Athlete's Experiences

“Last months I followed Level 1, 2 and 3 of Fortitude. After a challenging time, I wanted to work on myself again. Despite not having any military experience, I was looking for something more tough than all typical mindfullness courses you can find nowadays. Mostly I liked the combination of theory and application. There were nice challenges that put my skills and mindset to my limits. I now feel I have grown and developed a lot personally and I feel ready to meet life and it's challenges with more courage.”
