I help pro athletes train the part of themselves no one ever coached, so that they can become confident in who they really are on and beyond the game.
Lives Impacted On Stage
Pro Athletes Trained
Years In Elite Basketball
As a pro athlete, you’ve trained your body. You’ve mastered your skills. But when the pressure rises, it’s your inner game that makes the difference.
Most pro athletes were never taught how to manage these moments. Without the right tools, hesitation, self-doubt, and fear take over — blocking your true potential.
I teach athletes how to reprogram their mind to quickly reset, refocus, and perform at their best no matter what happens in the game.
I help athletes train their mind to stay calm, confident, and in control under pressure, turning emotion into focused energy.
I guide athletes to redefine their identity and build a clear, confident path beyond sport using the same mindset tools that drive peak performance.
That’s why I created Mindset Fitness — mental conditioning that strengthens the muscles no one ever coached.
Every pro athlete has a strength coach. Few ever train their inner game.
With Mindset Fitness, you’ll reprogram your habits and responses so your best performance becomes your default — not frustration, hesitation, or doubt. Find out which program is right for you — Book a Free Discovery Call

You’re not done. You’re just getting started.
Kerdu helped 400 service leaders identify the “Toxic Ten” patterns that hold us back and shared how to break them to consistently show up as your best self.
Kerdu supports Estonia’s women’s national soccer team by strengthening team unity, building individual and collective confidence, and helping players believe in themselves—especially when the pressure is on.

Real stories from real clients who turned mindset shifts into game-changing results.
“Working with Kerdu gave me practical tools to stay focused under pressure and manage challenging situations with more confidence. The techniques helped me strengthen a key weakness—something that now supports me daily in my current role. I highly recommend her to anyone in a high-performance environment.”
"Working with Kerdu has been a game-changer for me. I’ve always kept my emotions bottled up and often pushed them aside, but through her Mindset Fitness approach, I’ve learned how to shift out of negative states quickly and move on from mistakes. After a tough first half with low confidence, I used one of her techniques at halftime, reset my mindset, and came back stronger—scoring my career-high in the German Bundesliga. I now use what I learned from her in games, training, and everyday life."
“Basketball is fast-paced and full of pressure, especially for coaches. Kerdu’s Mindset Fitness technique helped me focus on what matters and stay calm in moments where I used to react with tension. I recommend it to every coach.”
"Kerdu’s program gave me practical tools like visualization and self-talk that made an immediate difference. I visualized scoring before a game—and did it in the first minute. I now use these techniques in every training. Even though I’d heard of them before, Kerdu helped me actually apply them with confidence."
"Working with Kerdu and learning the Mindset Fitness techniques had a real impact on me. I started taking time for myself in the mornings to slow down and focus—something I hadn’t done before. My mornings used to feel chaotic, but this simple shift brought more calm and clarity. It also became harder to dwell on negative emotions, which helped me stay more balanced throughout the day."
