Jessica Bayne
Mental Performance Coach

I am a mental performance specialist, coach, and lifelong athlete who helps athletes and performers build confidence, manage pressure, and perform more consistently. My approach combines evidence-based sport and performance psychology, as well as first-hand experience as a coach, athlete, musician, and work in the medical field. 

​

I am currently completing my Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology, and am in progress to becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) with the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). I have experience working with varsity teams, individual athletes and performers, and groups of varying ages and sports in building the mental side of sport excellence. I also work under the mentorship of a Certified Mental Performance Consultant who currently works in the NHL and MLB. 

​

My main background in sports is in equestrian eventing, where performance requires focus, adaptability, emotional control, and the ability to respond under pressure. With 20 years of experience as an athlete, over 10 years as a coach, and graduate education in sport and performance psychology, I bring both practical and evidence-based knowledge to my work.

​

Throughout my career, I have worked under and alongside Olympic athletes and coaches, giving me valuable experience in high-performance environments. I also bring experience from the performing arts (music and theatre) and veterinary medicine, where focus, confidence, and composure are equally important. 

​

I believe mental skills should support each performer’s individual strengths. My goal is to help athletes and performers better understand their mental game and apply practical strategies in training, competition, and other performance settings.
 

I look forward to using my experience and education to help athletes and performers of all levels build confidence, resilience, and the mental skills needed to reach their goals!
