Every player has something that affects his performance. There is no such thing as playing at your best every day, and nobody plays that way. These are the most common reasons why.
Hour 6 is not hour 1, and day 12 of a series is not day 1. Fatigue accumulates, and almost nobody plans for it.
One short night changes your decisions the next day. A week of them changes your month.
Your internal clock stays on the old schedule. The tournament starts anyway.
Tilt does not get eliminated. It gets managed, and that takes practice.
Confidence is not one thing you have or do not have. You trust yourself in some spots and not in others.
You know the play. Knowing it and finding it at the table are different things.
A series month and a quiet month look the same. Neither one is used well.
You decide what to play as it arrives, so the calendar decides for you.
It is the only certain event of the year, and almost nobody has a plan written in advance.
We start with a conversation to understand your main challenges and the areas where we can improve.
From there we build a work plan. Your week, your study, and your preparation for the month or the series ahead.
Session by session I add the tools you need, so that you have them ready before the difficult moment arrives, not during it.
What you commit to, and what we measure. Session by session we review the plan and we adjust it to the progress you made.

See the stable offerThe most valuable part is that he helps me plan each individual trip — morning, day and evening routines for the days I'm playing — so I stay focused and in a good mindset through these tiring stops, and perform at my best consistently.
Working with him I've improved my relationship with myself and others. I'm grateful and proud to have him in my corner, and consider him a friend and an ally.
From the very beginning he had a way of seeing straight through me, patterns, beliefs and blocks I hadn't realized were there, and helped me bring them into the light. What sets him apart is his intuition, presence and genuine investment.
I've been working with Alan for more than four years. When we met I was already a skilled player, moving from mid to high-stakes online — but being 'good' simply wasn't enough for me. The biggest transformation has been how I've structured my life outside the tables: optimizing my routines to consistently deliver my best in the sessions. For me, Alan is the ultimate reference when it comes to peak performance.
I started with esports players in Latin America and moved into poker in 2020. I am not a player. My work is the other part of the job: the long sessions, the variance, the thinking that does not stop after a bad session, the way results decide how you feel about your own game. Performance coach, psychologist by training.
