My first impression of Garmt is that he is straightforward in his communication and always strives to get the best out of a situation. He doesn’t beat around the bush, and you know exactly what to expect from him, which is very comforting for me.

He has helped me believe in myself and thereby bring out the best in me. Instead of a one-way street, we thought together about what worked best for me. I always felt it was a true collaboration where my own input was valued.

Thanks to that approach, I was able to excel at multiple Grand Slams—like in Japan, where I stood on the podium as the only European judoka. He guided me to the world top: the top 10 in my weight class.

The atmosphere within the collaboration always felt relaxed to me. There was room for a joke here and there, even during the hard work.

If you are considering collaborating with Katalyst Performance, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. You can count on a coach who thinks ahead, listens to your wishes, and with whom you always know where you stand.
