With over 6 years of coaching experience and 100+ clients guided, he specializes in building focus, discipline, and resilience - the qualities that define success firstly in/ during training and later on during race (day) itself.
Martin helps athletes develop a growth mindset, handle pressure, and build lasting confidence. He equips them with practical tools to sharpen concentration, stay calm under stress, and turn daily habits into progress. Beyond the pool, Martin also coaches parents of young athletes, giving them proven strategies to support their children effectively, raising not only stronger athletes, but also resilient, confident, and kind individuals.
