It was the beginning of the snowboard season and I was touring Japan's indoor snowboard parks for my sponsor Rome. Unfortunately a tiny jump gone wrong and I had totalled my knee and was facing a year of rehab.
I moved to San Diego U.S. to rehab my knee at one of the world's best physical therapy center
B Project. While there I realised I had developed fears from getting injured again. So I decided to talk to a shrink (sport psychologist). This turned out to be one of the best investments I'v ever made.
In the past 15 years I've since studied sport psychology and trained as a licensed NLP Trainer (Neuro Linguistic Programming). I actively use various coaches myself from sports psychologists to high performance trainers, world's best physical therapists and business coaches to improve my own mental skills as an athlete, coach, father and entrepreneur. I've also had the wonderful opportunity to work with and learn from some of worlds best athletes from Olympic medalists to X-Games winners and US Open Champions.
In 2014 I wrote
Pro Mental Game book I've learned from world's best mental performance experts to share the best mental techniques so you can perform like a boss.
