Biography

Sabine has a wide and diverse variety of professional interests ranging from high performance sports to chronic pain issues, personal self-development, corporate, and educational projects.

Her innovative approach bridges the gap between clinical, health and sport psychology. She brings a unique perspective and set of skills to all of her projects, applies scientific research and proven tools, innovative technology, and transfers methodologies and knowledge across a diverse range of disciplines and projects.

She approaches everything with attention to detail and is passionate and driven to make a positive contribution to individuals and society.

Sabine was born, raised and professionally trained in Austria. She has been living and working in Scandinavia, Germany, New Zealand and is currently based on the beautiful south coast of England. Sabine's approach to all her projects is grounded in a successful career in elite-sports coaching and her knowledge and understanding of world-class performance in sports.

Her research studies in Cognitive Sport Psychology have been presented at events such as the annual European Congress of Psychology. Her list of international, high profile clients is impressive and includes Olympic athletes and multiple World Champions and her reputation in the field of elite-sports psychology led to a key consultancy role on best-selling book, 'The Winner’s Bible'. Sabine is co-author for the German Winner's Bible.

More recently she worked for the New Zealand Government’s top secret Olympic ‘GoldMine’ project which achieved record gold medal per capita success at the London 2012 Olympics and she is member of the intenational evaluation commission for the Austrian Olympic committee.
