The mental gameGuided Audio
A coach in their ears. Twelve voice-led sessions with precision-timed breathing and pauses — produced for athletes, not spa ambience.
Pick your guide
Every session comes in two voices — a female guide (warm, steady) and a male guide (deep, calm). The athlete picks once and the app remembers — switching anytime is one tap inside any session. There's no wrong choice; the right guide is the one they'll actually listen to.
Sessions play with the ring switch on silent and keep playing with the screen locked. Finishing a session counts toward winning the day.
The library, and when to reach for each
| Session | Length | Reach for it when… |
|---|---|---|
| 4-2-6 Breathing | ~3 min | Daily skill-building. This is the foundation — in for 4, hold 2, out for 6. Train at home so it's there on changeovers. |
| Pre-Match Calm | ~2 min | The car ride or the fence, when nerves arrive early. Nerves are fuel; this organizes them. |
| Pre-Match Activation | ~2 min | Sluggish morning, early match, first match after a long break. Turns the engine on. |
| Muscle Release — Quick | ~3 min | Tense day, tight shoulders, between tournament matches. |
| Muscle Release — Full | ~6 min | The night before a big match. Deep tense-and-release, whole body. |
| 5-Minute Focus Sit | 5 min | Daily focus training — the return-to-the-breath rep that becomes return-to-the-point. |
| 10-Minute Focus Sit | 10 min | The long court. For athletes ready to train attention seriously. |
| Best Match Recall | ~2 min | Confidence wobble. Rebuilds their best day in full sensory detail and bottles it as an anchor word. |
| Highlight Reel | ~2 min | The night before matches, or when doubt gets loud. Three real moments. Evidence beats fear. |
| Imagery — The Grinder | ~2 min | Tomorrow's opponent gets everything back. Rehearse patience and the post-long-rally reset. |
| Imagery — The Big Hitter | ~2 min | Tomorrow's opponent hits winners and errors in waves. Rehearse absorbing pace and staying there when the cold streak arrives. |
| Imagery — Big Points | ~2 min | Before any pressure match. The big-point script: towel, strings, exhale, target. |
A simple weekly rhythm
- Most days: 4-2-6 or a focus sit — five minutes, headphones in, eyes closed.
- Night before a match: Muscle Release (full) or Highlight Reel; add the imagery session that matches tomorrow's opponent.
- Match morning: Calm or Activation, depending on the athlete's state — the Match Day card will be pointing at it anyway.
Why the timing feels different from other apps: the breathing
gaps are engineered to the exact second — a six-second exhale is six seconds, every
time, in every session. Cadence is a feature.
