Mental performance is no coincidence: focus, concentration and memory can be developed in a targeted manner - if you understand how the brain works.

Building on this, you will learn proven methods for improving attention and learning, e.g. chunking, spaced repetition and simple focus routines with a timer structure. You will also work with mindfulness exercises that can support mental clarity and the ability to concentrate.
Another focus is the influence of the body and nervous system on mental performance: you will recognize how breathing, meditation and movement can influence mental performance - for example through stress regulation, activation and the ability to recover. This teaches you to look at focus not just "mentally", but holistically.
You will also take a critical look at nootropics: what is realistic, what is marketing, and what are the limits and risks in a coaching context? The aim is to evaluate mental strategies in an evidence-based way and to support clients responsibly.
At the end, you will have a scientific basis and practical tools to strengthen mental clarity and learning ability in a targeted manner.
