Sport mental training is suitable for anyone who does sport. More and more people are interested in it because it helps to implement visions more precisely and achieve goals more quickly and easily. But it also helps people far removed from sport, such as top managers or other people who want to be successful. However, they need a push to achieve their goals better and need techniques to support them.

Mental coach training provides in-depth knowledge and practical methods to promote mental strength and personal development. The typical content includes

• Drive and motivation techniques: Strategies for the targeted activation of inner resources and for increasing self-motivation.
• Stress and energy techniques: Methods for effective stress management and building sustainable energy in everyday life.
• Transformation and emotional techniques: Tools for consciously changing thought and behaviour patterns and for emotional stabilization.
• Memory and concentration: techniques to improve cognitive skills and mental focus.

These topics form the basis for the professional support of individuals or groups in change processes. The training emphasizes the application in everyday life and in professional contexts such as coaching, consulting or training.
