GO THE EXTRA MILE

With Focus, Grit and Clarity

I coach people, teams, and founders through challenge, change, and growth, when life speeds up, pressure builds, or something deeper calls.

With the mindset of an ultra runner and the tools of mental performance coaching, I bring structure, clarity, and calm to help you move forward with intention and resilience.

From Corporate Pressure to Desert Ultras – I’ve Been in the Arena

I'm Christina – your Extra Mile Coach. With a Master of Science in Mental Strength from the Austrian Sports University and certification as a Systemic Constellation Coach, my approach is grounded in science and shaped by experience.

For nearly 20 years, I led high-performing teams at Red Bull, Adidas, and in tech. Then, I took everything I knew about pressure, mindset, and performance into the desert, running ultramarathons and training like an athlete. The mental tools I used to endure are the same ones I teach today.

This isn’t just coaching. It’s evidence-based. Field-tested. And built for your real world.
