Episode 11 of True North Strong: A Sports Performance Podcast. Join me this episode as I catch up with Naomi James who is a Mental Performance Consultant who runs her own Mental Performance Consulting company based in Toronto, Ontario. Her mission is to "help performers overcome the mental barriers that hold them back from achieving their personal level of success."   We dig into what led Naomi into mental performance consulting, her path from varsity basketball player at Bishop's University to her current role helping the clients and teams with the mental side of sport and competition. We chat about how the layoff from competitive sports may be effecting the confidence and nerves of athletes, how to create a pre-performance routine, tips to "unpack" poor performances and what can lead to sport burn out.   You can connect with Naomi via her website www.naomijamesconsulting.com and via Instagram @naomijames_mpc.   Please help grow the show by sharing, rating and subscribing and if there is anyone who you'd like me to have on let me know.
