Our seminars will teach you how to apply the best techniques and tools in the field of mental training. The goal of each seminar is to cover one specific area such as focus, children in sports, routines and rituals, coach and athlete relationships, lifestyle changes, and collaboration with parents in more detail. MT seminars have a limited number of students and encourage interaction between students and trainers. They are designed for sports and fitness coaches who want to gain specific knowledge and techniques.
At the end of each seminar, you will have specific tools that you can apply in your first training session. Seminars are held one Tuesday a month, from 5pm to 8pm, and upon completion of the seminar, coaches receive a certificate of participation.
Relaxation exercises for better focus management
Poor performance at competitions is often caused by too much arousal, which is typically followed by poor control of focus. Nervousness characterized by a high level of excitement is an obstacle to many athletes that prevents them form showing their abilities at competitions. Instructions ‘Calm down, relax’ do not work because athletes still do not know how to calm down. At this seminar, you will learn how to reduce arousal and its relation to focus.

Your role as a coach is to know the life stages your client is going through during that change so you can provide them with adequate support and, eventually, have a satisfied client.
