Success belongs to those who dare to take new paths.
In elite sports, the margin between good and great is razor-thin. Talent is everywhere—but what sets champions apart is the courage to break routine, the will to push limits, and the mindset to grow beyond what’s familiar.

Ask yourself honestly: are you ready to think differently and train differently?
If the answer is no, there’s no need to read on. Use your time to fine-tune your technique or get some rest.

But if something in you says yes—welcome. This might just change everything.

To illustrate the significance of mental strength: Sport is decided 70% in the mind, 28% by physical condition, and only 2% by technique. Yet, 99% of amateur athletes focus 100% of their efforts on improving technique.

I admit, this calculation may seem a bit exaggerated. Nevertheless, it remains undeniable that major decisions and competitions are won in the mind. Nowadays, practically all athletes are more or less fully trained technically and physically. Of course, there are still differences in technical perfection or physical fitness among exceptional individuals. However, I am referring to the most essential dimension of success (assuming the technical and physical foundations have been laid), which most athletes tend to overlook. Forgotten? Suppressed? Or simply ignored out of ignorance? The mental game!

THE FOUNDER OF WINNERS MIND

Thomas Zerlauth

... is a pioneer in mental training for elite sports. Over 35 years ago, when the focus on "mental training in sports" was almost taboo in Europe, he was already recognized as a leading figure in mental coaching for athletes. Many mental trainers today follow his system "Sport in State of Excellence."
