Your game, put into a system
Your Mental Foundation
Five sessions on the mental side of your game. For ambitious amateur players who play worse in matches than in training.
Five sessions on the mental side of your game. For ambitious amateur players who play worse in matches than in training.
You play great in training. You hit the ball cleanly, you move well, you make good decisions.
Then match day comes. The pressure rises, and suddenly you're a different player. You get nervous and tense. You make more mistakes and play either too safe or too aggressively. You throw away a lead you should have closed out. Your partner gets irritated, and your opponents can feel it. They start playing on you.
It is a mental pattern, and patterns can change. Once you understand what is happening and how you can act on it.
I help you understand what happens inside the mind when the pressure rises — and act the way you know you're capable of on the court.
It is the part of the game most players have never trained.
Most players are told to relax and enjoy it when the pressure rises. That rarely changes anything. We work differently: first we put words to what happens in you when it gets tight. Then we work out what you want to do instead. For that we use two tools: the lighthouse, which is your mission and your values, and the Crossroads Model. I have not found that combination anywhere else in mental coaching for padel players.
Session 1 is an introduction: what mental training does, and how we work with it. You get a first taste of the lighthouse, and we set your score: where you stand in matches under pressure today, and where you want to go.
You learn what mental training does, and how we work with it throughout the program. You get a first taste of the lighthouse. We set your score for how you play in matches under pressure: where you are now, and where you want to go.
We clarify what drives you, and what your values are as a player. These are essential for building the foundation for strong performance. Crossroads Mapping.
We find the moments in a match where you fall back into the old version of yourself. For each of them we make a plan for what you do instead, based on your mission and your values. This is the core of the program.
You get concrete tools, so you stick to the plan, even when things get difficult and the pressure rises.
We take your score again. Where is the difference? What has worked? We design your Mission 2.0: who have I become as an athlete — and your plan going forward.
No risk. Try Session 1. If you think afterwards that the program is not right for you, you get all your money back. You only need to show up and do your best.
No other coach in Denmark has competed at that level and also developed other players to do the same. The combination with a certified mental coach through DIF is unique. Now I work with it together with you.
You've made a huge difference to my game and my mental approach. I've come so far since training with you.
Lotte HougaardI take on a maximum of two players at a time. Every session is with me personally — there is no room for more. Sessions can be held in English or Danish.
Paid for by your employer? Your Mental Foundation develops mental resilience, decision-making under pressure, and structured self-leadership — skills that extend far beyond the padel court. Many companies cover this type of program as employee development or personal development. The program can also be included in a salary sacrifice scheme (bruttolønsordning), which effectively reduces your investment by 30–50% through pre-tax salary restructuring. Talk to your HR department or employer — we're happy to provide documentation of the program's structure and skills focus.
With your level and what you experience under pressure.
To see if the program fits your situation.
The moment you're accepted, Session 1 is scheduled within two weeks.
In that session, we don't look at your technique. We look at what's happening inside you when the pressure rises — your patterns, your reactions, your values. That conversation is where the foundation begins.
