Steffany's Hanlen Bio
Ready to overcome obstacles, surge past plateaus and achieve new levels of success? Steffany Hanlen is a performance coach with incredibly special and unique knowledge and understanding of the “winning strategies” you need to know to succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
As a coach Steffany has worked with high-profile professional and amateur athletes, including NHL hockey players and Olympians, as well as singers, actors, ballroom dancers, business owners, CEOs, real estate investors, parents, hard-working “regular people (non-athletes)” and many others … and in each and every case her mission has been the same – to help clients expand and grow, overcome challenges, and achieve even greater success.
After graduating from University of Alberta, where she studied Physical Education and Coaching, Steffany began her career as a Power Skating Coach for hockey players. After a 9-years as Head Skating Instructor with the world-renowned Okanogan Hockey Schools, Steffany became the NHL’s only paid female skating coach under contract first with the Edmonton Oilers (1991-2000) and then with the St. Louis Blues (2000-2005). While at the same time, she was also growing her business of personal coaching, developing her skating programs, and furthering her coaching education and insights.
In February of 2006, Steffany, serving as the team’s mental performance coach, was at the side boards with the Canadian Champion Ice Dancers in Torino, Italy, for the Winter Olympic Games. That was the first time ever that a performance coach had been accredited by the COC and allowed to accompany athletes to this most coveted event!
It was also during that time the Steffany began to prove that her methodology for training world class athletes was the perfect framework and foundation for taking non athlete individuals, business owners and corporate teams to the top of their podium.
As Steffany spent time training and coaching world class athletes to WIN she came to understand that the very same strategies she was using to get athletes to the top of their game worked equally well for business owners, CEOs, corporate teams and other non-athletes seeking greater success in their lives.
So Steffany developed and expanded her programs to branch out and now, as both a coach and speaker, she helps not just athletes but business professionals, parents and others discover their inner champion and surpass their life goals..
