My many years of experience as a competitive athlete, an established sports scientist and research associate at university, and a trained mental coach all flow into my work with amateur and competitive athletes. I know what I am talking about because I am a practitioner and know the specialist literature. But also, because I am an athlete and a scientist, an active coach and a trainer. 

​

Together, we develop mental strategies for the specific challenges you face in your sport. We look at your current situation, develop approaches tailored to you and put them into practice. The aim is to help you use your skills as consistently as possible in both training and competition and pursue your sporting goals.

 

In particular, as a sports mental coach, I support you in...

​

• dealing with pressure and expectations

• mastering stressful situations with confidence

• overcoming fear (fear of failure/fear of performance/fear of making mistakes/fear after injury)

• regulating (competition) nervousness

• suppressing distractions and interferences

• turning defeats into motivation

• recognizing and dissolving blockages

• focusing and consciously turning your attention

• achieving and maintaining the ideal performance state

• develop strategies to perform to your potential as consistently as possible

• developing courses of action to resolve conflicts

• making clear decisions

• keeping the joy of doing sports

• having more courage and self-confidence

• acting according to plan and achieving set goals

• developing strategies when you cannot retrieve performance in competition, as in training 

• directing your emotions positively
   

The methods you learn will help you as a trainer…

​

• if you no longer have confidence in the performance and motivation of your players

• when your players/athletes have difficulties communicating with each other and with you as a trainer

• when the team no longer feels like a unit and acts against each other

 

The coaching is always tailored to your interests, wishes, objectives, and time possibilities. You get nothing off-the-rack with me but always custom work.
