. Applied Neuroscience, Sports Psychology, and Strategic Coaching is not an add-on, it's a necessity for any athlete aiming for excellence.
A high-performance mindset allows you to compete at the highest level without being held back by fear or pressure.
1. NEUROOPTIMIZATION: Applied Neuropsychology for Performance
Assessment and training of critical executive functions (attentional focus, inhibition, cognitive flexibility) to enhance brain efficiency under pressure.
Implementation of neurofunctional activation protocols and individualized cognitive stimulation to foster neuroplasticity and sustained high performance.
2. ADVANCED MENTAL REHABILITATION: Sports Injury Psychology
Psychological intervention during critical injury phases to prevent emotional sequelae, sports disconnection, or motivational setbacks.
Reconstruction of self-confidence and reconnection with competitive purpose during physical inactivity, facilitating a solid and mentally prepared return.
3. PRESSURE ENGINEERING: Emotional Regulation and Stress Management
Systematic training to transform competitive stress into focus, energy, and emotional mastery, even in extremely demanding environments.
Development of autonomic and emotional regulation strategies to achieve optimal activation states before, during, and after competition.
Optimization of game reading, anticipation, and decision-making speed and accuracy in highly complex scenarios.
Design of mental training simulations that reproduce real pressure, cognitive fatigue, and adverse situations to build athletes prepared for the unpredictable.
5. MENTAL IDENTITY ARCHITECTURE: Inner Dialogue and Self-Efficacy
Reprogramming of internal dialogue to replace limiting automatisms with functional, empowering, and assertive self-instructions.
Consolidation of a strong psychological identity based not on outcomes, but on internal values, personal mastery, and long-term vision.
6. COMPETITION PSYCHOLOGICAL STRATEGY: Integral Mental Preparation
Personalized design of pre-, during-, and post-competition mental routines that promote focus, confidence, and emotional stability.
Integration of advanced techniques such as strategic visualization, sensory anchors, micro-activations, and execution scripts.
7. HIGH-IMPACT TRANSITIONS: Psychological Adaptation to New Stages
Strategic support during key transition moments (new teams, categories, countries, coaches, or competitive roles) to ensure conscious and solid integration.
Deep work on identity, belonging, and purpose to reduce emotional impact, anticipate resistance, and foster fast, functional, and goal-aligned adjustment.
Mental Health in Elite SportsTHE GREAT UNRESOLVED ISSUE
While athletes are admired as symbols of strength, behind performance often lies an invisible struggle with pressure, identity, and psychological balance..
High performance is not built on muscle and technique alone: it requires a healthy, trained, and sustained mind.
Key Psychological Challenges in High-Level Athletes:
Difficult Transitions
Team, country, category, or coaching changes that disrupt emotional stability and athletic identity.
Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms
Often silenced due to fear of appearing weak or losing opportunities.
Burnout and Chronic Mental Fatigue
Accumulation of stress without emotional release or true psychological recovery spaces.
Eating Disorders
Extreme control over the body as a way to manage pressure or compensate for lack of control in other areas.
Emotional Aftermath of Injuries or Failures
Loss of identity, fear of the future, performance blocks, or unresolved trauma.
Extreme Perfectionism and Fear of Mistakes
Hypervigilant, rigid, and self-demanding minds that hinder flow and enjoyment in sport.
Self-Esteem Tied to Performance
Feeling worthy only when winning, performing, or meeting external expectations.
The line between the impossible and the possible is drawn by your determination.
Available online, in-person at my office in Oviedo, or with the possibility of on-site sessions.

Iván es un profesional increíble. Desde la primera sesión, me hizo sentir súper cómoda y comprendida. Sabe escuchar y captar lo que realmente necesitaba como nadie. En mi caso, mi principal objetivo era aprender a manejar mejor el estrés y mejorar mi descanso, y aunque eso lo logramos, me ha ayudado con mucho más. Lo que más le agradezco es que me ha enseñado a verme y a ver la vida desde una nueva perspectiva. Siento que he tenido un cambio enorme en mi vida. Iván es único.

Iván me ha ayudado muchísimo. He aprendido en poco tiempo a organizarme sin agobiarme y a cuidar de mi salud, ¡sin sentirme culpable por no hacerlo todo perfecto!. Ahora tengo una rutina que realmente me funciona y me siento mucho mejor conmigo misma. Es un gran apoyo y se nota que le importo de verdad. Nunca he tenido un coach y no sabía si realmente me iba a poder ayudar, y todo un acierto contratarle. un 10 como profesional y como persona de apoyo.

Methodology: The Science Behind High Performance
Success in sports isn’t about luck— it’s the result of mental training grounded in Applied Neuroscience, Sports Psychology, and Strategic Coaching .
My approach targets the neurocognitive and psychophysical mechanisms that drive performance, ensuring real and sustainable change.
1. Assessment & Diagnosis: The Starting Point
Every athlete has unique needs and challenges. The first step is to analyze their neuropsychological profile and competitive mindsetto design an effective intervention plan.
- Evaluation of neurocognitive profile and competitive mindset using specialized tools.
- dentification of mental blocks and limiting patterns that affect decision-making and execution under pressure.
- Analysis of psychophysiological responses to stress and competition, assessing emotional regulation and recovery capacity.
With this information, we create a mental map of the athlete, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
2. Applied Neuroscience for Performance: Mental Reprogramming
The brain is adaptable. We use advanced techniques to strengthen neural connections, improve decision-making, and optimize
emotional control.
- Neuroplasticity Stimulation: Strengthening neural pathways to enhance learning, stress adaptation, and emotional control in competition.
- Neural Circuit Modulation: Targeting mental patterns to reshape automatic responses that impact focus and performance.
- Cognitive Process Optimization: Enhancing attention, working memory, processing speed, and decision-making.
- Psychophysical Regulation: Applying techniques to balance mind and body, optimizing energy, recovery, and overall well-being.
3. Advanced Techniques in Action: Mental Training in Practice
To create deep and lasting change, I use a set of advanced tools that train the brain, adjust behavioral patterns, and sharpen competitive mindset.
- Neurofeedback: Real-time brain activity monitoring to improve cognitive and emotional control.
- Personalized Cognitive Stimulation: Specific exercises to boost focus, reaction time, and mental sharpness.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Techniques to shift limiting beliefs and build strong self-confidence.
- Mindfulness & Neuroscientific Meditation: Evidence-based methods to reduce stress, speed up mental recovery, and enhance attentional control.
- Visualization & Mental Programming: Mental imagery techniques to improve execution, decision-making, and self-trust.
- Cognitive Restructuring Techniques: Reframing limiting thoughts and building a confident mindset.
- Psychophysical Interventions: Strategies to strengthen the mind-body connection, accelerate recovery, and improve effort perception.
4. Consolidation & Optimization of Mental Performance
Mental training must be sustainable and adaptable throughout an athlete’s career. In this phase, we reinforce the progress made and apply strategies to consolidate long-term change.
- Reinforcement of mental and emotional habits to ensure performance stability.
- Strategic adjustments based on progress and competitive demands.
- Stress regulation and decision-making under pressure.
The goal is not only to reach an optimal mental state, but to maintain and adapt it as the sport evolves and the athlete grows.
