Focest athlete
Zen meditation is a scientifically proven method to enhance athletic performance.
Care for performance
As an athlete, you face specific goals and challenges. That demands mental training.
Research shows: when you grow stronger mentally, you also grow stronger physically.
Meditation is the most proven form of mental training. More and more athletes practice it and experience benefits such as:
- Greater focus
- More calm
- More speed
- Sharper awareness
I work with a method built on years of experience in elite sport and meditation.
Clear and effective: you train, I guide.
The result: better performance and more joy in your sport.
The Focest method
meditation
Mental training is physical training for your focus.
You may sit still, but you’re building: stress control, sharper focus, and faster recovery.
You learn to shift between action and rest — right when it counts.
implementation
What you train, you use immediately in your sport.
You learn to handle pressure in competition, recover under strain, and act decisively when stress or fatigue hits.
realisation
Mental training isn’t optional.
It sharpens your clarity under pressure, strengthens your control in critical moments, and helps you peak when it matters most.

When I rowed at the Hunze as a 15-year-old boy, Steven became our new coach. He immediately had something that distinguished him from the other coaches
I had a good experience with Steven. His coaching has helped me a lot in creating more peace in my mind! He always explained everything well and how I had to apply it, I still meditate to this day.
