I have spent my entire career learning about the need for athletes to train their mental skills as much as their physical skills. I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology and certification as a Mental Performance Coach (expected completion 2025), and have the honor of already working with a few amazing athletes.


In my mental performance coaching with elite ski racers, the core of our work together is the continuous quest to discover and refine the best version of yourself—on and off the slopes. My tailored approach is centered on the principle of mindfulness, fostering an unwavering commitment to the present moment which heightens clarity, composure, and enjoyment in your sport.


Our sessions aim to deepen self-awareness, enabling you to navigate the mental intricacies of elite competition. We focus on strategies that enhance emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility, pivotal for facing the sport’s high-pressure demands with resilience. This process is about cultivating a mindset where each challenge is met with a balance of sharp focus and serene presence.


My philosophy underscores the journey as much as the destination, advocating for a balanced experience where the thrill of the race is matched by a sense of fulfillment in every turn. Working with me, you will explore and evolve your mental capabilities, ensuring they are as finely tuned as your physical skills.


Joining forces with me in this endeavor is more than a commitment to excellence; it's an investment in a philosophy that values the journey, nurtures growth, and celebrates each moment of your athletic pursuit. It's about harnessing the power within to not only chase success but to live it to the fullest.


I am available for one-on-one work with ski racers competing at the Nor-Am level and above. I am also available to work with coaches (coaches need mental coaches, too!), business executives, and any other high achievers looking to improve their performance.  Contact for more details: 1-603-387-5170 or carolyn@winterfellvt.com
