When I was chosen to present on ice for The Coaches Site, I found myself grappling with self-doubt. Taylor not only equipped me with the tools, direction, and confidence-building blocks I needed, but also empowered me to tackle any potential obstacles that could hinder my progress. As a result, I stood prepared, delivered the presentation, and experienced no post-presentation second-guessing. The pride and fulfillment I felt were a testament to the profound growth I achieved in those 12 weeks. Taylor's guidance was spot-on, and her words consistently painted a vivid picture of the actionable steps required to drive impactful change. I am deeply thankful for the time I spent with Taylor and wholeheartedly endorse her as a performance coach.

Taylor Cook served as Goalie Coach and Mental Performance Consultant with GCK Lions Frauen over two seasons in the SWHL B. Her technical expertise and individualized approach to goalie development made an immediate impact — during her first season, one of our goalies had a standout year that earned her a contract with a prep school program in the United States. As a staff member, Taylor brought professionalism, consistency, and a genuine investment in each athlete's growth. I would recommend her without hesitation to any club or organization looking to develop their goalies at both a technical and mental performance level.

Before we started working together, I was struggling with confidence, setting achievable goals, and finding my role in the team. The presentations on confidence, getting the reasoning behind why something happens and how to work on it, were the most valuable part of our time together. It's helped me motivate and push my team during games.

It was my privilege to have Taylor as my mental coach. With an injury that had impaired my athletic performance, I was initially grappling with a mental blockage, which Taylor adeptly helped me overcome with their expertise in mental training. Taylor's approach was highly personalised, bespoke to my specific needs, and they remained highly attuned to my progress, providing consistent feedback that proved instrumental in my success. Their unwavering support and guidance bolstered my confidence, helping me to achieve a state of heightened focus and performance. I wholeheartedly recommend Taylor to those seeking a sophisticated and results-oriented mental coach.

Working with you on the ice was fantastic, and the individual talks really helped me strengthen my mindset. The skating drills we started with were so effective that I still use them at the beginning of my own practices today.

Taylored Minds Coaching helped me look at things a different way, a better way than I used to look at things. As a person I am not really positive, always thinking bad about myself and everything around it. With Taylored Minds Coaching I am starting to perform and feel better on and off the ice, because Taylor changed my mindset to a brand new me, a better me. There is still a lot of work to be done, but I am already seeing progress in my game. With Taylored Minds you will start to look at everything with a different look — you will start to concentrate on the things you could do better and on the things you are already doing good. Take a chance and be the best you can be.

Being at camp for a week with these two goalie coaches and mental trainers was very good and helpful to get your mind emotionally and mentally focused on ice. Taylor's approach was highly personalised, bespoke to my specific needs, and they remained highly attuned to my progress. Both coaches are very nice, and will try to help you and try their best for you and your future in hockey. "Ninety percent of this game is half mental.

"

The mental performance coaching did help me quite a bit. For example, when I let in a goal I used to get a little bit angry at myself. I started to lean focus by overthinking what I did on the ice. When that happens in practice, Taylor and Massop trained me to go out of the net, try to focus on my breathing and clear my mind, so I could go into the net with a clear head and new motivation to save the next puck.

Working with Taylor's mindset training has really benefitted me by helping me with goal setting and goal getting, as well as how to get into all sorts of different states like the confident state, peak performance state, motivated state, focused state and so many more. This can help us with school, ice hockey, other sports, and things in your daily lives as well. You can also learn a lot about the physiology of the brain and how it works. The way Taylor has taught me goal setting, I now view my success in games and practices in new and better ways.
