Riley Cote, former NHL player and leader in mindfulness teachings, is now offering this powerful tool to youth hockey players with his Mind Champ Clinic. Mindfulness is a powerful practice for athletes, enhancing their mental health, concentration, emotional regulation, and overall performance. 

The demands of competition and training can be overwhelming, leading to heightened stress levels, but mindfulness techniques like deep breathing and meditation provide athletes with tools to remain calm under pressure.  By training their minds to stay in the present moment, athletes can block out distractions and make split-second decisions with clarity.

Each Mind Champ Clinic begins with a lesson of pre/post game mindfulness techniques to be used on and off ice. They then hit the ice for a 3v3 Round Robin style tournament. During this time, Riley will show players when these techniques are to be utilized with reminders during the games.  This hands on approach works best with youth and keeps the lesson fun and engaging. 

Clinic Location: ICE LINE @ TPH Academy, 700 Lawrence Drive, West Chester, PA
