We offer different packages tailored to the needs of trainers and coaches:

• Advanced Level (amateur and competitive sports): 6 months
• Professional Level (elite and high-performance sports): 12 months

The final exam takes place after 6 or 12 months.
However, after completing the program, you can remain in the group for an additional 6 or 12 months to deepen your experience and gain further insights and tips.

We support sports coaches, team coaches (football, volleyball, tennis, hockey, handball, etc.), physiotherapists, hobby trainers, career changers, athletic and personal trainers, scouts, and anyone who works directly with athletes (or wants to), such as mentors and consultants.

Our goal is to help you develop both yourself and your athletes into mental champions.

And if you choose, you can also build a highly profitable coaching business with us — whether full-time or alongside your current career.

All mental areas that are essential for a Sports Mental Coach are structured into clear, topic-based online courses.
You receive a personalized step-by-step guide that allows you to immediately apply what you’ve learned with your athletes and teams.

This is a highly practice-oriented training program — because nowhere else do you learn coaching better than through actively coaching yourself.

You will be supported through weekly coaching sessions, where you can ask any questions that arise during real-world implementation.

In addition, our VIP Telegram group and comprehensive course materials help you progress professionally and with high quality.
We’re here for you!

We often have participants who already bring prior experience.
You will likely come across some elements you already know. However, the majority of the exercises have been developed and refined by Christoph himself.

The components for your personal development, mental strength, as well as the marketing know-how to build your own brand and a highly profitable top-tier business are unique — and have been specifically designed and evolved over decades of experience for sports coaches.

Yes, there is an online exam. Once you have completed the courses and your required coaching sessions, you can register for one of the available exam dates.
After successfully passing, you will receive your certificate and may use the title:
Certified Sports Mental Coach (Advanced Level or Professional Level).

When booking the Advanced Level, you also have the option to take an online exam.
Thanks to our strong reputation and recognition, this certificate bearing the Kleinbeck Academy seal is a valuable proof of your expertise, quality, and professionalism — whether for clubs, employers, or your own business.

You can start the Sports Mental Coach training at the beginning of any month.
We will go through your learning plan in detail and integrate it effectively into your daily routine in a way that works best for you.

The earlier you apply, the higher your chances of securing a spot, as we only accept a limited number of new participants each month.

You have excellent opportunities across all areas of sport — whether in talent development, competitive sports, or recreational sports.
We have developed tailored concepts together with club coaches, scouts, youth academy (NLZ) coaches, and recreational sports trainers.

Physiotherapists who work only partially with athletes can also use these methods to offer effective mental support processes to their “regular” patients.

Whether the program fits you and your current situation is something we can quickly determine in a personal consultation.

It depends. There are parents who are able to maintain emotional distance and are well suited for this role.
However, in some cases it’s better for young athletes to be supported mentally by a neutral third party.

We can determine the best solution together in a personal conversation.
Our training program also specifically includes modules on coaching children and young athletes.

The training currently starts at €320 per month.

This includes all learning materials:
video learning platform, onboarding with training resources (scripts, workbooks, and theory books for each module), live coaching sessions, peer group sessions, Q&A sessions, exam eligibility, and certification.

If you would also like to learn how to build your marketing and attract clients (athletes/teams), we recommend our additional career mentoring program:
“Know-how of a Professional Entrepreneur.”
You will receive more details about this marketing program during your consultation call.

This training opens up many opportunities and career paths:

You can gradually build your own business alongside your current job. Over time, you can develop it into a full-time career as a Sports Mental Coach.

Clubs and organizations are increasingly looking for well-trained coaches and sports mental coaches to support teams and athletes mentally. You can work either as an external service provider or as an employed coach within a club or organization.

With our additional Career Mentoring program, you’ll gain marketing expertise and a step-by-step guide to building your own business.
You can learn more about this during your free consultation.

The term “coach” is not legally protected. Currently, anyone who believes they can coach others can call themselves a “coach.”
