Basics Mental Trainer new
Mental training basics/thoughts & feelings

Mental strength doesn't happen by chance - it starts when you gain a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings and learn to consciously control them. In this subject, you will receive a sound introduction to the basics of mental training and realize how closely thinking, feeling and acting are connected.


You will learn to sharpen your perception and observe mental processes more consciously: What inner dialogues are running in the background, how do automatic evaluations arise and why do they often influence mood, motivation and behavior more than the situation itself. A central focus is on recognizing these automatic thoughts and actively changing your inner dialogue so that it supports you in everyday life and training instead of blocking you.


At the same time, you will develop a better understanding of feelings and emotional dynamics. You will learn to name emotions clearly, understand their triggers and regulate them constructively - without repressing them or being controlled by them. In this way, you build up more self-management step by step and can remain more stable even in pressure situations.


The aim of the subject is to make mental patterns visible, release obstructive structures and develop new, beneficial ways of thinking - for more clarity, self-confidence and emotional stability. The subject is underpinned by scientific principles that shed light on how mental training influences well-being, performance and mental health.

You will understand which factors strengthen psychological resilience and how you can practically promote this in everyday life and in coaching.


You will work on the most important resilience factors such as optimism, self-efficacy, flexibility, problem-solving skills and emotional stability. This is not about "positive thinking", but about realistic strategies that increase inner security and the ability to act - even under pressure.

You will understand how selective perception, inner programs and beliefs shape your reality. This enables you to recognize mental patterns more quickly, deal with them more consciously and develop new, empowering perspectives.

Another focus is your impact in coaching: you will work on how to build trust and create a stable, positive atmosphere through presence, body language, energy and inner clarity.

Stress management & relaxation techniques

Stress arises in the body - and this is exactly where it can be regulated. In this subject, you will learn how stress management really works: biologically, mentally, emotionally and in a social context. You will understand how stress reactions arise, which stress axes are involved and why thoughts, inner drivers and habits often intensify the feeling of stress.


You will recognize typical stress patterns and learn to recognize warning signals early on before overload occurs. This is not just about theory, but about concrete application: You will practise effective relaxation techniques that can be used immediately in everyday life - including breathing exercises, mindfulness, PMR (progressive muscle relaxation), body scan and visualizations. This gives you tools to reduce acute tension and return to a stable state more quickly.


You will also develop long-term strategies to reduce stress in the long term. You will work on establishing routines, setting clear boundaries, setting limits and consciously planning recovery instead of leaving it to chance. This creates a practical system that remains sustainable even during intense phases.

Value profile overview
Value profile

Values are the inner navigation system: those who know their values make clearer decisions, remain more stable in difficult situations and act more coherently in the long term. In this subject, you will learn how personal values arise, why they guide behavior and how they provide orientation - especially when goals, expectations and opportunities seem to pull in different directions.


You will learn to recognize your own and others' value structures, prioritize them and make typical value conflicts visible. This will give you a better understanding of why people sometimes act "against themselves" or are unable to make a decision despite their motivation. Another focus is on making values concrete and tangible: You will work with methods to create a values profile and align it with goals, decisions and everyday actions.


This creates a clear basis for coaching processes, but also for personal development. The aim of the subject is to develop a coherent values profile, derive decisions from it and shape a value-oriented, authentic life - professionally in coaching and personally in everyday life.

Time management

Good time planning creates mental freedom: structure relieves pressure, reduces stress and strengthens your own ability to act. In this subject, you will learn how time management really works - and why not only calendars and to-do lists are crucial, but also mental patterns such as stress, perfectionism and procrastination.


You will understand how time perception arises and why many time problems are actually problems with priorities and decision-making. Building on this, you will analyze typical time wasters, set clear priorities and learn to plan tasks realistically. You will work with proven methods such as the Eisenhower Principle, the Pareto Principle and the Pomodoro Technique and apply them in such a way that they really work in everyday life - instead of just sounding good in theory.


Another focus is energy management instead of pure time management. You will learn to take performance curves and biorhythms into account, plan breaks sensibly and actively incorporate mental recovery. This creates a system that not only makes you efficient, but also keeps you stable in the long term.

You will deal with different types of goals, such as result, process and action goals, and understand when which goal structure makes sense. A central focus is the SMART method, with which you formulate concrete, measurable and realistic goals. This makes goals tangible, plannable and easier to achieve in everyday life.


You will also work with visualization techniques, reflection questions and structuring methods to turn a wish into clear next steps. You will learn to plan implementation in stages, make progress visible and stick with it - even when motivation wavers.


Another important part is dealing with setbacks. You will learn how to keep motivation stable, adjust goals flexibly and still stay on course without giving up too quickly.

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.

However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.

We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

How does the funding work?

Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. WAFF). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.

Can I take educational leave for the course?

Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.

If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.

Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.

How does educational leave work?

You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:

  • Educational leave spread over 12 months
  • split educational leave, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
  • Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years

It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.

You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a mental coach do?

After training, a mental coach can perform a variety of tasks and activities to help people improve their mental health and personal development. The range of potential clients is wide.

