Dominique Larocque
"In order to reach their full potential, athletes must be willing to commit the necessary time to artfully shape and polish the four facets of their whole being (mental, physical, spiritual and emotional). There are no shortcuts on the path of excellence, just hard work, discipline, commitment and patience." - D.Larocque
Dominique is a sport psychology consultant (creative-wheel.com), a Gestalt therapist, a popular mountain biking coach (www.mountainbikeschool.ca) and a retired two-time national team athlete. She is also trained in ecopsychology, core shamanism and energy healing. Dominique is completing her Master's degree in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa and St-Paul's University.
During the summer, Dominique directs her mountain bike school, LaRoccaXC, based at Camp Fortune, which she founded in 1997. Dominique occasionally races for fun but finds much more enjoyment coaching and supporting her clients through their own personal journeys on the road to excellence and personal fulfillment.
Dominique is very excited to be working with the club, encouraging/supporting new skaters, and sharing her passion and expertise about inline skating.
Dominique is presently building, with the help of her husband and close friends, her Creative Wheel Center on her beautiful piece of land in Val-des-Monts, which she refers to as her 'green gym'.
