He has a comprehensive knowledge around the development of Mental Toughness, a plastic personality trait, which determines or limits people to deal effectively with change, challenges and stressors. In today’s climate, during the Coronavirus pandemic this quality is becoming more and more valuable to individuals, teams and organisations.

Key points include the importance of individual motivation in team sports, maintaining a balance in life, and the necessity of standing out in training and matches. Guests emphasize the need for authenticity and surrounding oneself with positive influences, as well as many other great points.
Key Learning Points:
- Prioritize your own performances and progress, saying no to activities that are incompatible with your development.
- A combination of confidence and commitment characteristics can lead to optimistic and challenging goal-setting.
- To overcome fear and procrastination you could chunk down, planning goals in small steps towards your larger goals.
- Cultivate a brave and determined mindset when it comes to goal-setting, where failure is not an option.
