Performance Psychology courses launch on the Snow Academy

The Olympic Winter Institute of Australia (OWIA) and Snow Australia Performance Psychology Team present online short courses called the Mindset Level Up Program.

 The Mindset Level Up Program emphasizes psychological skill development across an athlete’s career, with courses organized into 3 levels: Ground Level – Pro Level – Next Level. The Ground Level courses cover the foundations of performance psychology – Intensity Regulation, Concentration, Confidence, Motivation and Mindset, and Self-Regulation. The Ground Level online courses are offered free of charge to the winter sport community of athletes, coaches, and staff.

 “In alignment with the FTEM framework for talent development and Australia's commitment to Win Well, the Mindset Level Up Program reflects a systematic approach to developing athlete psychological skills required for career advancement and medal attainment “ explains Stacy Gnacinski, OWIA Performance Psychologist. “These self-paced online training courses serve to increase access to innovative psychological skills training opportunities to athletes across the entire pathway”.

The courses are an engaging educational resource that incorporates interactive learning activities and knowledge checks. At the end of each course, participants will be provided with a menu of skills that can be practiced in the daily training environment, the competition environment, and in life generally. Each course takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete, and a certificate of course completion will be generated after each finished course.
