be walking away
with.

Realising your competition goals
Nothing like I tried before

“I've changed my mind on a lot of topics and got to understand why they didn't work and never could work. Right at the next competition, I marched to the gold so swiftly that I couldn't believe it was me. I won't stop until I'm at the top.”

Luis Lucando

BJJ fighter

Put me on the right track

“I finally could crack this mental prep topic. I just didn't get it from those cryptic interviews and articles on mentality. They said nothing to me. I needed practical advice on what to do exactly and how. Couldn't be happier with the course.”

Ron Jones

MMA fighter

Biggest upgrade of my fight carrier

“I loved every section and the illustrations, they were so different and real. It's only a month into my new approach, and I already have been noticed. I got a new belt and a lot of questions about what changed. Hey, buddy, a lot!”

Mara Gablino

MMA fighter
