Hi, I’m Sharleen.
COACH. MENTOR. TEACHER.
High performance is a practice—and I live it. I know what it takes to unlock your mindset and achieve the goals and aspirations that matter most to you. With over 25 years of experience, I have supported Canadian Olympic and Paralympic medalists and teams, helping them perform under the highest pressure. As a Master Age-Group endurance athlete, I’ve completed Half Marathons, Olympic Triathlons, and a 70.3 Triathlon—so I understand firsthand the mental demands of pushing limits. I’m passionate about helping performers thrive in high-stakes environments and committed to making your mental skills training practical, personal, and easy to implement.
What I Do
I increase CLARITY in your high performance mindset qualities and skills.
I facilitate GROWTH by co-creating a personal performance plan to enable you to perform your best.
I aid you to PERFORM with mindset that is motivated, resilient under pressure, and inspired to thrive in challenges.

Life Long Learner
I strive for excellence in my life. Excellence is a practice. I fail constantly, learn from it, and be better next time. This has been my process.
Continued athletic excellence — I’m drawn to endurance activities that test my physical and mental abilities. In the past 4 years I’ve cycled the equivalent of Canada 3x on my indoor bike.
Sport parenting — My daughter is a collegiate athlete and I’ve had the pleasure of supporting her excellence for the past 15 years.
Continued professional excellence — I am active in on-going professional development improving my knowledge and skills with certifications.
I live on the traditional territories of the Lkwungen peoples (Victoria, BC) with my partner, daughter, and dog.
