    After the free consultation, I then went on to have my highest scoring game in the semi-finals of my playoffs. I had put his tips and focus training into immediate action. A couple weeks later, my team progressed into the finals, he even offered help but I said no, still high of my best game I felt unstoppable. I had one of the worst games I had ever played and my team lost badly. With a lot on the line and a big crowd watching I scored 0 points, missing open layups, passing open shots and looking for the easy option and my head was running wild all over the place. Once things started to go wrong in the first few minutes of the game I went down a deep spiral of negative thoughts and emotions. After that performance, I decided to book Joar’s sessions as I came to a harsh realization that it was going to take some work and dedication to fix my issues.

    Having completed the course now, Joar is a true professional with a brilliant depth of knowledge. He has helped my focus on the court tremendously and introduced practices that are now a part of my everyday life. I am not an offensive superstar (yet;)) but through what we discussed I have become a lot more efficient. My performance has definitely improved but more importantly my mindset on the bad days, I am able to catch these bad thoughts and dismiss them. I am able to recognise situations that will affect me mentally and as a result easily be free of negative thoughts and emotions which keeps me on track. I am able to still be aggressive and shoot the shots I should be taking by staying focused on values that we created.

    When I started with Joar 4 months ago I was at a level of frustration with my training and competitions that I was considering retirement. I expected my body to perform whether it was ready for the abuse or not; which led to constantly injuring myself. We came up with a structured plan that not only keeps me from injuring myself, but has improved my performance immensely. With these values in place I know I will be able to continue competing as long as I want!

    In 2021 I reached my best peak performance in Esports yet. That year I worked hella hard, non-stop grind. And when 2022 came, I slowly crashed. I have no idea where my problems came from, How or What they are. It all felt weird to me, I was so used to seeing myself as this unstoppable beast. After several months of occasional suffering, I realized I couldn't help myself anymore. So I searched for help. And then I found Joar. He helped me identify what my problems were in detail. Our sessions helped me understand myself more as a person. To not just grind my game, but also myself. I had some areas in my mental & emotional spectrum that I needed to grow more of. He taught me how to regain focus whenever I keep on having negative thoughts, and he taught me new perspectives of how I see my games. All our sessions, trainings & simply being heard by someone who has a large knowledge of what goes on. Slowly, I started regaining my confidence again in-game. And I can now deal with my thoughts and emotions better than ever. Thank you Joar.

    We started working with Joar in early 2022 as our sport psychology consultant. He has helped us create a better and more sustainable workplace. Joar has given us the tools to exercise a different type of management then normally used in this industry. We have had group sessions/workshops with different themes like: work/life balance, well-being, motivation, performance and team work. And we can see a clear link to improved performance and good teamwork. Joar has very good knowledge about how restaurants of high level operate and understands the struggles we often face so his knowledge combined with his huge interest makes him great to collaborate with. We are looking forward to the continued collaboration and can only give our highest recommendations to all restaurants.

    The workshop with Joar was fantastic. He was very well prepared and explained everything in an interesting way. In a high end kitchen it is a lot of pressure to keep up with the standards and give exceptional experience to guests day by day. This can be hard for the employes, and as a leader it is your responsibility to create a healthy working environment. Everyone can be motivated by different things. The workshop helped to understand the importance of paying attention to psychology side of handling people. It is extra important to have a motivated and happy team, because only then your guests will be happy as well.

    We liked the workshop as it captured everyone’s curiosity and everybody got a moment to reflect as the workshop inspired many ideas to apply in our everyday operations.
