The first session is your performance deep-dive. We’ll explore your goals, competitive environment, current challenges, and mental strengths – getting clear on what drives you and what’s holding you back. It’s also where we build trust and set the tone: a focused, supportive space built for growth. Together, we’ll map out a tailored plan designed to enhance your mindset, unlock consistency, and drive long-term success.

This varies. Some individuals experience positive changes within 3–4 sessions, while others benefit from sustained work over a season. Like physical training, mental training is most effective when consistent.

Typically, sessions are weekly to begin with. We may then space them out depending on goals, competition schedules, or preferred intensity.
