I’m Dr. Mackenzie Acheson, MD - sports psychiatrist for the Winnipeg Jets and performance consultant for elite athletes across hockey, golf, baseball, football, and many other sports. My job is simple: train the mental side of your game so you can play the way you know you can, more often.
What I Do
One-on-one support for mood, sleep, focus, anxiety, substance use, confidence, recovery.
Quick-hit tools you can use today - in the room, on the road, or on the ice.
No judgement, complete confidentiality.
Why This Site Exists
Playing in the NHL means travel chaos, media heat, and expectations that never shut off. Under that load, anxiety and low mood are normal, not rare - 1 in 3 elite athletes battles them each season. The good news: mental skills are trainable and quick to learn. This site is your on-demand toolkit, and I’m available one-on-one if you want deeper work. Scroll through, grab a strategy, feel the difference - then reach out any time.
Bottom Line
There’s no “mental weakness” here, just another edge to gain. Think good. Play good.
