Fausto Donadelli
Mental Performance Coach | Sport, Executive & Life
“The mind is the main differentiator in human performance.”
I’m a mental performance coach with more than 20 years of experience helping athletes, professionals and teams manage their thoughts and emotions so they can perform at their best when it really counts. My mission is to help you build mental control, clarity and resilience, so that pressure stops being a limit and becomes a resource you can use to your advantage. I firmly believe that physical and technical preparation aren’t enough: you have to train your mind with the same dedication to improve the quality of your performance and your life.
Three areas of work
One principle applied to different settings: the mind can be trained.
Sports mental performance coaching
Athletes, young prospects, coaches and teams: performing under pressure, focus, confidence and emotions.
Executive coaching and leadership
Managers, business owners and professionals: decisions under pressure, leadership and communication.
Life coaching and personal development
Goals, decisions, limiting beliefs and recurring patterns.
Experience and approach
“Over my career I’ve worked with athletes and teams across many sports, individual and team, at national and international level, with professional clubs, young prospects and champions, to achieve significant results and build solid mental balance.”
Areas of expertise
- Handling pressure and emotions
- Performance strategies
- Focus and motivation
- Corporate and team coaching
My approach combines coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, sport psychology and advanced communication techniques. I see mental training as an ongoing process of growth, not a quick fix: it’s a commitment to who you are today and to who you want to become.

These are professional training programs. They describe my preparation: they are not healthcare licenses, they don’t guarantee results, and they don’t present techniques such as NLP, hypnosis, EFT or PSYCH-K as proven treatments.
Mental coaching is performance-focused training. It is not psychotherapy and does not replace psychological or medical care.
