Due to its sensational experiences & results in the Atacama Desert, at Mount Everest and the Lycian Way, as well as the positive feedback on his article serie "mental training in practice" in the German RUNNING magazine, the sports psychologist Michele Ufer was asked repeatedly to give a seminar on Sports Mental Training for Runners. Here it is!

Your Benefit

The seminar is exactly the approach where all the threads come together, where our movements are controlled, where our feelings and thoughts arise that - always and in miliseconds- have a direct impact on our athletic performance and well-being. Your brain. Even sports medicins now see the brain as THE power-limiting factor in endurance. The good news: you can also train your "brain muscle". And that's exactly what we will do.
