The Power of Sports Psychology
Imagine you could elevate your athletic performance to the next level – the final 10% that make the difference between good and outstanding. This is where sports psychology comes into play.
It is a field that specifically focuses on what happens in your mind when testing your limits. The goal is to recognize and intentionally develop your mental strengths – so you can stay focused, gain momentum when it matters most, and remain calm and confident even under pressure.
What can you gain from this? Improved concentration, increased self-confidence, stronger resilience against setbacks – in short: A mindset that always keeps you one step ahead.

About Me
I have always been fascinated by the incredible power of our psyche and how it can help us achieve things beyond imagination. With my psychology degree, ongoing training to become a psychotherapist, and further education in sports psychology, I have fulfilled my dream of acquiring the necessary know-how to help you unlock your full potential.
I see my role as being your sparring partner on the way to the top. I want to remind you of what you are capable of when you are given the right mental tools. I believe that everyone, including you, can do more than you might currently think. This conviction gives me the energy and confidence to do my best every day. Human potential and the various ways to harness it are my driving forces.
My mission is your peak performance. My motivation is your well-being, and your goals are my guide to finding the best ways to support and accompany you. Individuality and character are integral parts of this. You are not just an elite athlete but a person deserving of comprehensive support.

Process of Support
Your sports psychological support is uniquely tailored to you. Your goals, expectations, and individual circumstances guide the path we take together and the direction we move in. Once we have analyzed your starting point and defined the desired state, we develop a rough plan for our collaboration. This plan is flexible and adapts to your life situation, athletic career, and personal wishes, remaining both process- and goal-oriented.
No pre-made blueprint can best account for your individuality. Therefore, at OptiMind, I avoid overarching concepts that are not customized to you. Of course, I use scientifically proven methods and strategies to unlock your maximum potential, but I always tailor them to your needs.
