About Me
Welcome to the stoic athlete
The Stoic Athlete was founded by Dan Witzer in 2020, a Lecturer in Sport Psychology and Sports Performance Psychologist with over 4 years experience. We work with both professional and amateur athletes, supporting them to take their mental performance to the next level.
Our approach is influenced by the works of Carl Roger’s Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) and Martin Seligman’s Positive Psychotherapy. Placing you the person at the centre of everything we do, and supporting you to not only perform better, but feel better!

OUR APPROACH
We adopt an approach driven by sport psychology research and scientifically proven methods to support athletes designed to be engaging, accessible and impactful.
Our job is to provide you with the techniques, tools and self-belief to no longer feel like you need us! Our aim is to provide you the foundation to take the lessons from our work into your life in a self-maintaining way – not try to rinse you for every Pound in your pocket!
Like physical skills, mental skills also require training, you did not excel in your sport overnight – and your mindset won’t either. We adopt a colloborative approach to support you to get closer to fulfilling your potential.
- Person-Centred
- Strength-Focused
- Action-Oriented
