(1 Season working together)
(Alec originally signed D3, then signed D1 with Denver shortly after this video was recorded)
"Before working with Identity Shift, I would consider myself a good player, but was just lacking the mental skills and abilities that great players have... Corson basically teaches you from the ground up how to analyze your own mind and how to understand how your mind works and how to turn around negative emotions and thoughts into positive outcomes. This has helped me tremendously, even after mistakes, I'm able to turn around and still play my best hockey! Working with Identity Shift will tremendously increase your chances of playing consistently your best hockey.
​
If your not sure about joining, just do it , you won't regret it!"

Joshua Schenk
BCHL -> Dartmouth College (NCAA D1)
(1 Season working together)
"Corson has helped my game so much. Before this season I wasn’t confident with the puck, didn’t shoot the puck and was very hard on myself. If I had one mistake that would often be it for my mental game the rest of the night I would be so hard on myself and it ruined games for me. Corson’s training has helped my mental game and my confidence levels to the point where I am now able to make plays with the puck consistently, shoot the puck without hesitation and not get down on myself during games."

"If you take the end of the season, where I was really popping off, you will see the change in confidence in my game… I was holding on to pucks more, coming into contact, making plays, scoring a lot more."

Connor's Experience with us...
"I was struggling with hockey IQ and the mental side of the game—I just didn’t feel good as a player. But this program helped me grow in ways I didn’t even know were possible. I made huge breakthroughs in my mindset, my skill, and my confidence. It helps you deal with the toughest parts of being a hockey player—on and off the ice. If you're thinking about joining, get ready for the biggest development of your life."

"The Next Level Academy’s mental programming has helped me completely level up as a player. Before starting the program I didn’t really understand the type of player I was and like most thought they were a “skill guy” and I wasn’t that successful in games during this time. Once starting and completing the mental shift part of the program I can confidently identify the type of player I am which is a physical power forward and use my strengths properly. My identity shift has allowed me to enter a flow state in games where I don’t second guess my decisions and make appropriate plays at the right times. A result I am proud of from this past season is my performance during the playoffs, I felt that I took my game to another level and I feel I left off on a high note that’s going to translate well into next season. I highly recommend the Next Level Academy, it’s a community of athletes that are like-minded and have the same passion to improve.."

"Working with Corson for the past 3 years has changed the way I view my development as a hockey player. He has helped me implement a weekly development system that checks all physical and mental boxes that I need to be a high end hockey player. This eliminates any anxiety I may have about my hockey career because I know that if I stick to the system weekly I will be a very good player in the long run. He provides constructive feedback on the videos I submit. Finally; working with Corson helped me have a positive mindest and training while dealing with 9 month injury. With his help I am on track to pursue my hockey goals."

Marcus Ray
PHL U18 (AAA) to NA3HL
"As a hockey player, he was able to help me with ways to gain and maintain my confidence as a player even during slumps in the season. More importantly, Corson supported me in teaching organizational strategies around my daily schedule that resulted in alleviating my stress and accomplishing my daily training. During my work with Corson, he recommended workouts that helped me develop specific skills needed as a hockey player. He was able to assist me with ice hockey strategies to become a stronger/better player. Corson also advised me in ways to begin and maintain a healthy nutritional diet as an athlete. "

Reid Slugoski
U18 AAA to SJHL
(2 Years)
"The biggest thing that has changed for me since starting to work with Corson is feeling more calm on the ice and confident. I find myself being able to flow on the ice and it showed as my performance increased jurasticslly as well as my numbers. I started to feel more confident and demanded the puck more and started to make more plays. Corson really helped me achieve my goal of making midget AAA which thinking back to last year I didn’t even think it was possible but now it’s become a reality. After joining the program I now know who I am as a player and my role to my team. It has really helped me to know what my job is on the ice and what my team needs from me. I would highly recommend the next levels academy if you want to up your hockey game. The plan that is set into place for you with weekly coaching calls, being held accountable, various mental tools, really helped me level up my game. Even as a person I see myself as someone who dominates and on the ice my mindset has shifted to being powerful and going after it rather than waiting."

Will Anderson
MSHSL (Minnesota highschool league)
Before Identity Shift, I was the kid who sat on the bench, afraid to have the puck. I tried skills training, but nothing fixed the inconsistency or self-doubt. Corson gave me the tools to train my mind, sharpen my focus, and finally play with confidence. Now I’m scoring more, making smart plays, and getting the ice time I used to only dream about. This program changed everything — it’s the closest thing to a silver bullet for hockey performance. You know people say there isn't any silver bullet, a perfect pill you can take to go where you want, be anyone you want to be. This may be the closest thing you can get to that, mastering your mental game, and working with someone who can help not only with your mental game, but your skills, IQ, awareness, weight lifting, nutrition, sleep, and so much more.

Max Richler
AAA -> CCHL (Smith Falls Bears)
(2 years working together)
"Before working with Corson, my mental game was the worst part of my game. I was constantly overthinking, nervous, and worried about what others thought. But Corson helped me break that cycle by showing me how to focus on what I can control and shift my perspective. I had a turning point on one of our calls where I finally gave myself permission to go all in—and since then, everything has changed. My mindset, my confidence, and my performance have all skyrocketed. Teammates, coaches, even my parents now say my mental game is my biggest strength. I’ve gone from being a hesitant player to a man on a mission—and I’m loving the process. If you're serious about becoming the best version of yourself, this program will change your life."

Denzel Salndjoukou
(RSEQ M18 D1 R)
When I joined the Next Level Hockey Academy, my primary goal was to develop the mental side of my game. While participating in the program, I found that it touched every aspect of hockey, offering stickhandling drills, guided meditation courses, and even nutrition courses. This approach not only improved my performance on the ice but also positively impacted my academic life and other areas. We had office hours dedicated to studying or reviewing game footage with Corson, and I found those sessions particularly enjoyable and beneficial. Overall, I loved being a part of the Academy and learned great lessons that will always stay with me.