Individual coaching sessions can be used to work on mental strength, self-confidence or stress management. Stress management and burnout prevention are used and needed by both private and business clients.

Team coaching offers the opportunity to strengthen the collective mental strength and performance of a group. Part of the potential target group is any company that wants to strengthen team dynamics and productivity. But sports teams, music clubs and the like can also benefit from mental group training!

Where do mental trainers work?

Primarily freelance and on a self-employed basis, as an external coach for individual and team coaching, workshops and seminars or long-term support for clients. More and more often, however, there are positions for permanent employment, for example in health resorts.

Is the training sufficient for self-employment?

Yes, mental training is not subject to regulation and is therefore a free trade as long as it is carried out on healthy people. However, the training is not only suitable as an independent training course, but also as a supplement to other services, for example as a fitness and personal trainer.

Basics Mental Trainer new
Mental training basics/thoughts & feelings

Mental strength doesn't happen by chance - it starts when you gain a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings and learn to consciously control them. In this subject, you will receive a sound introduction to the basics of mental training and realize how closely thinking, feeling and acting are connected.


You will learn to sharpen your perception and observe mental processes more consciously: What inner dialogues are running in the background, how do automatic evaluations arise and why do they often influence mood, motivation and behavior more than the situation itself. A central focus is on recognizing these automatic thoughts and actively changing your inner dialogue so that it supports you in everyday life and training instead of blocking you.


At the same time, you will develop a better understanding of feelings and emotional dynamics. You will learn to name emotions clearly, understand their triggers and regulate them constructively - without repressing them or being controlled by them. In this way, you build up more self-management step by step and can remain more stable even in pressure situations.


The aim of the subject is to make mental patterns visible, release obstructive structures and develop new, beneficial ways of thinking - for more clarity, self-confidence and emotional stability.

You will understand how stress reactions arise, which stress axes are involved and why thoughts, inner drivers and habits often intensify the feeling of stress.


You will recognize typical stress patterns and learn to recognize warning signals early on before overload occurs. This is not just about theory, but about concrete application: You will practise effective relaxation techniques that can be used immediately in everyday life - including breathing exercises, mindfulness, PMR (progressive muscle relaxation), body scan and visualizations. This gives you tools to reduce acute tension and return to a stable state more quickly.


You will also develop long-term strategies to reduce stress in the long term. You will work on establishing routines, setting clear boundaries, setting limits and consciously planning recovery instead of leaving it to chance.

Value profile

Values are the inner navigation system: those who know their values make clearer decisions, remain more stable in difficult situations and act more coherently in the long term. In this subject, you will learn how personal values arise, why they guide behavior and how they provide orientation - especially when goals, expectations and opportunities seem to pull in different directions.

Good time planning creates mental freedom: structure relieves pressure, reduces stress and strengthens your own ability to act. In this subject, you will learn how time management really works - and why not only calendars and to-do lists are crucial, but also mental patterns such as stress, perfectionism and procrastination.


You will understand how time perception arises and why many time problems are actually problems with priorities and decision-making. Building on this, you will analyze typical time wasters, set clear priorities and learn to plan tasks realistically. You will work with proven methods such as the Eisenhower Principle, the Pareto Principle and the Pomodoro Technique and apply them in such a way that they really work in everyday life - instead of just sounding good in theory.

You will deal with different types of goals, such as result, process and action goals, and understand when which goal structure makes sense. A central focus is the SMART method, with which you formulate concrete, measurable and realistic goals. This makes goals tangible, plannable and easier to achieve in everyday life.


You will also work with visualization techniques, reflection questions and structuring methods to turn a wish into clear next steps. You will learn to plan implementation in stages, make progress visible and stick with it - even when motivation wavers.


Another important part is dealing with setbacks. You will learn how to keep motivation stable, adjust goals flexibly and still stay on course without giving up too quickly.

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.

However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.

We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

How does the funding work?

Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. WAFF). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.

Can I take educational leave for the course?

Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.

If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.

Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.

How does educational leave work?

You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:

  • Educational leave spread over 12 months
  • split educational leave, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
  • Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years

It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.

You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a mental coach do?

After training, a mental coach can perform a variety of tasks and activities to help people improve their mental health and personal development. The range of potential clients is wide.

Individual coaching sessions can be used to work on mental strength, self-confidence or stress management. Stress management and burnout prevention are used and needed by both private and business clients.

Team coaching offers the opportunity to strengthen the collective mental strength and performance of a group. Part of the potential target group is any company that wants to strengthen team dynamics and productivity. But sports teams, music clubs and the like can also benefit from mental group training!

Where do mental trainers work?

Primarily freelance and on a self-employed basis, as an external coach for individual and team coaching, workshops and seminars or long-term support for clients. More and more often, however, there are positions for permanent employment, for example in health resorts.

Is the training sufficient for self-employment?

Yes, mental training is not subject to regulation and is therefore a free trade as long as it is carried out on healthy people. However, the training is not only suitable as an independent training course, but also as a supplement to other services, for example as a fitness and personal trainer.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
