Veronika has an MSc in Psychology, training in humanistic psychotherapy, and a degree in Sports Psychology. She works with the Austrian Society for Sports Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (ÖGSSP). From 2021 to 2023, she was a mental performance and health specialist at Red Bull, supporting athletes globally and tackling issues like performance under pressure and mental health challenges.

Coaching Philosophy

Veronika believes in leaving nothing to chance. She takes a holistic approach to mental performance. Her philosophy is grounded in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are as crucial as physical fitness. Self-care, recharging, and learning your own limits are key to this process.

Veronika starts by understanding your history, goals, and challenges. She identifies strengths and areas for improvement, creating a long-term coaching plan. You’ll work on improving your mental strength, confidence, and self-awareness.

Winning Minds: What Athletes Say

"I love working with Veronika. She is such a great person and she can always give me different points of view and suggest great solutions on every situation and aspect in my life. Thank you Veronika for all your help and I’m looking forward to work with you."

"She has helped me for many years finding joy in my sport, helping me through burnout, and making me clear about my direction and place in life outside of sport. My career would not have been the same without her - she is like my hidden superpower 🙏🏻"

"The collaboration has helped me grow both as an athlete and as a person: giving space to my inner voice and accepting a situation without needing to judge it has relieved a lot of self-imposed pressure. The inner experience is incredibly fascinating, and I believe that especially in ultrarunning, there is still a lot of potential in this mental component."
