In addition, Dr. Schuler provides clinical support to aspiring Olympic athletes and those already on the World and Olympic stage. Dr. Schuler routinely provides high performance mindset coaching through Game Plan, mental health strategies for high performance sport with Canadian Olympic athletes. He is an expert on how the mind works, how it gets de-railed and how to get it back on track for athletes young and old.
In his clinical work with young elite athletes, Dr. Schuler is particularly interested in post-concussion/post-injury mental health recovery with boys and young men (ages 12-21), and the effects of highly competitive sports and elite training on young athletes and their psycho-social/emotional development. As well, Dr. Schuler has helped countless athletes of all ages move beyond their performance barriers in order to realize their full winning potential.
For more than two decades, Dr. Schuler has practiced in the area of mental health recovery with children and adolescents, which he has combined with his knowledge of and passion for competitive sports. Dr. Schuler believes in the importance of understanding the connection between positive mind-set and mental health when nurturing young elite athletes to their potential. In his spare time, Dr. Schuler is a passionate medium distance endurance runner.

Schuler Counselling has fostered long standing, close community collaborations and partnerships for its performance athletes and their family members. Community networks with psychiatry, education, developmental, orthopedic / sports medicine, and other outpatient mental health services help to support a continuity of service for all our young / professional athletes.
