When the joy fades and the pressure takes over...

You feel it — something’s off. You used to hit the ice with fire, hunger, and that spark you loved… but now you leave the rink quiet, frustrated, or empty. You’re not playing at the level you know you can reach. Not because the skill isn’t there — but because something inside you is blocked.

You’re carrying the pressure alone. Taking every mistake personally. Believing you have to shoulder the whole team: “It’s on me. I should’ve done more.” Less joy. Less confidence. More overthinking, more fear of making the next mistake.

This isn’t a skill problem. It’s a mind problem — emotions, stress, pressure & low confidence. That’s where my work begins. Helping young athletes reconnect to themselves and activate the part of their mind that actually unlocks performance.

Hi, I’m Thomas Gobeil.

Former Canadian pro hockey player, I’m now a Mindfulness Coach for athletes and their family. I was that kid who always had a stick in his hands. Maybe that’s you, too?

From a young age, it was clear to me: I wanted to become a pro hockey player. That was the dream. That was the only goal. But I was also a deeply sensitive person — and as you probably know, sensitivity doesn’t always mix well with the world of competitive hockey.

Even though I trained with a personal coach several days a week, I couldn’t perform on the ice the way I knew I could. I felt like something was stuck or holding me back. I was constantly disappointed in myself. I was a young guy under a lot of pressure, carrying big expectations, and I didn’t know how to navigate it.

My self-esteem started to crumble. I pushed harder and harder… but saw fewer and fewer results.

I went through the struggles...

So you don’t have to go through them the same way. No one had prepared me for what I was going to face as a young athlete. Not the pressure. Not the doubts. Not the battles happening inside my own head. I had the talent. The work ethic. The dream. But I didn’t have the tools.

And no one had shown my parents how to support me through it all — how to talk to me before and after games, how to help me separate who I was from how I performed, how to guide me without adding more pressure.

By the time I figured it out, it felt too late. I had already lost confidence, joy, and connection with the game… and with myself. That’s why I created this session for athletes and their families — so you don’t have to navigate that alone.

At 18, I was ranked 107th among North American players for the NHL draft

But I still didn’t get picked… I was someone who spoke his mind — and that didn’t go over well. I got labelled as “difficult”. I often clashed with coaches, and my relationships suffered because I hadn’t yet figured out how to stay true to myself in that environment.

I didn’t understand the business side of hockey — that a coach’s job depends on your performance, and your future is in their hands. Then one day, during practice, I took a puck to the face. I couldn’t speak for four weeks — a kind of forced silent retreat. And during that silence, my whole perspective started to shift. I realized there was more to life than hockey. Until then, I’d honestly believed the world existed just so I could play hockey — full-on God complex.

At 20, I went to play in the BCHL to reconnect with the joy of the game. Then I signed with a pro team in the East Coast Hockey League, played four games… and walked away. It just didn’t feel right anymore. That’s when the real journey began — the one within. I had to figure out who I was without hockey. And once I did, I knew I wanted to help others do the same.

“Today, I work with athlete to help them play at their best EVERY GAME by connecting to their confidence”

A 60-minute masterclass built from these lessons

A 60-Minute masterclass — a live session on Thursday, March 19 @ 7:30 p.m. (ET) — distilling what I wish I had known as a young athlete under pressure, and what I wish my parents had been guided to share with me.

full Confidence, every game.

After this session, you won’t see the game the same way.

For your game

Confidence before and after games because you’ll know exactly what to say to yourself.
Capacity to handle pressure better, instead of being stressed or shutting down.
More joy and freedom in the game — not tied to wins, stats, or the coach’s opinion.

For your parents

Clear tools to support your confidence and focus, without adding pressure.
Confidence in their role — they'll know when to step in and when to step back.
A calmer, stronger bond with you, even in tough moments.

This 60-minute masterclass is more than just hockey tips — it’s about giving you the foundation you need to thrive on the ice, at school, and in life. Because when parents know how to support the inner game, a player's confidence, performance, and joy naturally grow. Parents are encouraged to attend.

In 60 minutes, you and your parents will learn:

Practical ways to boost your on-ice confidence before and after games.
The right (and wrong) things to say so you feel backed, not pressured.
Quick, no-nonsense drills to help you manage nerves and still enjoy the game.
What to watch from the stands — support you without tying your worth to wins.

Why this matters? I’ve tailored this to help your parents step up as the parents you need — your biggest fan and steady voice so you skate in confident, focused, and happy.

For you, the athlete, this masterclass covers:

How to charge your confidence before and after games.
How to create a lifestyle that supports confidence.
How to handle stress & pressure.
How to play absolutely carefree.

Together, you’re not just learning concepts — you’re building a shared language for confidence, focus, and resilience around the game you both care about. Families are welcome.

Don’t take it only from me — here’s what other parents experienced

Real stories from families who’ve done this inner game work — on and off the ice.

“Having Thomas work with my son has been incredible. Because he’s a former pro, he truly understands the pressures of the game and knows how to guide young players. Since starting, we’ve seen our son gain confidence and enjoy hockey again, both on and off the ice." - Pierre

“Before working with Thomas, our son was stressed and lacked confidence in his hockey games, which affected his motivation and even school. Through Thomas’s guidance, he learned practical tools for meditation, breathing, and self-control, and began taking his training and nutrition seriously. We see this as a lifelong investment. Our son gained confidence, focus, and a sense of well-being that will benefit him far beyond the rink." - Julie

“Watching your kid struggle on the ice is tough, and we wanted him to enjoy the game again. Working with Tom, who’s been a pro himself, made all the difference. Our son actually listens and takes his advice seriously. It’s been amazing to see him grow, both in hockey and as a person." - Sylvain

It works — in SPORTS & in LIFE.

These are the kinds of shifts this inner game work can support in your child.

"It helped me refocus during games and concentrate on what I need to do." - Felix

"On and off the ice, l've become a more confident person." - Vlad

"There's nothing more powerful than having someone who can help you that's been through it themselves." - Francis

Real players. Real shifts. Real results.

The inner game tools you’ll learn in this masterclass are the same ones I use with players like these.

"I was stressed, frustrated, and couldn’t play at my full potential. The sessions taught me how to stay calm, manage my emotions, and approach hockey with less pressure and more fun. I also picked up habits like better nutrition and consistent routines that made a real difference on and off the ice. I immediately saw improvements and didn’t want to stop." - Louis

"The biggest challenge for me was my confidence. If something went wrong on the ice, I couldn’t shake it, and it messed with my whole game. I really wanted to get better at mental preparation. Working with Tom completely changed that. He helped me focus, get my confidence back fast, and play with more creativity." - Marc

"Working with Tom made a huge difference for me because he’s been a pro himself. He really understands what it’s like on the ice, and that made it way easier to trust his advice. Since starting, I’ve been more confident, focused, and able to play without overthinking everything." - Étienne
