ABOUT
I help hockey players build the focus, confidence, and grit to perform under pressure—and stay locked in when it matters most.
I’m Sandy Cohan, founder of Mental Edge Hockey.
For over 15 years, I’ve taught professionals, Olympians, prospects, Division 1 standouts, and high-level youth hockey players how to master MINDSET. My work happens in locker rooms, leadership meetings, parent education nights, and with entire organizations who want their players to compete with clarity, resilience, and real edge.
This isn’t about hype or hope. It’s about tools that work—under fire, on the ice, in real time.
I teach players how to:
- Reset instantly after mistakes
- Flip the switch into compete mode
- Lead themselves with presence and control
- Stay composed in high-stakes moments
- Train their mindset like a skill—not a guess
I’m also the author of the 99 Rules series—direct, high-impact books trusted by athletes and sports parents who want to build competitors with character.
Let’s build the mindset that plays bigger than the moment.
