"I believe that every player who wants to build a great career should invest and work on their mental preparation, especially young players like myself. Of course, experience comes with age, but in today’s football, where everything moves so fast, any extra edge means a few percent boost to your overall performance—which is often the deciding factor."
"To step onto the field and face an opponent, our minds must be ready for battle first. Physical training is essential, but perhaps even more important is the less visible kind - mental training. I have seen firsthand that victory doesn’t just go to those who are stronger, faster, or have more endurance, but to those who are mentally prepared and keep moving forward regardless of the circumstances. Mentalni Trening guides us in the right way, reminding us to believe and to push through even when things aren't going the way we want."
Experiences according to profile
"In life, as well as in sports, working on yourself plays an important role. That is why I find mental preparation valuable in certain key situations. I would recommend Mentalni Trening - not to everyone, but to those who truly want to work on themselves and become better."

"I believe that every professional athlete should apply mental training - the sooner, the better. Sports have become a business where only the best survive, so athletes often need help putting all the pieces together in their heads, helping them bring out the best in themselves during both the tough times and the normal moments of their careers. I am very satisfied with my work and experience here because it gives me the opportunity to gather my thoughts, separate the important from the irrelevant, and ultimately perform at my absolute maximum."

"My son had a problem with losing focus in crucial moments of matches. After three months of working with Lin, the difference is visible to both the coach and us. Not only on the field — he is calmer at home too."
"My daughter was talented, but she would "block" in tournaments. I say — block. Mental training gave her tools that work even when we weren't there to cheer her on."
"We didn't know how to encourage him without too much pressure. Now we have a common language for it. I recommend it to any parent whose child is serious about training."
"Children in sports go through things that we parents are not prepared for. Here we received not only help for our daughter, but also guidance for us."
"The only thing I was worried about was whether my daughter would even want to go. She went, she loved it, and she continues to ask for dates herself. That says it all."
"We weren't sure if it was too early for a 13-year-old. It wasn't. The psychologist immediately "caught" where the real problem was, and they started working on it."
Parents of young athletes most often choose the Children in Sport program, adapted for ages 10–16.
Futsal Dinamo
Professional futsal club · Zagreb
"We introduced cooperation with Mentalni Trening as part of the club's pre-season preparation. Players came out of bad periods of form faster and got back into rhythm better. The cooperation is structured, not ad hoc — that was key for us."
Coerver Coaching Croatia
Academy for the development of young players
"Luka did workshops with our players and coaches — much more practical than we expected. It wasn't a lecture, it was a real workshop with concrete tools. We included it in the annual program."
RK Maksimir
Handball club · Zagreb
"We worked on mental preparation before the playoffs. The individual approach to each player is what surprised us — we didn't get the same sessions for everyone, but rather an adaptation to each player's problem."
Basic Gym One
Gym and sports center
"Our clients are mostly recreational athletes who still have serious goals — marathons, triathlons, powerlifting competitions. Working with MT has helped us add a psychological dimension to training that otherwise remains purely physical."
Collaboration with clubs and organizations takes place through club programs, workshops, and long-term seasonal support.
About Practicum
"The Practicum gave me a structure that I didn't have from my college education. I learned how to turn theory into concrete work with an athlete in a session."
"As a coach, I didn't know how to approach mental preparation without "psychotizing" the players. The Practicum gave me concrete tools that I can use every day in training."
"I knew the theory, but I didn't know the application to a sports context. The Practicum bridged that gap — and now I work with younger athletes with full confidence."
"What surprised me: how quickly you can see the difference. I applied a focus technique with the team and within a week the coach told me that the guys were different in the games."
"Luka teaches like someone who has actually done it, not just read about it. That's rare in education and you can feel it at every Practicum meeting."
"Every Practicum cycle brings something new. This is my second time and again I leave with a full notebook. I recommend it to all coaches who understand that sport is not just physical."

Želim pohvaliti i Sanju i Doru koje su svaki slajd upotpunile s brojnim iskustvima iz vlastitog rada i spremno odgovarale na sva naša pitanja. Sve pohvale za tim iz Mentalnog treninga i moje preporuke svima koje zanima sportska psihologija.Objavljeno na Google Matej ZrnoTrustindex provjerava je li izvorni izvor recenzije Google.

Sanja uvijek prepoznaje pravi trenutak za topli ljudski razgovor ili pak za podučavanje raznim alatima mentalnog treninga. Uz sav profesionalizam, radi se o izrazito dobrim ljudima koji su upoznati s problemima kojima se suočavaju sportaši u duhu ovog „novog” vremena.Objavljeno na Google Tara LipovacTrustindex provjerava je li izvorni izvor recenzije Google. Praktikum za psihologe bio je jedno odlično iskustvo. Sanja i Dora su nam na jednostavan i zanimljiv način približile rad sa raznim sportašima pričajući o svojim brojim iskustvima. Uz dobru atmosferu, čak i u online obliku edukacije, mogli smo postavljati hrpetinu pitanja i vježbati različite tehnike koje one koriste sa svojim sportaštima, tako da sam naučila jako puno i znam da će mi sve to biti korisno u budućem radu. Definitivno bih preporučila MT praktikum za psihologe svim studentima psihologije koji žele znati nešto više o sportskoj psihologiji jer je ovo sigurno odličan korak u tom smjeru! :)Objavljeno na Google Tamara MilenkovićTrustindex provjerava je li izvorni izvor recenzije Google.
