Marian Jelínek: Take Yourself on a Date

Success is not just about performance, numbers or external recognition. According to mental coach and university lecturer Marian Jelínek, real progress starts much closer. Inside our own inner world. In this in depth interview, he explains why the ability to work with thoughts, emotions and habits is essential and why long term success cannot exist without it.

Marian Jelínek connects elite sport, business leadership and education. At NEWTON University, he serves as the guarantor of professional programmes focused on human potential and mental performance, including the MSc in Mental Coaching in Sport and Business and the MBA in People and Talent Management
