Karen Rose is a performance coach based in Toronto, Canada, with a passion for unlocking the full potential of elite soccer players. A leader and visionary in the performance space, she specializes in identifying the subtle dysfunctions in the body that often go unnoticed — demonstrating how small, intentional shifts can create massive gains in performance.
With a background as a high-level athlete and a professional focus spanning physiotherapy, functional breathing, fascial health, and mental performance, Karen brings a uniquely integrated approach to player development. Her work bridges science and intuition, supporting athletes in building true alignment between breath, body, and mind.
Driven by a commitment to personal growth and a “minimal dose for maximum impact” mentality, Karen is always asking: What’s the one thing that will make everything else easier? For her, that one thing is actually three — aligning the breath, body, and mind.
Her bigger vision? To cultivate a global community of coaches, trainers, and athletes committed to a deeper path — one that doesn’t just develop players, but transforms them from the inside out.
THE ME YOU DON'T SEE
My name is Karen Rose.
I’ve been bullied.
I’ve had businesses fail.
I’ve sat on the bench during games that mattered.
I’ve almost made it — more times than I can count.
But I’ve also won National Championships.
I’ve been named a Canadian All-Star.
I know both heartbreak and triumph.
​
​
I’ve spent my life chasing a path that wasn’t always clear — as an athlete, a coach, and a person. And that path, with all its bumps and breakthroughs, is what allows me to support soccer players like you in a way most coaches can’t
I’ve worked with athletes who felt invisible no matter how hard they worked.
Athletes who recovered slower than expected. Players who were always this close to being chosen… but weren’t.
And I’ve worked with players who rose quickly
through provincial and national ranks, and onto international podiums.
I see both sides — and I know what it takes.
​
To be fully transparent: I lived most of my life out of alignment.
On the surface, I was confident. On the inside? Constantly questioning if I was enough.
I pushed through physically, but ignored what my body and breath were trying to tell me.
I didn’t understand why I couldn’t sustain my performance
or why I felt like everyone else had some secret I didn’t.
​
It wasn’t until I hit a point where everything had to change that I began to rebuild.
I had to re-learn how to breathe, how to move, and how to relate to myself. I went from struggling to feel aligned to understanding the science — and the power — of aligning breath, body, and mind.
What I’ve learned isn’t just theory. It’s lived experience.
And now, it’s the foundation of how I help soccer players find their zone, own their greatness, and build a version of success that’s sustainable — because it’s aligned.
​
This journey has given me the tools and understanding to guide athletes like you to embrace the subtle yet powerful shifts that allow for real growth.
If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, I’m here to help you align your body, breath, and mind — and step into the player you were always meant to be.
