I Got Mind Inc. was created in 2008 by former NHL Defensemen and Life Coach, Bob Wilkie. Growing up playing hockey and eventually going to an elite level, the culture of the sport engraved unhealthy habits and memories for Bob. He was one of the surviving teammates of the 1986 Swift Current Broncos bus crash at the age of seventeen. He watched one of his teammates take his final breath and his life changed forever.
Bob’s trauma led him through a complicated playing career for the remainder of his time in the NHL. Bob struggled with alcoholism and the dependency he had developed as a coping mechanism and his mental health space was quite toxic due to his grief and unhealed trauma. This ultimately led him to leaving the NHL.
A short time after leaving, Bob began coaching hockey locally. Through his coaching, he realized that many of his young players were experiencing the same issues that he had come across in his career as well. Bob began to coach one-on-one sessions that led to him creating I Got Mind in 2008, where he focused on bridging the gap between positive mental health and the game of hockey. He also gained his mental training certificate under Bob Proctor. Since then, Bob has made it his mission to help players and teams in all different sports to focus on their mental health just as much as their physical health.
I Got Mind has expanded to help sporting organizations, businesses, educators, parents, coaches and individuals with the courses and programs that we offer. Two of the core groups that we work with, youth sporting organizations and the education sector, because our main audience to which we offered our services through. Due to both groups’ lack of funds and time, it became evident that they needed our support at a lower time and financial commitment. This led us to create our nonprofit organization, I Got Mind for Sports and Education.
