Julius Duchscherer

The Confidence Course offers fascinating content and inspiring impulses for footballers and athletes that are extremely valuable in everyday life. It provides concrete tools that help to drive personal development. In the course, Julius describes situations and examples from his own experience, which makes the course approachable and the content easy to understand.
Thanks to the on-demand concept, everyone can decide for themselves how quickly they want to absorb the content, which I found particularly good.
An outstanding course that I can absolutely recommend!

I started with mental coaching in order to develop myself both as a footballer and personally. As a coach, Julius showed me methods for dealing with pressure, failure and success. I play much more freely on the pitch and can deal with mistakes better. Julius has helped me to consolidate my routines on and off the pitch. He also showed me how to give myself even more self-confidence and a better feeling on the pitch. This has improved my performance. People underestimate what mental factors can do. I have definitely achieved my goal, which is why I started. I would highly recommend working with Julius to any footballer who wants to develop mentally.

I got to know Julius in 2020. At the time, I was in the extended squad of an Oberliga club, got a few minutes here and there, but played most of the time in the second team, in the regional league. I had no confidence on the pitch, was sometimes afraid of being substituted and afraid of making mistakes.

Now, 4 years later, I'm a professional soccer player. I play more confidently, I know what I can do and I have a much better understanding of the whole mental circus that this sport entails. I'm not saying that I only made it because of Julius, there's a lot more to it than that, but to be honest, I wouldn't have made it without him. I know that no matter what happens in the future, I'm not alone and I'm still looking forward to the path that Julius and I will take together.

I made the decision to work on my mental skills in order to exploit my full potential and consistently deliver my best performance, regardless of whether the conditions are good or bad. It's also important for me as a goalkeeper to feel good and confident on the pitch in order to have a positive impact on my teammates and radiate confidence. Since working with Julius, I've built up a deeper trust in myself and my abilities, and my respect for myself has also increased enormously, because you realize how many things you've already done well and are currently doing well. On the pitch, the mental training is particularly noticeable in the area of consistency. The individually developed matchday routine with the processes and things that work well for me helps me in particular. I've also become much better in my build-up play and make clear and, above all, courageous decisions there. My focus is there for the full 90 minutes and I've been able to completely stop my attention wandering to the crowd, for example. Coaching with Julius has made me realize how important "little things" are, whether it's reading affirmations before the game, watching highlight videos or consciously putting on goalkeeper gloves. Knowing that you are not alone with your thoughts and that everyone plays the inner game in their own way helps me to deal with it better. Sharing thoughts in the calls is therefore very important to me personally.

I work in the mental area because I realized in the past how much my performance can suffer from external factors.
Thanks to mental training with Julius, I can gradually block out these negative factors and perform consistently regardless of them. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, because you can always get more out of yourself, even if you think you are already mentally strong!

I think the mental aspect plays a central role in football! For me, it was primarily about dealing with mistakes and defeats. It's important to focus fully on what's important in a game, the next action, which means there's no time to dwell on mistakes or unsuccessful actions. Confidence and self-awareness were also important for me, especially in phases when I wasn't successful. And I've already made huge progress in these areas thanks to Julius 🙏🏻

The Confidence Course (CC) is a great way for me to enter the world of mental training. Through the combination of videos and suitable documents, exercises and meditations, I was able to watch the content whenever and wherever I wanted and apply it directly and integrate it into my everyday life. The big advantage for me is that you benefit from CC not only on the pitch, but in life in general and can grow as a person and personality.

The Confidence Course has shown me that I don't have to believe everything my thoughts tell me and that I know what I can do - regardless of my performance. Mistakes on the court no longer have an impact on my self-assessment of my ability. Especially during a difficult phase in which I didn't play much, I didn't let it affect me and continued to train well. When I was needed, I was able to perform at my best and didn't let comments unsettle me, even when I was initially tense. All because I'm now aware of what I'm capable of.

I am very grateful for the Confidence Course, as I was able to take a lot from it. Both on and off the course! The content is conveyed in a compact and informative way and I think it's very cool that you have access to the course without a time limit. The worksheets and meditations helped me especially in the difficult phases and helped me a lot.

The biggest realization that the Confidence Course has shown me is that self-confidence is not something you just have or don't have. You can work on it and make progress. For me, self-confidence was always a very abstract concept, but now I know that self-confidence is ultimately the basis for any success on and off the pitch. The implementation of the course content has allowed me to grow enormously as a player and as a person and accompanies me every day. Thank you Julius for this course!

The Confidence Course has made me much more consistent and confident on the court. I'm much more confident in the game and I'm also rewarded with the goals I've set myself. I can only recommend the Confidence Course to every footballer who wants to reach the next level.

The Confidence Course has given me completely new ways of thinking and looking at many situations in soccer and in life that I didn't even know about before. The most important thing for me is that I need to look at myself more. That I compare myself with myself or my role model and not with other people. That helped me a lot and still helps me a lot now. The things that I was able to implement myself were also important to me - whether in the game or in life. Something like the method with the hand to stop getting angry and stay in the here and now. Your meditation also helped me a lot. All in all, a great help in any case. Thank you!

For me, the Confidence Course has changed my view that my self-worth is not dependent on how I play soccer. The chapter "Self-confidence in relationships" has also helped me a lot off the pitch. The quote "detach yourself from the good and bad opinions of others" has helped me a lot. Thanks to the course, I am much more often in the flow or privately much more present in the "moment" and less in my thoughts than before.

I was going through the most difficult time of my career. My self-confidence was pretty low. The 5 weeks on the Confidence Course helped me to get back up from the bottom. The self-confidence and self-awareness that I built up will help me for the rest of my life. I have also developed a lot personally.

The Confidence Course really helped me to regain my self-confidence and especially my belief in myself. After a low point, the Confidence Course strengthened me and showed me that anything is possible if you believe in yourself! The content not only helps you on the pitch, but also off the pitch, because strong self-confidence is important for many areas in life, such as university.
I am very grateful to Julius for this course and can only recommend it to everyone!

Through the Confidence Course, I have developed a greater understanding of myself and my behavior. As a result, I know what I need to feel good about myself. As a result, I feel much more self-confident.

I am very grateful, as I was able to learn very good and instructive things from the Confidence Course. Firstly, how to deal with mistakes better and secondly, how I can behave on match day and after the game to increase my chances of getting into my flow. I was also able to develop very useful routines for my everyday life. Overall, I would say that the Confidence Course helped me a lot and gave me more self-confidence.

The Confidence Course has not only positively changed my attitude in soccer, but also in everyday life. The course showed me that it's up to me how I deal with my thoughts and that it's important to keep taking a step in the right direction. I achieved this through the content and methods.

During my time as a soccer player in Germany and the USA, I have worked with many (mental) coaches - and one of them stands out for me: Julius Duchscherer.

Julius is different. Julius is holistic. And above all, Julius is one thing: human.

Because Julius doesn't (just) see you as a soccer player - he sees you as a person. With all your weaknesses and all your strengths. And in doing so, he manages to transform you and your mindset as a whole. On and off the pitch.

If you are looking for the right mental coach, then Julius is the right person for you.

Thank you for your work, Julius. Enjoy the process.

Julius is a great mentor! You can tell how he lives and loves sports mentoring. Even outside the Academy, he is always available for good advice. His videos are easy to understand and are not only fun to watch, but also really inspiring and helpful. Keep it up 😊🙏
