• continuous alignment with the demands of the season

What this delivers:

• coaching that truly fits the rider

• faster insight and behavioural change

Patterns such as perfectionism, avoidance, over-control, or procrastination can silently undermine performance.
I help riders recognise and change these patterns.

What this delivers:

• fewer mental blocks

• increased self-trust

Race readiness goes beyond physical condition.
I work with riders on mental clarity, confidence, and behavioural readiness leading into competition.

What this delivers:

• calmness at the start

• sharper focus during races

Working with the Rider's Non-Professional Network 

Family, partners, and close surroundings can strongly influence stress levels and behaviour.
When needed, I also work with the rider's broader environment.

What I do:

• reduce external pressure and noise

What this delivers:

• a more stable personal environment

• mental calm

• convert setbacks into learning and action

What this delivers:

• faster mental recovery

• sustained motivation

• long-term resilience
