About the Founder
Sondre Guttormsen
Olympic Pole Vaulter & Princeton Psychology Graduate
As an elite athlete competing at the highest levels, I've experienced firsthand the critical importance of mental training in athletic performance. My background in psychology and sports management drives my mission to make professional-level mental training accessible to every athlete.
Why I Built This App
After years of working with sports psychologists to improve my mental game, I realized that visualization - one of the most powerful tools in an athlete's arsenal - remains largely inaccessible and underutilized.
This app was born from my own journey and motivation to make professional-level mental training accessible to every athlete. Whether you're preparing for your first competition or competing at the Olympics, the mental game is what separates good from great.
I believe visualization is incredibly powerful yet underutilized in sports. Through this app, I want to change that - making it as common and accessible as physical training.
The Science Behind Visualization
Research in neuroscience and sports psychology consistently shows that mental rehearsal activates the same neural pathways as physical practice. When you visualize, you're literally training your brain for success.
Studies demonstrate that athletes who combine visualization with physical training see significant improvements in performance, confidence, and consistency compared to those who only train physically.
"The mind is the most powerful tool we have - yet most athletes spend 90% of their time training the body. Athlete Mindset gives you two powerful ways to train your mind: an AI coach for personalized guidance when you need it, and specialized visualizations for focused practice. Both make elite-level mental training as accessible as going to the gym."
