Realize your personal goals

Mentoring

- What are your personal mountain goals, visions and what would you like to achieve? Let me help you excel.

Johanna Stålnacke


I would like to help you excel as a mountain athlete and be apart of your progression. Being an athlete for all of my life, competing in both alpine skiing, gymnastics and climbing on a high level, and then fulfilling my own goal to become a certified IFMGA Mountainguide has given me valuable tools to how to approach our goals in an efficient and mindful way. As a professional skier and climber, I continue to pursue my own goals in the mountains alongside guiding and I’d like to help you fulfill yours!

I take great pleasure in coaching people on how they can progress both physically and also mentally. I think the mindset is extremely important for every athlete and no matter your objective. Alongside preparing the body and physique by training right, by setting up sub targets, etc managing our mind and the mental preparation is as important - if not even more.

I have worked alongside some of the best sports- and mental coaches on my own journey of development, and thanks to their help I have realized many of my own “big hairy” goals that sometimes intimidated me at first, but that became reality with the right preparations and determination.

Maybe you want to progress as a free skier, perhaps do Freeride comps or ski bigger lines? Want to climb El Capitan or any other big mountain? Maybe you dream of becoming a Mountain guide or ski/climbing instructor? What are your goals and ambitions? I can help you on your way.

Junior or senior - I work with all age groups, men and women, girls and boys!

Let’s have a chat
