Psychology for coaches
Results pressure, dressing-room management, burnout and careers abroad. I've been part of professional technical staffs in five countries, and my PhD thesis studies migration processes and coach mental health.
I know the bench from the inside
I worked as a coach in technical staffs in Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Latvia.
I saw firsthand everything a coach has to go through day to day. Alongside that practical experience, I pushed through a PhD, while working, in which I explore the figure of the coach. My research focused on coaches' mental health and the migration processes many of them have to face, and how these can affect them.
In sessions we work on coping strategies for results pressure, emotional regulation, communication with players and sporting management, and the part that's almost never addressed: how to hold up your personal and family life while holding down a bench.

Frequently asked questions
Offers a confidential space to work on what the job doesn't allow you to show: results pressure, dressing-room management, accumulated wear, and career decisions. The goal is twofold: protecting the coach's mental health and improving how they lead their team.
Yes. The professional relationship is between the coach and me. Nothing worked on in session is shared with the club, sporting management or third parties, unless the coach themselves decides to.
Yes, online. It's a central part of my practice: I've lived through those transitions myself as part of technical staffs in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Latvia, and coaches' migration processes are the subject of my PhD thesis.
Yes. Alongside individual work with the head coach, I consult with technical staffs: diagnosing the staff, internal communication, role distribution and decision-making under pressure.
