mental game both in “The Way of the Champion” class and in individual sessions, I was able to learn the skills I needed to make my mindset more positive and secure. The most important aspect of the program for me was first identifying the specific struggles in my mind that I was facing and then learning the exact strategies I needed to replace the thinking that was affecting my mental performance, such as discussing perfectionism and the ways to reverse that thinking. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to strengthen their mindset surrounding the passions in their life.”

“I’ve seen a lot of change and growth in my daughter”
“Gianine completed a full assessment with my skater to determine her areas of focus. She provided my daughter with an individualized game plan that they implemented together with strategies and plans of action to overcome her mental obstacles. Not only did this help with her skating but it carried over and helped with issues beyond skating. I’ve seen a lot of change and growth in my daughter that I definitely attribute to her working with Gianine. I’ve always been impressed with Gianine’s kind and patient demeanor with her skaters. I wholeheartedly recommend Gianine Craw.”
