ZORAN STOJKOVIC BIOGRAPHY

Zoran Stojkovic (MSc, CMPC) is a Performance Advisor and Mental Performance Specialist who helps professionals and organizations improve performance under pressure, foster resilience, and optimize systems. He holds a Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology and is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology. With more than fifteen years of experience coaching tennis and over eight years as a mental performance consultant, he has worked with athletes, executives, military personnel, and high-stakes professionals to develop the skills and systems required to perform consistently in demanding environments.

Born in Serbia, Zoran earned a BSc in Psychology from the University of Victoria before completing a Master’s degree in Europe. These dual cultural and academic experiences shaped his grounded, human-centred, systems-based approach to performance coaching. Over the course of his career, he has guided thousands of clients, including Olympic athletes, ATP and WTA players, military aviators, corporate executives, and leadership teams. His clients have represented organizations such as Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, Athletics Canada, Rugby Canada, Major League Soccer, and the private sector.

Currently serving as a Mental Performance Manager with the Canadian Forces, Zoran works with pilots, instructors, and leadership teams to optimize cockpit performance. His approach includes targeted “power coaching” sessions focused on energy management, pre-flight routines, debrief maximization, and tailored stress navigation strategies. He integrates evidence-based tools such as tactical breathing, structured goal systems, recovery protocols, performance activation routines, and positive self-talk — all reinforced by mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, and distraction-control techniques that enhance resilience and adaptability.

Zoran’s philosophy is rooted in continuous learning, drawing inspiration from works such as Breath by James Nestor, The Culture Code by Dan Coyle, and Atomic Habits by James Clear. He produced two seasons of the Cultivate Your Culture podcast and now hosts Built for Pressure, a short-form podcast for leaders and high performers in high-stakes environments. Episodes deliver practical insights on resilience, mindset, execution, and decision-making under pressure, with frameworks such as W.I.N. (“What’s Important Now”), C.P.R. (“Calm, Present, Ready”), V.U.C.A. (“Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity”), and R.I.C.E. (“Reward, Ideology, Coercion, Ego”).

Through his consulting work, Zoran delivers workshops, coaching, and keynote speaking that blend performance psychology, systems thinking, and neuroscience. More than 2,000 clients have applied tools from his sessions, ranging from pre-performance activation protocols to post-performance reflection systems. His programs are designed to deliver immediate impact and long-term application, equipping leaders and teams with the resilience, clarity, and readiness to excel in uncertain, complex, and high-pressure situations.

Known for his ability to connect with both leadership and frontline professionals, Zoran delivers sessions that are engaging, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practice. By emphasizing both mental skills and system-level performance strategies, he helps organizations create sustainable, high-functioning environments where people can perform when it matters most.

Zoran Stojkovic Speaking Testimonials

Zoran excels at asking questions to get to the root of a problem and aid in finding a solution. I’ve become closer to my teammates and learned a great deal about myself, including mental techniques to prep for and use during events. I love how much Zoran cares for his athletes and strives to make them the best they can be.      

Taylor Reese-Hansen

Competitive Curler and 3x Provincial Champion

Zoran used an approach that fits my personality, situation, sport and strengths. We’ve upgraded my mental performance toolbox. Now I can work through difficulties with skills like pre-game visualization audios, in-game breathing techniques, post-game reflections, and positive re-enforcement.      

Gabrielle Senft

Pro Union Player
Saracens Rugby Team & Team Canada

Zoran’s positive, open attitude made me feel comfortable immediately. This, along with the wealth of knowledge and resources Zoran provided, helped me improve as an athlete and a person.      

Aigne McGeady-Bruce

Hockey Player
Estevan Bruins

Zoran listened to me and gave me customized tools I can used during training and competition. I learned how to gain control and consistency between heart rate and breathing techniques. Now I use those techniques in my preparation for work and training.      

Eric Hegadoren

Pro Baseball Pitcher and Multi Sport College Athlete

Zoran recognizes that every athlete is unique. With his help, I’ve learned to boost my confidence, shift my mindset and self-talk, and maintain my focus during games. Zoran’s techniques helped me simplify my mind, eliminate distractions, and support my teammates better.      

Megan McGillivray

Competitive Curler & Provincial Champion

Working with Zoran has changed my mindset when approaching mental work as an athlete. He was very easy to talk to and taught me how to use a mental switch so that I fly my mind into doing something I want.
