– Marius Olsen, Consultant
- “What really stood out to me about working with Peter was how different his methods were from what I had experienced earlier with a typical psychiatrist. His sessions were never boring, and I always left with something valuable that kept me motivated. Every session felt like a step forward, and I could feel myself growing not just as a player, but as a person.
Peter’s approach to coaching opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking.
The methods he used, like visualization and setting concrete goals, were completely new to me. It wasn’t just about playing better, it was about developing a better mindset to elevate my game. He gave me powerful homework tasks, such as writing a diary and truly reflecting on my goals. Writing things down really made me think deeply about how to achieve those goals and gave me a clear roadmap. It was exactly what I needed to push myself from being good to the best. Peter has truly helped me unlock a level of potential I didn’t even know I had.”
– Syver Saxrud, Esports Player
Elite athletes
- “Working with Peter has been and continues to be incredibly rewarding. First and foremost, he adapts to your situation and takes the time to understand how you are feeling. I play golf at a high level, and even though Peter initially didn’t have a deep understanding of golf, he took the initiative to learn about it so he could help me in the best possible way. Furthermore, his close follow-up and availability outside regular sessions have been invaluable. I live abroad half the year, which comes with an inconvenient time difference, but Peter has always been solution-oriented, and we’ve collaborated seamlessly. Through our work together, I’ve reached a new level. I’ve truly explored myself and discovered the values that are important to me. Peter has given me tools I can use both on and off the golf course to achieve my goals. A man who truly knows his craft!”
