Karissa Johnson

Mental Performance Consultant – Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan

Karissa was born and raised in North East Saskatchewan. As a multi-sport athlete, she experienced her fair share of highs and lows in sport. Upon high school graduation, Karissa came across the idea of sport psychology and mental performance and realized, “that’s what was missing.” So, she took it upon herself to become the support person she needed when she was an athlete. Now, Karissa is a PhD Candidate in the College of Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research focuses on self-compassion, and how it can be a valuable internal resource for young women athletes. Naturally, self-compassion also informs much of Karissa’s consulting approach, where she specializes in working with young women athletes. As a consultant, Karissa has worked with young women from a variety of ages (e.g., 9-40 years old) and sport backgrounds (e.g., ringette, figure skating, volleyball, bob sleigh, cheerleading). Karissa also has experience as a cheer coach, so can understand challenges of, and opportunities to bring mental performance into your role as athletes.
