Sports Coaching

Why consult a psychotherapist for sports coaching?

Typically in competitive sports, competitions and challenges come in different forms. The pressure of expectations placed on oneself or by others leads to psychological stress and often hinders maximum performance. Inner self-talk and motivation, which are often perceived as unstable or dysfunctional, are also relevant, which increases psychological stress. In addition, many competitive athletes feel particularly tense when they are confronted with an upcoming competition or tournament that is important to them. As a psychologist and psychotherapist with expertise in supporting professional athletes, I am well trained to help you overcome these challenges. I am currently enrolled in a high-quality training program for sports psychology. There is no doubt that performance in sport depends at least equally on mental and physical performance. Mind and body must work together. Let me provide you with professional support.

Your goals for sports coaching could be:

  • Become and remain number one,

  • Overcome your own hurdles and blockages,

  • Stay mentally strong and calm in difficult situations,

  • Dealing with crises or defeats in a functional way and learning from them,

  • Navigating pressure to perform and using it to your advantage.

  • Manage a phase of or after injury

How does it work?

Drawing on my extensive, evidence-based methods and deep understanding of the human psyche, I work with you to uncover your causes of stress and identify hidden thought patterns that are hindering your peak performance. By tailoring my approach to your specific needs, I offer you personalized coaching ranging from mental visualization exercises over relaxation techniques such as breathing meditation to attention spot training. My goal is to give you the tools you need to overcome potential obstacles and unlock your full potential.

Possible results

Sports psychological support and training with individual athletes and teams usually leads to improved focus and confidence for most of them during competitions, resulting in outstanding performances on the dance floor, field or court. In addition, many athletes learn efficient methods for coping with stress and dealing with obstructive emotions, which significantly improved their emotional resilience and ability to focus not only in sport. In addition, most athletes acquire important skills in the area of goal setting and mental imagination, which enables them to achieve their goals and enjoy the journey. In summary, my psychological sports coaching equips competitive athletes with the mental resources and techniques they need to reach their full potential and excel in their chosen sport. Use my sports coaching to reach your full potential faster.
