WHERE MINDSET MEETS PERFORMANCE
OUR STORY
Northland Mental Performance Coaching is a service line of Northland Counseling Center, Inc., a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic that provides a wide range of mental health services. Born out of the growing recognition of how closely mindset impacts performance, our program formally launched after the successful integration of mental skills training into the experiences of athletes in our community.
WHAT WE DO
We provide both individual one-on-one coaching and group skills coaching and education, giving athletes practical tools to strengthen focus, build confidence, improve composure, and recover quickly from setbacks. Our goal is to help athletes perform consistently under pressure while also developing mental skills that benefit them beyond the rink, field, or court, skills that support success in school, relationships, and life.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our services are available in person and virtually, making support accessible to athletes and families wherever they are. We work not only with athletes from a variety of sports who want to sharpen their mindset, but also with parents, coaches, and athletic organizations who want to create a culture that supports mental performance. To learn more and explore practical strategies, check out our blog, The Mindset Huddle.
