Over the past decade playing professional volleyball across Europe and on the U.S. National Team, one truth has become crystal clear to me:

🏐 The difference isn’t always in skill. It’s in mindset.

I’ve shared the court with Olympians, champions, and underdogs turned stars — and the ones who rise consistently under pressure all have one thing in common: a strong, trained mental game.

That’s why I’m hosting a special 45-minute Mental Toughness Webinar on Sunday, August 3 at 20:00 Berlin time (1:00 PM EST), where I’ll pass on the best mental tools I’ve learned through my journey — from long-shot walk-on to pro, from the national team gym to global competition.

Whether you're a player, coach, or competitor in another field, this session will help you strengthen what I call your inner edge — the ability to show up calm, clear, and clutch when it matters most.

Here’s what I’ll be covering:

🧠 A practical framework for mental toughness, grounded in both sports psychology and real-world application — the five P’s form my custom framework...
🟢 How to stay in a “green light” state under pressure — and avoid slipping into hesitation, doubt, or negative self-talk.
🔄 Trainable tools you can start using right away to build resilience, regulate nerves, and stay grounded no matter the outcome.
❓ Live Q&A — bring your questions and I’ll answer them personally at the end.

This is a ticketed event, and spots are limited to keep it interactive. If you can’t join live, you’ll still get the recording — but the Q&A is only for live attendees.

🎟️ Price: $27
🕗 When: Sunday, August 3 at 20:00 CEST (Berlin) / 1:00 PM EST
📍 Where: Zoom (link sent after registration)

👉 Reserve your seat now

I built my career on curiosity, resilience, and a relentless commitment to learning. I hope you’ll join me to strengthen your own mental game — and walk away with strategies you’ll use for the rest of your playing (or coaching) life.

See you there,
