Voor wie is de Milo Mentorship bedoeld?

Voor sporters, atleten en opkomende talenten die zowel fysiek als mentaal willen groeien. Je hoeft geen topsporter te zijn: het traject wordt opgebouwd rond jouw niveau, jouw sport en jouw doelen.

Hoe lang duurt het traject?

De Milo Mentorship is een traject van zes maanden. Die duur is bewust gekozen: kracht, mentale fitheid en betere gewoontes hebben tijd nodig om te beklijven.

Wat houdt ACT-coaching precies in?

ACT staat voor Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Je leert omgaan met spanning, twijfel en tegenslag zonder dat die je koers bepalen, en je leert handelen vanuit wat voor jou echt belangrijk is. In de praktijk maakt dat je rustiger onder druk en consistenter in je training.

Wat kan ik verwachten van breathwork?

Ademwerk gebruiken we om je herstel te versnellen en je zenuwstelsel te reguleren. Je leert ademtechnieken die je voor een wedstrijd inzet om te focussen, en na een zware inspanning of stressvolle dag om terug te schakelen.

Moet ik al ervaring hebben met krachttraining?

Nee. We beginnen bij techniek en opbouw, ongeacht je startpunt. Heb je al jaren ervaring, dan ligt de nadruk op sportspecifieke belasting en periodisering in plaats van op de basis.

Coach Milo - The Milo Method

ACT coaching

You often know what you want. Yet you put off that conversation, overthink a decision or fall back into the same pattern under pressure. Not because you lack insight, but because doubt, tension or the expectations of others determine how you act in that moment.

ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Within my coaching, we use this method in a very practical way. You learn not to suppress difficult thoughts and feelings or feel the need to analyse them completely first. Instead, you learn to recognise them more clearly, make space for them and choose more consciously how you want to act. This is known as psychological flexibility: continuing to do what truly matters to you, especially when life or a particular situation is not going as you wish.

I am Milo, an accredited ACT coach based in Amsterdam. Together, we identify the patterns that keep you stuck and translate insight into action. At work, in sport and in everyday life. Rather than waiting for doubt to disappear, you learn to act while allowing it to be there.

How does ACT coaching work?

We start with an intake and a flexibility index test. This allows us to map out the challenges you are currently facing, which situations keep recurring, and how you react when things get difficult or uncomfortable. Do you continue to act in line with what you value, or do you fall into patterns of avoidance, procrastination, self-neglect, or a need for control?

After that, we work with concrete situations from your life. What happened? What thoughts and feelings came up? What did you do next? And did that behavior bring you closer to, or further away from, the person, professional, or athlete you want to be? You will learn to notice thoughts without automatically following them, to allow tension without letting it guide you, and to bring your attention back to the present moment. At the same time, we explore what is truly important to you and translate that into an achievable next step.

A session lasts approximately 75 minutes. We usually meet every 2 to 3 weeks, so you have time to practice in real-life situations in between. Because real change does not just happen during our conversations, but especially in those moments when you would normally fall back into your old patterns.

Dealing with stress and performance pressure

You do not need to feel calm, confident, or motivated before you start taking action. It is perfectly normal to feel nervous before a presentation, a difficult conversation, or an important competition.

The question is not how to make that tension disappear entirely, but how you want to act when it arises. For athletes, this might mean returning to your task more quickly after a mistake, learning to handle performance pressure differently, or no longer letting perfectionism dictate every training session.

Whenever possible, we practice this around training and performance moments. This could involve a set routine, a focus point between sets, or a specific task performed while fatigued. At work or in daily life, it might be about setting boundaries, making a choice, giving feedback, or stopping procrastination. You will learn to notice your automatic reactions sooner and create a brief moment where you can choose how to respond.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ACT?

ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. You learn to accept thoughts and feelings without them automatically determining your actions. The goal is not to be positive or relaxed all the time, but to continue acting in accordance with what you find important.

What can ACT coaching help with?

ACT coaching can be suitable if you are struggling with overthinking, perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, stress, or performance pressure. It can also help with making choices, setting boundaries, and changing behavior that you know no longer works for you.

What does an ACT coaching program look like?

We start with an intake and the flexibility index test. After that, we work during each session on concrete situations and skills that match your needs. Between sessions, you apply these in your daily life. A program usually consists of 6 to 8 sessions, but for a specific, well-defined issue, fewer sessions may be sufficient.

Is ACT coaching also relevant for athletes?

Yes. ACT can help you deal differently with performance pressure, mistakes, doubt, and distraction. You will learn to bring your focus back to your task and act according to your plan, even when tension is present.

What is the difference between ACT and a psychologist?

ACT coaching focuses on concrete goals, skills, and choices in the here and now and for the future. It is not a diagnostic process or treatment for mental health conditions. For serious, persistent, or unsafe symptoms, a GP or qualified healthcare professional is the appropriate route.

How much does ACT coaching cost?

A single session of approximately 75 minutes costs €175.

A program of 6 to 8 sessions costs a total of €1,050 to €1,400.

After the intake, we will discuss which format best suits your needs.
