“I’m glad I picked up the phone and booked the first session. I’ve been very satisfied with the coaching process and have not regretted it for a moment.

With each video call coaching session, I have gained new tools and many benefits for other important aspects of life outside the rink too. I have grown as a person and made significant progress.

I am now more aware of what creates pressure and that sense of ‘have to’ in hockey, and I can now better regulate my mind. I recognize my inner states and have tools in place to prevent challenges.

Working with Mirjam requires seriously confronting yourself and the issues. I’ve appreciated Mirjam’s questions that challenge my thinking, create new insights, and push me to go deeper to the next level. After the initial nervousness, talking has felt easier and less pressured.

Growth takes place in difficult situations, and exploring my mindset is fascinating stuff – I want to continue working on it in the upcoming season as well.

Coaching has been very helpful and I encourage others to reach out to Mirjam without hesitation. You don't need to have any major problems - even when things are going well, there’s always room for developing yourself.

Book a session and give yourself the opportunity to grow!"
