A plan for every high, low, and tough moment all season
Less overthinking, more clarity for you and your athletes

From day one until the last whistle- this program has you covered.
“Kristin was a game changer for my daughter. She was a completely different person from a mental perspective after working with her.”
“My son absolutely loves working with Kristin. He doesn’t open up to many people, but he feels completely comfortable with her—and that means everything to me. He comes out of every session energized and engaged, and after his tournament this weekend he told me he used several of the strategies they talked about.”

Meet Kristin Tullo: Certified Mental Performance Coach
I'm a certified mental performance coach with 10+ years of experience helping hockey coaches and players unlock what they're truly capable of on the ice through proven mental skills training.
I specialize in hockey mental performance (and also work with soccer and other sports) with athletes and teams at the all levels.
Here's what I believe:
• Confidence is a trainable skill, not something you're born with
• Mental toughness is built through daily habits, not motivational locker room speeches
• The best hockey players don't avoid pressure-they prepare for it through mental skills training
My mission? Help coaches and players control what they can control on the ice—and let go of everything else.
Because talent without the right mindset is just potential left in the locker room.
