I specialize in

Performance Enhancement - Teaching athletes at any level of ability, mental strategies that can help refine their mental skills and help ineffective performers move beyond their mental/emotional roadblocks.

Developing strategies to reduce the pressures and challenges of competition - Pressures and competitive challenges develop from an athlete’s own expectations of performance as well as parental and/or coach expectations. The aim is to teaching athletes to deal with these pressures by managing them positively.

Working with parents to help their child develop confidence and have a satisfying sport experience - Topics I address with parents include understanding their influential role in their child’s sporting experience, defining success in their child’s sport skills, do’s and don’ts for parents of young athletes, relaxation skills for parents during their child’s competition, identifying parents athletic dreams vs. the child’s vision of sport involvement.

Providing psychological assistance with injury rehabilitation – Injuries are never an expected occurrence. The initial shock and impending frustration for an athlete that finds themselves on the side-lines can result in strong emotional reactions. Developing skills such as goal setting, imagery, and communication with coaches provides a healthy solution for athletes to develop positive coping skills and self-management techniques during recovery from injury.

“ I can truly say this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life and I base that upon my trainer, Tory Robinson. He has been amazing. From our first session through today, he has been an instructor, coach, counselor and friend. He has never let me believe that I can’t attain a goal and has led me down an amazing path of becoming healthy and fit, and yes, falling off the wagon a few times. There were many times I doubted my capabilities and told him I couldn’t do it and he never accepted that answer and above all, never let me. Because of his perseverance and encouragement, I have lost weight, and toned up parts of my body that I didn’t even know had muscle mass. “ - Jocelyn

“Great personal trainer! I have been working with Tory for a year and a half now, and my results are outstanding. Not only has he helped me reach my fitness goals physically, but he has helped me as a mental coach. He keeps me focused and dedicated. If you're looking for someone to help you take your fitness and health to the next level I recommend Tory 100%! “ - Rachel
