“They pay me to be strong – mentally and physically. So how can I even admit to harbouring the fears that are holding me back?”
As a professional athlete working on the international circuit for 15 years, I asked myself this question any number of times.
But, what if we could turn that around, and use the power of these emotions positively? And so I gained a degree in psychology and completed courses in transformational coaching. Today I practice as a Sport Achievement Coach.
Now, I offer you an hour in confidence, for free and without commitment.
21 years
I represented Colombia in our National Volleyball Team from age 15 to 36.
15 years
My 15 year career as a pro athlete took me to play in countries like Italy, the United States, Thailand, Spain, France, Germany, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Switzerland.
I help pro athletes achieve, by discovering
where
their fears come from
why
the emotion is there, and
how
to work with and through it, while continuously
improving performance

stigma & stereotype
I am here to build a world where pro athletes can openly talk about their fears without the stigma or the stereotype that they need to be perfect and unstoppable.
Excellent professional Athlete and Coach
Lorena is sweet, sincere, and ready to help anyone.
Gabriella Vico
My goal is to increase
awareness
about fear and how to
cope
with it instead of trying to fight it, while supporting athletes to achieve their optimal
performance
Lorena made me understand so much about myself, my possibilities, my strengths and how to work on my mistakes of the past to avoid them in the future.
Strongly recommended!

I am here for you
Let me know how I can help you. The simplest thing is to book a free introductory call directly in my diary at a time to suit you.
Not ready for that yet or have queries? Send me a message.
Either way, I look forward to meeting you working with you, and to cheering your future sport achievement.
Always wonder why your exceptional skills in practice seem to take an unexpected hiatus when it comes to the real deal on the field?
Ever find yourself questioning if you're truly capable, right before a crucial game or competition?
Are the members of your team great individually, but need to gain mental strength and coordination in a team context?
At times have you felt that subtle but persistent fear creeping in before a big match, making you question your own abilities just moments before the whistle blows?
What is coaching?
First of all: I will say what it isn’t – I’m not like a team coach, I won’t be setting you an exercise regime. And nor is my coaching like therapy. I don’t start from the assumption that you have a problem or look for a diagnosis in your past.
I will work with you to find your inner mental strengths and maximise them. Together, we will discover what is holding you back. And thirdly, we find ways that you can use this awareness and those emotions positively to improve your game – and then improve it more.
There may be insights, there will certainly be work, and there will be results that will apply not only to your sports career but to your whole outlook on life.
