The Elite Performance Agency

To hell with circumstances
we create opportunities

Who We Are

StatuMentis was created from a drive to redefine how high performers think, train, and compete. At the elite level, an athlete’s body and technical ability are as finely tuned as a Formula 1 race car — but true excellence demands that the mind be calibrated with the same precision.

We combine decades of experience across psychology, professional football, and the military to bring the most dynamic form of mental performance support in the world. Our methods fuse scientific insight with battle-tested execution, translating psychological knowledge into practical tools that operate at the speed of competition.

This is not about mental health — it’s about mental excellence. We build clarity under pressure, adaptability in chaos, and confidence in execution.

From elite players and professional clubs to global agencies and corporate partners, we help those who compete in high-performance environments to think sharper, recover faster, and lead stronger.

“Fighters always win” is more than a motto — it’s a mindset. We bring that fighter spirit to every player, every team, and every organization we stand beside.

We work globally with teams and players

StatuMentis Leadership

Drs. Annemieke Griffin
Chief Executive Officer

Annemieke holds a doctorate in grief and stress psychology and began her career working with combat veterans battling PTSD and parents coping with loss. Her deep expertise in the human stress response evolved into a passion for applying that knowledge to performance behavior in elite sport. Over the past 15 years, she has built a reputation as one of football’s leading experts in performance behavior — translating clinical psychology into tools that operate at the speed of competition.

At StatuMentis, Annemieke’s approach bridges the gap between science and sport. She works with players, coaches, and clubs worldwide to optimize behavioral performance, build mental resilience, and create elite performance environments. From individual player development to organizational behavior systems, she integrates psychological precision with the tactical and emotional demands of modern football.

Christian Griffin
Chief Operating Officer

Christian is a former U.S. Army Major and graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Across a 16-year career, he served more than 33 months in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan — leading teams under the most demanding conditions. His later years with NATO saw him coordinating multinational operations during the withdrawal from Afghanistan and advising senior leadership at the onset of the war in Ukraine.

At StatuMentis, Christian applies his operational experience to the systems, structure, and delivery of performance behavior programs. His leadership background and understanding of high-pressure environments shape the company’s approach to adaptability, discipline, and teamwork. By merging combat-tested performance systems with elite sport, he ensures StatuMentis operates with precision, clarity, and purpose at every level.

Partnerships

At StatuMentis, partnerships are more than collaborations — they are integrations. We embed performance behavior systems into organizations to create measurable, sustainable impact. Each partnership is customized to the specific operational and cultural needs of the organization, combining psychological expertise, football intelligence, and military precision to elevate performance at every level.

⚽ Club Partnerships

We work directly with clubs to build and maintain elite performance environments. From individual player programs to cross-functional staff integration, we align technical, medical, and performance departments to operate with shared clarity and intent. Partnerships can range from access to weekly player program slots to full immersion with a StatuMentis agent embedded within the club. Educational workshops, leadership development, and culture-building initiatives can be layered as needed to strengthen long-term performance behavior systems.

🤝 Agency Partnerships

For agencies, we extend the care and structure around each player by managing their performance behavior and communication flow across their ecosystem. Our goal is to help agencies increase the value, consistency, and professionalism of their portfolio. We align with agents on player monitoring, development planning, and crisis prevention, ensuring clear communication between the player, their club, and their support network. StatuMentis acts as a strategic extension of the agency — protecting performance and maximizing return.

🎓 Academy Partnerships

We partner with academies to integrate performance behavior education and training from the earliest stages of development. Our programs strengthen player identity, focus, and resilience, helping academies produce not just talented athletes but mentally grounded professionals. Through workshops, screenings, and long-term mentorship structures, we help align academy methodology with elite performance standards.

🏆 Federation Partnerships

National and regional federations partner with StatuMentis to establish consistent performance behavior frameworks across teams and programs. We support federations in staff education, coach development, and performance culture alignment from youth to senior levels. Our consultation focuses on building systems that enhance communication, leadership, and adaptability across the entire football ecosystem.

💼 Corporate Partnerships

Outside of sport, StatuMentis brings elite performance behavior systems to businesses and organizations seeking to develop high-performing teams and leaders. We adapt our models from football and military operations into workshops and strategic programs that improve culture, resilience, and execution under pressure. The same systems that drive success on the pitch can transform performance in the boardroom.

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.
