So, who am I?
My name is Alan Longo, and as a performance psychologist from Argentina, I specialize in guiding competitive poker players to excel under pressure. My focus is on the high-stakes poker world, where I help professionals move beyond temporary fixes to build the robust mental and strategic frameworks required for a sustainable, long-term career in the game. My work addresses a critical challenge many players face: the invisible patterns I call "Performance Holdbacks"—the mental, routine, and strategic barriers that prevent them from consistently playing their best poker.
Drawing on nearly five years of dedicated experience coaching poker professionals, my work is centered on creating comprehensive, systematic approaches that integrate powerful mental foundations with practical, professional structures. This includes everything from designing effective performance routines to building full-cycle competition systems that manage energy and focus across multi-day tournaments. I partner with players to develop personalized systems for emotional regulation, strategic planning, and performance consistency, ensuring they can navigate the intense demands of the game and maintain their edge.
My unique perspective is fortified by an extensive and diverse educational background. My foundation includes more than a decade of experience in human resources, where I developed deep expertise in communication strategies and interpersonal dynamics. This decade-long immersion gave me a unique understanding of the human element behind professional development, a skill I now apply to the high-stakes world. I further honed my skills with advanced studies at the prestigious Emotional Intelligence Academy and the Innovation Hub of Football Club Barcelona, blending scientific principles of psychology with proven strategies from the world of elite sports performance.
I am known for an honest, transparent, and ambitious approach, and I make it a priority to foster genuine partnerships with my clients. My practice is defined by an unwavering commitment to excellence, helping players build the resilience and structure needed to thrive in the demanding world of professional poker. Ultimately, my mission is to empower you with a clear, evidence-based roadmap, providing the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of the game, build lasting resilience, and achieve your highest professional aspirations.
