Being mentally strong and believing in yourself is essential to perform well. But sometimes you’re stuck, the drive is just not there and you don’t feel your power. Doubts then quickly emerge and you lose the overview and the focus. The flow disappears. The pressure from the outside and the feeling of responsibility are getting bigger and bigger. The pressure of performance increases. The fear of losing, failing or getting injured is real. The financial uncertainty is present…
You can be confronted with many challenges as an athlete. The pressure can be so enormous that at times it is difficult to deliver the desired top performance and meet the expectations (of yourself, your fans, your team or your sponsors). And then there is still your private life. There as well, a certain pressure can result in uncertainty or loss of concentration. Therefore you might not always have your emotions under control, both before and during the game.
We make the difference by obtaining and maintaining stability under any circumstances. To reach that goal we have developed a unique model; the FACTS model.
To achieve this, you need to work hard. You have to push your boundaries, which often cause sacrifices to be inevitable. Nothing is too much to achieve the highest level. The body is trained to the limit. Physical trainers are a must if you want to reach the top and stay there. Only the best nutritional advice is good enough. A top athlete is surrounded by the best people, who are all specialists in their own field. This is a necessity if you want to be and remain a winner in a ruthless competition that top sport is.
We fight for every ball, every meter, every second. The opponent is often just as trained, just as strong, just as fast. What then determines who wins?
The difference between a winner and a loser, between gold or silver, is often in your head. The mental battle is an invisible but necessary struggle that ultimately makes the difference. A strong mental balance is just what an athlete needs to win.
The experienced mental coaches of Peak Performance Europe are up-to-date with the research on the functioning of the brain and apply different scientific techniques. We work on the physical, mental and emotional flow, commitment and visualization, maintaining focus, learning mental strategies and much more, so that you as a top athlete are much stronger on a mental level than your competitor.

At Peak Performance Europe we have the vision and drive to support athletes to achieve the mental fitness and focus needed to perform optimally in all conditions. Creating balance and the perfect symbiosis between physical performance and mental flow is crucial to really get into the “zone” and stay there, no matter what happens or how the opportunities may change. So that the athlete can easily maintain control and overview under all circumstances.
