Resilience coaching course
The amount of coaches and personal trainers has massively increased over the past couple of years. Each one of these coaches and trainers has accumulated their qualifications in their field. They have knowledge about training modalities, recovery methods, nutrition, what-have-you. So you need to stand out from the rest. You need to provide your clients with better results. Better performance. But how to do that when you already covered all the basics?
Let’s think about what makes high level performers so great to find the missing link. High level performers tend to possess a mindset that is making them stand out from the rest. They possess a champions’ mindset. This mindset can be cultivated and it can be taught.
How do you coach your athletes to achieve the highest level possible? How do you bring them from average/good to exceptional?
My mission is to teach you exactly that!
The Resilience Coaching Course is designed to walk you through on how to use sport and performance psychology to bring your coaching to the next level.
"High level performance is created by the relentless pursuit for improvement. The high level performer might not train, eat or sleep different than their competition. But they think, feel
and act different."
Patrick Meier
Hi, my name is Patrick Meier and I am a sport and performance psychologist who made it his mission to help as many athletes as possible to improve their performance. In the past 3+ years I have worked with 100+ athletes across Europe, some of them being among the best of the best in their respective sports.
Throughout that process I have picked up many secrets about how the high level athlete ticks, what their specific challenges are and how to help them improve performance, overcome adversity and become an overall more resilient version of themselves.
I was shocked to find out that there is no education that teaches strength coaches how to use sport and performance psychology to improve their clients’ performance, confidence and wellbeing.
So I created one myself that does exactly that!
This is how the Resilience Coaching Course was born.
