Why "Carsten Oldengaard - Mental Coach"

I’ve worked as a mental coach in elite sport for nearly 20 years. During that time, I’ve met countless athletes who struggle to unlock their full potential – especially when it really matters. That affects me deeply. Everyone deserves the chance to realise their potential, but too often, they fall short because of a lack of mental skills.

Under pressure, many athletes lose focus, speak negatively to themselves, lose direction and control over processes and goals.

They simply lack the tools and training to handle pressure, get into flow, and access their full capacity when it matters. So they can perform at their best – exactly when they need to.

Sport is my home ground. It’s where I’ve met athletes, coaches and clubs who want more. Not just better results – but more resilience, more willpower, more mental strength.

But mental strength doesn’t come naturally. It must be trained. And it must be trained where it is used: on the pitch, in matches, under pressure. That has always been one of my guiding principles.

Yes, athletes grow mentally during conversations – but they become mentally stronger by training mental tools and tasks on the field.

Over the years, I’ve developed a set of tools and methods that have proven effective. I’ve worked with athletes who went on to win medals at European Championships, World Championships, the Olympics, and even the Champions League.
