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.
