FROM GOALKEEPER TALENT
T O M I N D S E T C O A C H
TO MINDSET COACH
As a young goalkeeper, I was chasing the dream, on the path to go pro. I loved the pressure, the competition, the feeling of being fully alive on the pitch. But behind the scenes, I carried a lot. When I lost my dad at 19, everything collapsed. Soon after I quit soccer. I felt lost and angry with me and the world and got stuck in a dark place for nearly two years.
Like many athletes, I thought the answer was to push harder. Train more. Be tougher. But that approach only worked for so long. It wasn’t until I slowed down, did the inner work, and got the right support that I began to understand what real mental toughness means. I learned that performance isn’t just physical, it’s deeply mental, emotional, and even spiritual. That realization sent me deep into studying how the body works, how the mind works, psychology, breathwork training, and ultimately mental training for athletes.
MY VISION
Above the entrance of Wimbledon it says: "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster / And treat those two imposters just the same" - by Kipling
Here’s my truth: I don’t have to choose between being competitive and being at peace with myself. I learned, embracing both will make me stronger. When we focus only on winning and fighting against opponents, we lose the energy, creativity, and joy that come from truly being present in the game. It's not really about winning or losing - just like Kipling says in his poem "if" Whenever I am able to blend my own competitive fire with peaceful mindfulness I feel how I get into flow states. It's a certain joyfulnes I feel in those moments that makes high performance easier.
Imagine playing with a clear mind, calm focus, and the joy you had when you first fell in love with soccer. Imagine having the energy to push yourself to new heights without losing touch with the passion that made you love the game in the first place. Imagine performing at your best while feeling balanced, healthy, and truly alive.
That’s what I’m here to help you achieve.
We’ll focus on what truly matters. Trying the balancing act between the intensity of competition and inner confidence and calmness, despite the storm and the pressure. The more you grow in self awareness the more you are able to stay present and focused, both on the pitch and in life. Together, we’ll break through mental and emotional barriers that held you back way to long and maybe even discover a powerful vision that goes above and beyond what you think is possible for yourself today.
Are you ready to play the game (of life) with love, purpose, and joy?
