"Chris Palmer and I talked through his concept of Piranha Training as a way to max out the mental game. He knows how to get someone to achieve greater and better, with the right methods. I believe in every single thing he teaches. I wish I knew him when I was growing up and while I was still playing; I would’ve made it even further and achieved more. Hockey is so much more mental than physical as you move up the ladder; you can’t rely solely on developing your body or talent. It won’t be enough. Improve your mind, it will take you to places you actually dream of. "

THE VISION
Sports Psych research ties mindset--what we think and believe in each moment--to exceptional success or disappointing failure. That's the range. Piranha Training was created to transcend traditional sport by coaching, teaching, and training the development of a growth and positivity mindset. When things fall apart, we are always what we train every day. That's our vision--creating tough-as-nails hockey players with courage, belief, confidence, a commitment to team, and the ability to get back up and do their job regardless of how tough things get.
