How did my interest for coaching in mental training start?

I have always been active in T&F and played rugby.

Well I started working with Soviet national teams back in early 1980s due to my unique background and it was while i was working with one of the soviet teams that I started discussing the coaching of mental training of Soviet athletes and it was then that I decided I wanted to learn all I could about mental training.

I started being coached in mental training by coaches and other soviet specialists in field of mental training.. My interest grew and my knowledge and skills in mental training increased and now 40 years have passed and I am still just as active coaching mainly elite T&F athletes in mental training.

Having worked with personal security in my younger days I have and still do coach personal protection officers in mental training. Mental training is extremely important for PPOs and unfortunately still not widely used during courses to become a PPO.

I have also coached war veterans from Afghanistan, Chechnya and even a few soldiers from the South African border wars.
However throughout the years my main goal has been and still is to coach T&F athletes to better understand the importance of their mental strength.

I enjoy coaching rugby players and fighters (boxers, MMA) and other professionals. I also coach actors and actresses, singers, dancers, fashion models, close protection officers and clients from all walks of life.
I also hold lectures/seminars about my coaching and coaching methods please see my lectures page
