Frequently Asked Questions
A few practical answers about the coaching, the mountain experience, and how to get started.
Who is MTN Performance coaching for?
MTN Performance is designed for founders, executives, and business owners who connect with mountain sports and want to bring better focus, clearer decisions, and more sustainable performance into their work.
You do not need to be an elite athlete. What matters is a willingness to reflect, experiment, and apply the work between sessions.
How is this different from a ski or snowboard lesson?
Technical coaching remains part of the mountain experience, but the purpose extends beyond improving your riding.
We use the mountain to explore how you prepare, choose challenges, respond to fear, direct attention, and make decisions. Integration work then connects those observations to your professional life.
Which program should I choose?
- Mountain Performance Intensive: three private mountain days and two virtual integration sessions.
- Virtual Accelerator: twelve weekly coaching sessions without travel.
- Flagship: six mountain days, twelve weekly virtual sessions, and access to the custom performance app.
Visit the Programs page for current details and investment. If you are unsure which format fits, send Jake an inquiry before choosing.
Do I need to ski or snowboard?
For on-mountain programs, you should be at least an intermediate skier or snowboarder, comfortable on blue runs. We discuss your ability and goals before confirming the experience.
The Virtual Accelerator does not require travel or on-snow participation. You can discuss suitability with Jake before making a commitment.
How are the Whistler mountain days organised?
MTN Performance acts as a wholesale reseller for sessions booked under Extremely Canadian through its Whistler Blackcomb arrangement.
The relevant booking, waiver, and safety requirements are explained during booking. Client lift access, equipment, travel, and accommodation are arranged separately unless your written package expressly includes them.
Can I arrange the mountain days around a trip?
We discuss your travel plans, preferred dates, and coaching goals before confirming a schedule. Mountain dates depend on Jake’s availability, provider availability, and operating conditions.
Send your proposed dates early so we can explore suitable options before you commit to travel arrangements.
What results should I expect?
We begin by identifying your goals and starting point, then choose practical changes to test and review.
Progress may involve protecting focused work, approaching a difficult decision more deliberately, improving preparation, or building more consistent recovery habits.
Outcomes depend on your circumstances and participation. Specific business or performance results are not guaranteed.
Can I add mountain days or work with a team?
Additional mountain days may be arranged, subject to availability. Current options are outlined on the Programs page.
Team workshops and group experiences are scoped separately. Contact Jake with your group size, goals, preferred format, and dates.
Is the book free, and do I have to subscribe?
Yes. Sunday You vs. Monday You is available as a free digital download, with a separate companion workbook.
Marketing signup is optional. Requesting the book does not oblige you to purchase coaching or receive promotional emails.
How do I start a conversation?
