I was a competitive athlete (in judo) for more than ten years before becoming a psychologist. I had the opportunity to compete at national and international level. Although I no longer play the sport competitively, my experience has given me a good understanding of being an athlete and the world of competitive sport.

As an athlete, you train hard, fight hard, push yourself - push yourself to the limit - to get results - but chances are, that in every competition, there are opponents who do the same.

Most elite athletes put a similar amount of work into their sporting careers in the gym and during training - and of course it's very important, you can't succeed without it. But the most important thing is: how can we get the most out of this work, how can we bring out the best of us at the important moments?

I believe that competitions are decided in the mind - everyone trains hard - and I want to help as many athletes as possible to be mentally well and therefore be able to unleash their potential.
