Client's Story: First European Champs

13d ago (edited) in 🏅Wins

Since we got a lot of IM-ers in the MindGym I thought I share another one from the summer.

This was a pressure cooker!!!

had trained well all season but this summer was going to be different: He qualified for the 2024 Summer European Championships in Belgrade.

That was a big breakthrough for Gian-Luca Gartmann. And at the same time... It seemed scary.

As the big race got closer, doubt and insecurity crept in...

We mostly worked on his breathing, not freaking out during taper when something didn't go as planned, and visualization.

He then went to Belgrade and crushed it at his first Euro Champs. So happy for him and he continues to perform great.

We'll hopefully see him on TV at the World Champs in Singapore in the summer 2025 🚀😃

Here are all his PBs:

And that's his personal website if you're curious:
