Overview

In The Power of a Conscious Athlete, Cindy Deugo reveals the life-altering power of conscious awareness. We often live day-to-day on auto-pilot, unmindful of what really drives us and unaware of the false, limiting beliefs that hold us back. An accomplished athlete in canoe and flatwater kayak, she has also completed the Ironman four times along with countless triathlons, marathons, and road races. She shares her inspiring story of learning to look inward, exploring the hidden fears and emotional pain beneath the surface, and changing her thoughts and beliefs. Connecting to a deeper level of consciousness can transform you as an athlete and human being, improve your performance, and unleash your true potential. There is something about engaging in competition, not only with others but deep within ourselves that can either hold us back or empower and transform us. Most of us never make a change in our lives until it's too painful not to change. When you don't force change but intentionally choose it, you redefine possibility. As your awareness deliberately increases, your mind, heart and soul will expand into new territory, new possibilities, and a new way of being. Deugo guides you through Five Steps to Consciousness to become better in your sport than you ever thought possible, become more intentional, aligned and balanced in all aspects of your life, and discover your purpose, passion, and meaning. She lays out the tools to help you observe and shift your patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion just as you would observe your patterns of movement in sport. Changing your thoughts and emotions changes your life, and changes your world! Wake up. Train intentionally. Find Flow. Use the power of consciousness to deliberately enhance your performance and your life.

Whether you are an elite athlete looking for an edge or someone searching for a way to enrich your life, this book can help you. -Sue Holloway Canadian Sports Hall of Fame Olympian, Cross Country Skiing and Sprint Kayak, 1979, 1980, Motivational Speaker I seek those who hold sacred the inner journey. For it is they who inspire me to search within, to free myself from the self-inflicted judgements that limit my growth, and at the same time, encourage me to open my heart with kindness towards myself. With all the gifts Cindy possesses--accomplished athlete, expert personal trainer and coach, yoga instructor, and meditation teacher--I believe her most remarkable gift is her ability to accept people for who they are, meet them in the sacred space of possibility, and inspire them to cultivate the strength, stamina, and conviction to reach their performance and life goals. I highly recommend her book for anyone seeking a conscious, holistic path for becoming their personal best. -Dr. Suzanne Nixon, PhD Integrative Psychotherapist, Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Student, Colleague, Friend As a professional hockey skating coach for the past 30 years, my clients include Olympians, NHL players, and thousands of college and youth players. In 2008, long before hockey players were doing yoga, I hired Cindy Deugo to create and teach ""Hockey Yoga"" to AAA and NCAA skaters at a summer speed camp. The players finished the week inspired by Cindy to look inside themselves to harness the power of their minds to get the most from their bodies, and ""Hockey Yoga"" became a permanent, and enormously popular, part of our curriculum. She is an elite multi-sport athlete that has trained, conditioned, and taught athletes of all types and a wide range of abilities. She has amassed a vast understanding of human kinetics and mental motivation and has developed an exceedingly rare coaching skill set. She is a world class expert in sports performance coaching with the tools to target the specific needs of athletes in their individual sport and guide them to the peak of their physical and mental capabilities. -Wendy Marco Owner of ColdRush Hockey and the Washington Capitals Skating Coach I have known Cindy my whole life as she is one of my mom's best friends and past coach. She is someone I lean on when my heart and soul need someone to talk things out with. Cindy leads with her whole heart and fills any room she walks into with love. This book is crucial for the athlete, but more importantly, for the human behind the athlete, to achieve deep success. -Maddy Schmidt Canadian Olympic Canoe-Sprint Kayak Team Member, 2020"
