Our success stories
former Estonian discus thrower, Olympic and world champion
"The 10-day program was interesting and skill-building. Consistently confronting myself with discomfort taught me to ignore distractions in stressful situations. Practicing a new technique helped me significantly strengthen one of my previous weaknesses. Using the learned technique helped me deepen my confidence in unpleasant situations. Now I can more consciously ignore distractions and focus on the end result. I recommend it to anyone who encounters challenging situations and goals on a daily basis that require constant focus and self-push."
Former head coach of the Estonian men's national basketball team
"Basketball is a very tactical and extremely fast game. A coach needs to make many decisions during the game. The STOP technique helps to focus on the right things during the game. It helped me change how I react in high-pressure moments. I stayed calm and composed in situations where I would have acted nervously before. I recommend it to every coach!"
Head of B2B ICT Solutions Delivery and Operations at Telia
"In my opinion, the topic of self-resistance is very important and would actually help all people to become more aware of themselves and to develop the ability to overcome their fears, but it could especially benefit managers who have bigger projects, decisions and responsibilities and who could further help their people as well. I think, that with this training you will learn to observe and notice yourself and others, and therefore you will be able to behave more consciously in the following situations."
professional basketball player
"I’ve always been a closed-off person with emotions, often suppressing them. The STOP technique has been a game-changer, helping me quickly shift out of bad emotions and leave past mistakes behind. Recently, after a rough first half in a game, I wasn’t feeling confident. Normally, that would’ve affected the entire game, but at halftime, I used the STOP technique, reset my mindset, and came back stronger—scoring my career-high in the German league. I’ll keep using this technique in games, practices, and beyond."
Jaanika Rannula
Participant in the Äripäev Koolituskonverents
"Kerdu was a good communicator, meaningful and practical. A good reminder to pat yourself on the back from time to time and say thank you! It's especially nice that you came to me during the break and continued the topic. What an attentiveness!"
professional basketball player
"Through Mindset Fitness, I learned tools that has helped me during free throws to let my muscle memory take over. In just two games, I’ve made 15/13 free throws! I also began taking time for myself in the mornings to focus calmly instead of rushing through chaotic starts. STOP technique has helped me let go of negative emotions more easily and stay focused both on and off the court."
Combat Ready CEO
"I was already quite aware before the training, but it consolidated previously known knowledge from a different angle. Every person needs to make decisions, and this method tells how to structure disconnection from emotions. Emotional decisions are never good decisions. I especially liked the hands-on approach and trial and error, which created a deeper understanding of how to consolidate and structure my own techniques. The personal story through the athlete's point of view added value."
professional basketball player/president of Haapsalu Herilased
"Mindset Fitness training is very useful for young people, helping to develop the ability to think at an early age. The training teaches you to manage and control your thoughts and emotions. The story of the light and dark dog was particularly memorable, which can help change the way of thinking."
professional soccer player
"Mindset Fitness has so many amazing tools to use. I would especially highlight visualization, self-talk, and meditation. For example, before my last game, I visualized different ways to score a goal, and I ended up scoring in the first minute. It’s definitely something that started working immediately. I use self-talk in every training and game. Even though I had heard about many of these things before, the program helped reinforce them. There were definitely things I didn’t know before. It’s incredible what has been put together, and it’s useful for anyone! You don’t have to be an elite athlete, but the earlier you start, the better."
Margus Maidla
Ministry of Finance
"The most useful topic of the training for me was the STOP technique, which helped me become more aware of the need to stop negative thoughts and reactions. I found the technique to be effective and the trainer's explanations were clear enough to understand the topics"
Birgit
Stebby
"I practiced the STOP technique consistently every morning, and it helped me stay calm in difficult communication situations. I find the technique very effective and efficient, and I definitely plan to continue using it."
professional basketball player
"Mindset Fitness helps me move forward faster and more efficiently, without getting stuck in negative thoughts. It gives me the opportunity to calm down, notice my progress, and focus on what's important. Because of that I feel calmer, more confident in difficult situations, and I'm better able to implement the necessary decisions."
Top executive, entrepreneur
"Understanding self-obstacle and self-analysis based on it is very useful not only in management, but in every area of life. It allows managers to better understand employees and gives one additional tool to help their team find areas for development. Through self-analysis, I discovered how I can simply increase my efficiency and I found a topic that I didn't realize existed for a long time. As a quick decision maker, I have taken more time than usual to make a decision for myself. Instead of simply trusting the opinion of experts and moving forward based on it in many workshops. The Self-Resistance workshop opened up the opportunity to look inside yourself instead of just giving a large amount of knowledge without the ability to use it in practice."
