The School of Performance

Roger has been working as a mental training consultant for the past 20 years with many National level and Olympic teams and athletes. This has involved working with athletes in preparation for Olympic, Commonwealth and Pan Am Games as well as many world championships.

He is also a faculty member of the Department of Kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). Roger began his teaching career at the University of Manitoba in 1992, and moved to the University of the Fraser Valley in 1995. Since moving to the UFV, Roger has been responsible for developing and teaching the sport psychology stream of courses, which is where him and I met.

Over the years, Roger’s work as a sport psychology consultant has also included work with those in the performing arts – musicians, actors and ballet.

I've personally known Roger from my years studying at UFV and he's a truly inspiring individual. I've learnt so much from our time at UFV together and he's been one of the most influential people throughout my academic career. I got to see first hand the amazing effect he's had on the teams and athletes he has worked with on and off the court.

In our conversation we talked about:

- How do we discover our greatest strengths and the power of saying YES throughout our lives

- How can we build up our mental toughness on and off the court

- How do we define excellence and how can we work towards being the best version of ourselves

- How do we avoid being mundane in our excellence, but instead work to maintain a level of excitement throughout

Connor is currently a Master Trainer at Rumble Boxing in Vancouver Canada. Born and raised in Vancouver he’s been an athlete all his life, and now strives to lead others to reach their peak potential as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach.

Connor played his high school ball at Argyle Secondary School and his college ball at Capilano University. Where we went from rivals in high school to teammates in college.

I'm personally super excited for this one I know Connor on and off the court for many years as well as his amazing family. He's a truly unique individual, a leader on and off the court, a person I was proud to call my captain during our playing days together and one who has had a tremendous impact on every person who he's had the chance to work with whether it be through his personal training or through the many other endeavors he's taken on over the years
