I’m Stefan Peter. I work with professional and elite youth football players on mental performance and breathwork - helping them stay calm, confident, and consistent in elite environments.

 

I am trained in High-Performance Psychology and Athlete Development at FC Barcelona and hold a Master’s in Sports Health & Leadership. Today, I support international professionals and national team players who want their performance to hold up in big games, in trials or when pressure rises.

 

After being scouted as a boy by Manchester United I trialed with Leyton Orient when I was 17. When the pressure increased, my performance dropped - not because I lacked talent or work ethic, but because I didn’t yet understand how important mental strength was and how pressure reveals gaps. That gap cost me my chance. It’s the same gap I help players close today.

 

When I lost my dad at 19, everything fell apart. I quit football soon after and spent nearly two years feeling lost, angry, and disconnected from myself and the game.

 

Like many athletes, I believed the answer was to push harder. Train more. Toughen up. That worked for a while - until it didn’t. It wasn’t until I slowed down, did the inner work, and got the right support that I understood what real mental strength actually is.

 

That experience changed how I see performance. It’s not just physical. It’s mental, emotional, and deeply connected to how the body handles stress. That insight led me to study psychology, nervous system regulation, and performance breathwork — and to build an approach that helps athletes stay grounded, confident, and fully present under pressure.
