Making of a champion advanced competition coaching program

Fed up with the ‘set goals’ and ‘think positive’ coaching advice? This progressive structured program will take you further in 4 weeks than any other program you have tried combined. That’s the power of hyper-specialised support.

Tailored to your context

Although following a solid framework, the detailed content of the program is tailored to your specific competition context and builds the practices accordingly. By the 4th week, you’ll have a custom strategy that keeps you together under pressure, an optimised training routine that speeds up your muscle memory formation, and a grip on your combat stress to increase your responsiveness in competition.

Strength based approach

The purpose of this program is to restructure your strengths and resources, and refine the technical, social, and personal components you have in the game to get better results for your efforts. Heavy topics occasionally come up, as fights are sourced from the deeper layer of the brain and therefore linked to and can trigger certain deep subjects.

Includes analysis and action

The 4-week program flows through a series of steps. Starting from understanding your competition history, motivators, and invisible mental makeup. Followed by the review and adjustment of your training structure, drill patterns, and competition routine. Finally arriving at a tailored plan on how to proceed with utilising your strengths and making up for the missing pieces.

You might have found bits and pieces that seemed to bring gold, but all changed in the next round, and you just can’t pin down where to put the effort to get steady results.

You’re usually doing well in competitions, but everything leaves your body in high-stakes fights, and none of the things you’ve tried could move the needle towards winning the big ones.

Training for years, reading, meditating, watching interviews with champs and knowing all the motivational speeches by heart, yet winning doesn’t seem to come to you.

Week 1 - Mapping

The week starts with a foundational conversation about past competition experiences, the challenges faced and insights gained from prior tournament experiences.

We’ll talk about your current training and competition preparation routine, the available resources, and the internal and external motivators that impact your game.

The process continues after the session, the findings are shared and discussed via a dedicated digital platform. In the upcoming sessions, we will address the pieces that were identified during this work.

Week 2 - Planning

We’ll dig deeper into the technical-psychological side of things and discuss the ways in which your brain learns and drives your body into certain direction in response to an invasion/attack. With particular focus on muscle memory formation and the specialities of combat stress versus performance stress.

Your training plan will be discussed in great detail, and the outcome will involve re-designing drills to support skill retention. Safety exercises will be introduced and a training hierarchy for competitions will be established.

This phase contains a wide variety of informational materials, including readings and exercises that span the week and require active engagement. You’ll be provided with full access to The Brain & Combat handbook to have the necessary information.

Week 3 - Building

We analyse your competition patterns and the changes when transitioning from training to competition. We’ll be discussing the variations in performance across different stakes and start to build your custom toolkit to manage the competition environment, physiological changes and different opponent types.

Before the session, it is necessary to provide video references on both a variety of past competitions, and regular sparring (if available). Your coach will conduct the analysis before the session using the videos sent and discuss the findings during the session.

Week 4 - Delivering

With the comprehensive understanding of your circumstances, mental and physical design and competition history, in the last session we’ll finalise your personalised competition preparation plan. The strategy will include both short-term, long-term, and on-the-spot methods. Where needed, further resources and support will be recommended.

The strategy will be subject to testing during the last week, with direct feedback exchange between you and your coach happening through the dedicated digital platform.

On-demand - Refining

Further sessions can be held to consolidate and refine the preparation strategy and follow up on the experience.

By this time, the change built up during the past weeks will already begin to show and the improvements will be evident in a more dominant game, faster response, longer resistance, and more fluid fighting style.

Forget the one-size-fits-all solutions and general coaching lines that just repeat what you have already found with a basic Google search.

With a cutting-edge research background and progressive methods, this hyper-personalised program brings together the components of winning and builds your path to championship.

Support makes champions. The only thing standing between you and winning is the right help.

Highest quality coaching tools.

Forget the ‘What kind of garlic bread are you’ quizzes. Your mental design will be discussed using tools from academic resilience research to see what you have in the game and how to make it winning.

Targets the core aspects of winning.

The exercises are selected and tailored to target areas that fundamentally impact your competition outcome, including patterns, blind spots, interpersonal dynamics, emotion/stress management and adjustments to your training routine.

Immediate and rolling results.

The improvements delivered by the program show immediately and represents fundamental changes. Resulting in a steady increase in your win rate, ultimately leading to the realisation of your competition goals.

The weekly sessions are held via video calls (unless otherwise agreed), while between-session discussions are held on a dedicated digital platform.

The program can be posed at any point if rest or incubation time needed. The sessions may be resumed later or discontinued with a refund on a pro rata basis.
