I have learned and grown immensely as a person and a professional over the last 10+ years of training, coaching, and consulting in the field of human performance. A few key lessons from the last 10 years are driving some major changes in the way I approach my work.
The lessons:
Training resilience, mental performance, and leadership skills to individuals is POWERFUL...And not sufficient.
Leaders have an exponential impact on the resilience, performance, and well-being of their people/team...And leaders don't always know how to help (and sometimes do more harm than good)
Mental skills and concepts need to be consistently reinforced to have the biggest impact...And I can't always be the one to reinforce them
These lessons are driving some changes in the way I train, coach, and consult:
I now focus on making training accessible
...By moving a bulk of individual training to a digital platform
I now focus on making change sustainable
...By empowering and supporting sport coaches and leaders...
I figured it's about time to introduce myself.
I'm a dedicated family man and human performance professional.
I am father to two young, vibrant kiddos and husband to the one amazing, adventurous @langski.life. Together with our pup named Mogli, we enjoy getting outside as much as possible: hiking, skiing, worm hunting, and general exploring. We're getting ready to elevate our exploring this summer with the completion of our #familyadventure bus.
While I started my career as a soccer coach, I quickly learned that what I loved about coaching was the mental game. So I shifted gears and have spent the last 10 years working in sport, military, and other high-risk occupations helping individuals and teams improve their mental performance, resilience, and leadership.
I love what I do and am stoked to be sharing skills, concepts, and lessons learned with you here.
