❝The most important thing that Rob has taught me is the mental side of the game. Everybody knows that hockey is a physical game, but Rob has helped me understand it’s more mental than anything. He has helped me respond to adversity, disappointment and frustration and has helped me build my confidence and work ethic. I would not be anywhere close to where I am now without his guidance and support.❞

❝Working with Rob has given me more confidence on and off the ice, and I worry less about the outcomes,❞ said the 2008 birth year forward.

❝Rob allowed me to focus on the experiences I was having at the time, and to make sure I never got too high or too low. Rob definitely had an impact on my game, and allowed me to play more relaxed and enjoy my time on the ice and with my teammates.❞

❝Our son has had the privilege of working with Rob, a dedicated professional specializing in the mental aspects of hockey. As parents, we were seeking to help our son elevate his performance on the ice as well as his mental well being. From the initial consultation, it was evident that Rob possessed a deep understanding of the unique challenges that hockey players face, both mentally and physically. HIs approach with the athlete was not solely focused on performance-related issues but also focused on overall mental resilience and well being. One of the standout qualities of this service was that Rob was diligent in creating a personalized and tailored program. He took the time to understand our son’s specific goals, strengths, and areas of improvement, crafting a plan that directly addressed his needs as a high performance athlete. All the strategies and techniques used were not only effective but resonated with our son on a personal level. Throughout the sessions, Rob was able to demonstrate a remarkable ability to break down complex mental concepts into practical, actionable steps. His communication style is clear, supportive and motivating, creating an environment that fostered trust and openness. Rob encouraged our son to explore and understand his thought patterns, emotions, and reactions in various scenarios on and off the ice. As parents, we appreciated the emphasis that was placed on building mental resilience and coping strategies for high pressure situations. His guidance has not only enhanced our son’s performance during games but has also positively impacted his overall mental well being off the ice. Rob’s expertise, personalized approach, and commitment to athlete’s development makes him an invaluable asset for any player looking to unlock their full potential on and off the ice. We recommend Rob to fellow athletes seeking to gain a competitive edge through mental strength and resiliency. Thank You!❞

❝Working with Rob this season helped me reach a new understanding for the game, learning to chase the experience instead of chasing the dream, helping me enjoy the game a lot  more, ❞ said Montreuil.
Cedar Montreuil is another young athlete who connected with Dr. Graham. Montreuil had a stellar season with the North Bay U16 AAA Trappers and was selected to play for Team NOHA at the OHL Cup starting March 24 in Toronto.

❝Rob Graham is an intelligent, energy filled educator who immediately captivates a room with his presence. He inspires those he works with off the ice in his presentations and on the ice as a goaltender instructor!❞

❝We’ve been very fortunate to have Rob work with our athletes over the years, and have benefitted from watching our kids grow as athletes and people. Rob has a very unique way of pulling out the best in our kids, by supporting them on and off the ice. Working with Ben over the last two years, has proven to be a game changer. Rob focuses on the importance of resilience, which may have been the most important aspect of Ben’s work with him. As parents, we have had the privilege of watching Ben push through the hard stuff and focus on playing the game he loves with a strong and positive mindset. The mental side of the game is often pushed aside by athletes as the hockey season gets into full swing. Once we made the decision to focus on the mental aspect, we noticed that Rob’s ability to keep Ben focused on the present, and to overcome the hard stuff was so beneficial, on and off the ice.❞

❝Logan began working with Rob during his first year of U18 AAA hockey, and the experience over the past 2 seasons has been transformative. The on-ice training has helped refine Logan’s skills, but the largest impact was made off ice during his mental edge sessions with Rob. He’s improved his emotional response & body language, learned strategies for dealing with adversity, and gained confidence. The lessons he’s learned from Rob have impacted Logan’s overall mental health and daily mindset. Just like in hockey, life is filled with setbacks and moments of failure. He now embraces the idea that he isn’t defined by a bad moment, or a goal against, but instead he’ll be recognized for how he responds to challenges. This allows him to focus on whatever comes next.❞
