This autumn a new program will begin.
"The Athlete" is a six-month program designed to strengthen the participant’s mental health, capacity, and ability to perform. The program provides a thorough introduction to mental training and practical tools through both in-person and digital sessions, as well as insights into the sports club’s approach to performance and culture building.
Universal principles
Although the program has its origins in the sports world, the principles are universal. "The Performer" is relevant for anyone who wants to improve their performance over time, regardless of field of interest, age, and profession.
As Bjørn Mannsverk points out: "We don't believe in mental miracles - change is achieved through action and individual work."
Gunn Elisabeth Håbjørg elaborates: "Our main goal is twofold: To improve the participant's performance and optimize their personal development. To achieve this, we always start by building a solid foundation - what we call the participant's power to carry. This is essential because it gives the participant strength and stability to handle challenges and growth. Only when this foundation is in place we can focus on personal growth and performance optimization. This is a demanding program. The participant is the performer and must take responsibility for their own development. Our role, as coaches, is to provide them with the tools, support, and guidance they need to succeed. We are here to support them throughout the process, but it is the participant who must do the work and take the necessary steps to achieve their goals".
"Are you ready to take the step towards better performance?
The program includes:
Thorough introduction to mental training and practical tools through physical and digital gatherings.
Knowledge about the Glimt's work with performances and culture building.
Personal follow-up through one-on-one conversations.
Systematic training over time for lasting changes and practical exercises for everyday integration.
Follow-up conversation three months after program completion.
