The Mental Game Academy Podcast - Travis Sherman
On this episode of The Mental Game Sports Podcast, host Larissa Mills has her first-ever conversation with a skating coach as she sits down with Travis Sherman from Perfect Skating. Travis brings a deep understanding of how skating development connects to confidence, mindset, and overall growth in young athletes.
Together, they explore what truly helps athletes improve, from building proper mechanics to developing behaviours like focus, consistency, resilience, and accountability. Travis explains how effective coaching goes beyond teaching skills and becomes a process of shaping habits that support long-term success. They also discuss what parents can do to better support their children’s development on and off the ice.
