ABOUT ME
I’m Curtis Pelletier, an applied performance psychology coach, and this work lives in the space most people avoid.
It’s not all theory and it’s not surface-level application. It’s about building awareness of behaviour, understanding capacity under pressure, and learning how to think clearly when emotion is doing its best to hijack the room. I work with athletes and high-functioning people who are tired of repeating patterns and calling it growth.
I challenge lazy thinking, recycled theories, borrowed language, unearned certainty and culturally convenient explanations. Not to be contrarian, but because most of what passes for “mindset work” is just emotion talking to emotion. Real development requires separating feeling from meaning, reaction from choice, and effort from actual change.
I’m an athlete and an academic. I care about growth personally, professionally, athletically, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. I listen closely, I tell the truth, and I ask the questions that matter. I’m not here to tell you what you want to hear or hand you answers you can hide behind.
This isn’t a funnel. There are no high-ticket offers, no manufactured urgency, no polished sales language. This is applied work. It’s not a course you finish and walk away from with a false sense of accomplishment. It’s a place to learn how you actually operate, and to grow from there.
What this is
This is applied performance psychology. Real behaviour, real patterns, real consequences. I work on awareness first, then capacity. How you think under pressure. How you behave when things don’t go your way. How you make decisions when emotion is loud and clarity is low. The work is slow on purpose, specific by design, and grounded in observation, not affirmation. I don’t train positivity. I train accuracy. We look at what you actually do, not what you say you value. Growth comes from tightening the gap between intention and behaviour, not from learning new language to describe the same problems.
This work is informed by data, history, biology, and personality. Past behaviour matters. Nervous systems matter. Temperament matters. Context matters. We track patterns, not just insights. We look at what has worked, what hasn’t, and why. This is real work with a purpose, not work for the sake of feeling productive. If it doesn’t change how you think, decide, or act under load, it’s noise.
What this is NOT
This is not mental performance as it’s commonly sold. It’s not mindset theatre, corporate eyewash, or sport psych cosplay. I don’t sell mindfulness as a cure-all, breathwork as identity, or self-talk as a substitute for capacity. I’m not interested in vibes, vision boards, or rehearsed calm layered over unresolved chaos.
It’s also not compliance training, motivational entertainment, or a feel-good add-on to a broken system. I’m not here to help you tolerate environments, behaviours, or identities that are misaligned and calling it resilience. Most of what’s marketed as mental performance today avoids discomfort, avoids truth, and avoids responsibility. It replaces thinking with slogans and effort with optics. That stuff looks good in boardrooms and locker rooms. It doesn’t hold up under pressure.
NOW WHAT
If this resonates, the next step is simple. Book a consultation.
That conversation is not a sales call. It’s a working discussion. We look at how you operate under pressure, where you get stuck, and whether this type of work is actually a fit. I ask questions. I listen. I pay attention to patterns, not promises. If there’s real work to do, we’ll be clear about what that looks like. If there isn’t, I’ll tell you that too.
My methods are applied and structured. We work through behaviour mapping, decision-making under load, personality and temperament, emotional regulation, and capacity building. The focus is always on what changes in real life. How you show up. How you respond. How consistently you can execute when things are uncomfortable. There is reflection, but it’s paired with action, feedback, and accountability. Nothing is done for the sake of doing work.
I work in clear timeframes because change requires containment.
1 month is diagnostic and clarifying. We surface patterns, stress points, and blind spots quickly. This is not a fix. It’s a clear look at what’s actually going on and what would need to change.
3 months is for stabilizing patterns, building awareness, and interrupting what’s clearly not working.
6 months is for integration. New behaviours under pressure, tighter decision-making, and measurable shifts in capacity.
1 year is for people serious about deep change. Identity-level work, durable systems, and long-term alignment across life, sport, and work.
This is not drop-in coaching and it’s not open-ended therapy. It’s deliberate, honest work with people who are willing to be precise about how they live, train, compete, and lead.
