YOUR CERTIFIED BREATHWORK COACH

ABOUT ME

As an expert in breathwork, I work with athletes at every level - from youth players chasing their dream, to pro players including teams such as Gotham FC, Bayern Munich, Bournemouth FC and others.

When I sit down with elite academy coaches from clubs like Orlando City, New York Red Bulls, or Borussia Dortmund, they all confirm the same truth: talent only takes you so far. What they truly look for in players is mental toughness, emotional control, and the ability to stay focused and concentrated even under pressure.

Here’s the part most overlook: The way you breathe influences the way you think, feel and perform. Why? Because it's the direct link to your nervous system and therefore the fastest, most measurable way to shift your performance from performance anxiety and overthinking to clarity and consistency. "A strong mindset starts with great breathing"

STEFAN PETER, Mental Performance Coach

I wanted to learn breathwork because I’ve been interested in sports psychology for a long time and had already been introduced to some breathing techniques. But through the 21 day Breathwork Program, I realized just how many areas of my life it can benefit! For me, it’s important to keep developing and to have tools that support my athletic career—helping me squeeze out those extra few percent. Through the program, I was able to practice many new techniques, easily integrate new routines into my daily life, and discover what works best for me. It became much easier thanks to the 1:1 guidance and the tools provided to track my progress and check in with myself. Emotionally and mentally, it helps me calm down, activate before games and training, regulate myself in challenging situations, and stay fully centered. I’m very grateful to have these tools on hand. They don’t require much effort, they become part of my routine, and they truly support me moving forward!

BREATHING... KINDA SIMPLE RIGHT?

"Not really! Truth is 87.5% of athletes get it wrong. And the crazy part? Dysfunctional breathing costs your legs power, your mind focus and your emotions balance. It's a bit like shooting on your own goal without knowing it.”

3 WELL KNOWN MENTAL CHALLENGES

Game Readiness

Lack of Focus

Too many players need 5–6 minutes to mentally arrive in the game. Their mind is scattered - they make “silly” mistakes and react instead of act. 83% of scouts pay close attention to how quickly you lose focus or get distracted.

Gassing out early

What if I told you weak breathing muscles could be the reason for burning legs and muscle cramps at the end of games?

  • When the diaphragm fatigues, blood is redirected from your legs, and your sprint speed collapses.
  • Late in the 85th minute, it’s not just oxygen or lactic acid slowing you down-it’s weak breathing muscles, low CO₂ tolerance, and your nervous system forcing your brain to hit the brakes.

Overthinking - Emotional Rollercoaster

Pressure can keep you in fight-or-flight mode, unable to recover or perform consistently.

 

  • Jittery before kickoff - wasting energy

  • Emotional after mistakes - overreacting instead of staying calm and focused

  • Restless after games - overthinking instead of sleeping

     

"But even sluggishness or too little positive tension before a game can cost you your optimal performance. Over time, it creates inconsistency that kills careers."

The weekly breathwork helps me a lot on and off the pitch, to improve my focus and concentration but also to become more vocal and confident on the ball.
