Performance Profile

You need to know your hardware to effectively manage your software. We offer a diverse selection of performance assessments that give a player the self-insight to excel at the elite level. These assessments build a profile that can be used, not only by the player, but the trainer, staff, and even family to create the high performance environment around the player. Each assessment and profile is hand crafted by our team of psychologists combining scientific and football knowledge that presents clients with a clear, practical, and actionable profile.

We partner directly with players to build and manage their high performance environment. For the player programs we work in half or full season programs while the return to sport programs can vary, but are generally six to eight weeks with the potential for follow on services. All elite programs are very limited and led by our CEO, Drs. Annemieke Griffin Zijerveld. The professional programs leverage virtual options and can be booked with our CEO or one of the StatuMentis’ psychologists. There are also youth programs available which include parental training.

Proven Impact

Discretion is one of our most important attributes as an organization and therefore the vast majority of players, teams and organizations we work with remain unknown. However, there are a few times where players. have came forward on their own or where our personnel are working publicly within a team. Some of the most notable public stories is that of our CEO, Drs. Annemieke Griffin Zijerveld working with Dutch International star Denzel Dumfries and her exploits of working with Almere City FC from their first promotion ever in club history to the Dutch Premier League, Eredivisie, to the public celebration with Rajiv Van La Parra after he scored a goal in the clubs first Eredivisie victory. The value added is immense. We are making players perform to their full potential, integrating dynamic mental systems into clubs and organizations to set elite performance environments, and exponentially increasing value. The cost of working with us is pales in comparison to the literal value added. We make the difference with bringing expert psychological, football, and military knowledge to new horizons.
