03 / MY APPROACH
UNDERSTAND.
CHOOSE. ACT.
A result tells a story. I want to understand what is behind it.
WHY WORK
WITH ME?
I bring together experience as a world-class athlete, a coach and someone who works on athletes’ mental preparation. This lets me look at difficulties from more than one perspective.
I work one-to-one with athletes who feel they can achieve more but do not know what is holding them back. I look at training, decisions, relationships and responses under pressure. A difficulty may have technical, physical, mental or environmental causes — a result alone does not tell the whole story.
Depending on your needs, we review training and competition, work on pressure, attention and self-talk, and develop pre-performance routines. Where possible, I observe training or competition. We involve a coach or parent only when it supports the process and the athlete agrees.
I see mental preparation and training as parts of the same process. A difficulty that becomes visible in competition often starts much earlier.
03 How I work
FIRST, UNDERSTAND.
THEN, MOVE.
A PERSON BEFORE A RESULT.
01
Observation
I look at how you train, respond, communicate and make decisions, taking your environment and recurring patterns into account. I look beyond a single result to find the right place to begin.
02
Understanding
I get to know the person behind the result: your goals, strengths, needs, concerns and responses under pressure. I want to understand your situation thoroughly before we choose a direction for our work.
03
Direction
Together, we identify what is really holding you back, choose a priority and agree on a specific action. We do not work on everything at once. One problem. The right direction. A concrete action.
04
Independence
I do not make every decision for you. You learn to notice your own responses, assess situations and make considered choices. You develop trust in your preparation and take responsibility for your next move.
CONVERSATION IS PART OF TRAINING.
THE GOAL:
INDEPENDENCE.
My mission is to help you recognise what is really holding you back and find a direction that fits your situation. No single method works for everyone.
One athlete needs more confidence; another needs calm. One needs more information; another needs less of it. One is learning to fight; another needs to stop fighting themselves. That is why I do not judge you solely by a time, a mistake or a place in the standings.
I do not aim to make you dependent on the next piece of advice. The goal is to become the coach in your own head: to understand yourself, make considered decisions and act independently — in training, in competition and beyond sport.
First, I observe. Then, I understand. Next, we choose a direction together — before you make your move.
