Taking education to the next level – with Sports Psychology Training
Dr. Peter Kotzurek, Basel
„Before I decided to enroll in this training program, I did some research and consistently received positive feedback about it from renowned specialists in this field in Switzerland and Germany. The training period was incredibly enriching for me and broadened my personal horizons. As a professional coach in competitive sports who has spent more than 25 years in the gym and has always tried to push the personal limits with his athletes in artistic gymnastics, the training period provided a real eye-opener. Although I always tried to incorporate the mental level alongside the physical abilities and prerequisites of the athletes, I was unfortunately never consistent enough to follow this through to the very end of preparation for a major event. The “devil” would always pop into my head, saying: no time for such “nonsense”. I was greatly enriched by the highly practice-oriented lectures and the discussions with participants from other sports. It is good to look beyond one’s own horizon and change one’s perspective. The resulting network should not be underestimated either and consistently sets new milestones in my professional career. The practical game formats that we were introduced to during the training helped me make my sports lessons more interesting as a teacher at a regular secondary school, and even encouraged children uninterested in sports to exercise and reflect on their physical activity and eating habits. Ultimately, the sum of all my experiences has led to my current position as Head of Youth and Adult Sports for the Canton of Basel-Landschaft / Switzerland, where I lead a team of 4 employees and manage the affairs of the entire canton. By reflecting on my own leadership behavior, I am able to lead and MOTIVATE my team efficiently. The effort and return of the training in Innsbruck are in perfect harmony, and I can only encourage anyone who wants to engage with this topic to take on this training. It is worth it!"

„When I completed the 'Sports Psychology' module series, I was already working with professional athletes. So for me, this training was a perfection, as one would say in dancing. What made the module series special was the perfect mix of theory and practice, as well as the great diversity offered by the different lecturers. The focus was always on sports psychology and mental training, but the practical approaches were widely diversified. I successfully implement many exercises '1:1' in my daily coaching routine, while others I have adapted and remodeled. I benefited greatly from the individual modules and took a big step forward in my personal development."

The training provides an excellent overview and is a professional update for anyone who has already established a foothold in the field of counseling; however, it can also be attended as an introduction to this area."
