Freelance activities

Kiteboarding instructor

  • Are you looking for a kitesurfing instructor?
  • You have difficulties to find the rare pearl?
  • At the height of the summer season, your courses are fully booked and requests are pouring in?

Let's work together! We can help you to either find an instructor or to help you in the term course and take care of your trainees.

Mental coach

  • "It's all in the head"
  • "I had a mental breakdown"
  • "I couldn't handle the pressure."

As many sentences as an athlete or coach has ever read or heard.

After 10 years of experience in top-level sport, motivated by ambitious challenges and curious to discover new horizons, Doris Wetzel has quickly integrated the notion of mental preparation into her sports training.

Passionate about this field, she trained with Christian Ramos, https://www.appli-mental-plus.com.

She became a mental coach with the desire to push the trainees and athletes she accompanies to their highest level.

  • Want to get out of your comfort zone and push your limits?
  • Work on surpassing oneself, discovering one's best self?
  • Get to know yourself,
  • Learn to manage your emotions.

Our brains are very flexible and that's a good thing.

With tools such as dynamization, relaxation, autogenic training, internal speech, setting up routines or mental imagery, the mental trainer can train the brain and thus optimize physical and technical training.

Mental preparation allows the athlete to see the athlete as a whole. By taking into account all areas of the athlete's life, the athlete is able to better understand his or her functioning and thus accelerate the learning process.
