Kevin Mettler, a former professional gymnast and now certified OvertimeAthlete Performance Coach, is passionate about supporting athletes in reaching their full potential in their chosen sports [[1](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/mental-health-in-athletes/)]. His journey began with an early career in gymnastics, but a series of injuries forced him to take a different path as a software developer and entrepreneur. However, his love for sports and his inner athlete never faded.

In 2015, Kevin returned to the world of athletics as a gymnastics coach, driven by a desire to help others succeed using the lessons he had learned from his own experiences. As a coach, he emphasizes the importance of mental focus and resilience, allowing athletes to tackle challenges head-on without being hindered by external factors [[1](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/mental-health-in-athletes/)].

Kevin believes in the power of simplicity and realism in training, drawing from his time as a software developer to create effective, uncomplicated strategies for success. As both a sensitive and empathetic individual, he strives to combine the best aspects of his personal and professional experiences to become the optimal performance coach for his athletes.
