HOLISTIC PERFORMANCE AND MINDSET COACHING FOR PRO SOCCER PLAYERS AND COACHES - PEAK PERFORMANCE MEETS PEACE OF MIND!
BY STEFAN PETER, CREATOR OF THE EMOTIONSET METHOD
Most athlete's nervous system is in constant fight or flight mode. The inner battle never stops and emotional ups and downs can cause overthinking. Breathing is the mirror of your inner state and dramitically influences your abilty to recover during sleep and build mental toughness and resilience.
Many players waste 5–7 minutes to get fully focused and locked in at the start of a game. This slow mental start often leads to avoidable "silly" mistakes. With the right mental training and breathwork protocol, focus and concentration can become a powerful advantage and a key driver of your peak performance.
87.5% of athletes breathe dysfunctionally. When your breathing muscles are not fit for high performance they steal oxygen-rich blood from your legs, leaving you feeling heavy, slow, burned out and breathless. You don't just feel tired, your body language also shows tired.
It all starts with the breath. Specific soccer breathing techniques help to reduce stress, improve recovery and even boost repeated sprint abilty by up to 64%. Scientifically proven methods regulate the autonomic nervous system and help you getting out of the constant fight and flight state, when you need to.
Focus and concentration is what follows naturally and the base for mental training, visualization, self talk techniques etc. Cognitive restructuring of the subconscious mind can help to overcome annoying blockages. Only then athletes build real and lasting mental strength and resilience needed for high-pressure situations.
Creating a longterm vision & setting goals beyond just winning games on the pitch is the final part based on your own motivational drivers and personality type. Together we build your unique high-performance habit protocols, so you can perform and enjoy no matter the circumstances.
HI, I AM
STEFAN PETER
Where It Begins:
Mental strength requires strong and functional breathing. The first step is to help you understand how your breath directly impacts your focus, energy, and confidence. Through my specific soccer breathwork training protocol, we improve your biochemistry, biomechanics, and nervous system regulation. This is the foundation for effective mental training for athletes, especially in high-pressure moments where performance anxiety often shows up.
Where We're Going:
Together, we build mental toughness, clarity, and the ability to stay calm and sharp during games. Whether you're a young talent or seasoned pro, I give you practical tools rooted in soccer psychology and mental preparation for soccer to boost your concentration, consistency, and emotional control on and off the pitch.
How to Start:
Your breath is the mirror of your mindset. Start with the BOLT test (see video above) to check your current state. Then book a free 30-minute call with me. I’ll walk you through real, proven techniques from my EMOTIONSET METHOD - used by dozens of top players to help you break through mental blocks and create lasting habits for high performance and mental health. No fluff. No monk stuff. Just what works. Looking forward meeting you.
"I managed to identify the fears and negative belief that have been holding me back a lot. I have been doing the breathing exercises and it helped me a lot with my performance also. The fear meditation is something I also do daily, it helped me to decrease my anxiety and stress"
"My consistency was always hitting a peak and then I would hit this rock bottom emotionally, spiritually and physically. The Emotionset Method helped me to push myself back up and I can highly recommend it to any coach or player."
