Technical coaching builds your swing. Mental performance coaching builds the mindset that lets that swing show up when the round matters — with Dr. Kolin Kriitmaa at Langley Golf Academy.

Why the mental game
Your best golf is a head game too
Most golfers invest heavily in lessons, equipment and range time — then watch scores slip when nerves, frustration or overthinking take over. Mental performance coaching gives you tools for the moments between shots: how you talk to yourself, how you reset, and how you stay committed under pressure.
Dr. Kolin Kriitmaa works with golfers and other athletes across British Columbia and virtually across Canada. His approach blends clinical counselling with mental performance consulting so wellbeing and performance move forward together — not as separate tracks.

What we work on
Mental skills that travel from range to course
Focus & concentration
Train attention so one bad hole does not cascade. Stay present shot to shot instead of replaying the last miss.
Resilience & recovery
Respond to setbacks, injury downtime, and tough rounds with practical strategies that protect both performance and wellbeing.
Competition preparation
Prepare mentally for tournaments and big rounds — managing nerves, expectations, and the emotional swings of competitive golf.
