Does this Sound familiar?
You're not alone.
Old patterns keep repeating — the double faults, blaming conditions, losing momentum when the match gets tight.
You know you’re better than what shows up under pressure, yet something invisible still holds you back
In the biggest points, your breath turns shallow, your body feels tight, and your mind starts to race.
Nerves, self-doubt, and frustration hijack your rhythm and confidence.
You train hard — hours on court and in the gym — yet feel unprepared when the match gets emotional and high-stakes.
You don't need anyone to tell you to relax, or focus, or stay positive. You've heard all of it, read the mental tips, but what you really need is a skill and foundation on internal game you can trust - the skill to return to presence and your game.
🎯 What this gives you
A practical breathwork & visualization designed for competitive tennis players who want a solid foundation for handling nerves and stress — without adding hours of theory.
No long theory.
No overthinking.
No complicated psychology.
Just simple, match-ready tools you can practice, repeat, and rely on:
breathing that calms your body and sharpens your mind
resets that help you recover quickly after mistakes
focus practices that bring you back into the present moment
a clear pathway to build your Inner Game foundation
Tools you can use between points, on changeovers, in pressure moments — and just as powerfully off the court to reset, and bring balance into daily life.
And let me be honest with you about the promise, because most of the internal game world isn't.
You will not stay calm for two hours. Nobody does. You will still get angry, still get tight, still have the moment where it all falls away.
The difference between players isn't whether they lose presence. It's how long they stay lost.
Three points instead of three games. That's the whole match, right there. And that's what this trains: the return.
Imagine having this on court…
A simple breathing routine that brings you back when nerves hit.
A way to reset between points so mistakes don’t spiral.
Tools that help you feel more present and focused, even in big moments.
A growing trust that you can handle pressure with your own internal game.
This isn’t about overnight perfection.
It’s about building a solid, reliable baseline — so presence becomes a habit and your energy works for you instead of against you.

The Daily Seven
The foundation
This is a self-paced audio collection built for competitive players — ITF, professionals, and anyone serious about their tennis.
It comes in two parts.
The Foundation is seven guided practices, done off court, one a day. Five to fifteen minutes each. This is where you build the skill — the breath, the awareness, the ability to come back — with nothing on the line.
Match Day
The Inner work
Match Day is what you take with you.
A focus meditation for before you play, and two short practices for afterwards: one for after a loss, one for after a win. Because what you do in the hour after a match shapes what you carry into the next one.
Keep them for the rest of your season. They're yours.

Recovery Reset
A deep guided rest practice to calm the nervous system and restore energy after intense matches or training — usually reserved for my private mentoring clients.
What my clients are saying
about working with me:
— J. competitive club player
“Akku’s presence alone changes everything.”
The moment she started guiding the breathwork, my whole body softened and my mind got quiet — something I’ve struggled with for years in matches.
Her voice takes you into a new state where nerves stop running the show.
— M., international junior competitor
“She gets tennis at a level I didn’t expect.”
Akku may not be a pro player, but she understands what happens inside a match — mentally and emotionally..
She spotted the exact pattern that was holding me back and gave me a way to reset — simple, but it worked when the pressure was on.
— A., CEO & competitive amateur tennis player
“Akku has an extraordinary ability to calm the noise and bring me back to what matters.”
As a CEO I’m used to high stakes, but I often felt the same pressure and overthinking I do before an important point in tennis.
Akku’s way of combining breathwork, presence, and deep understanding of performance — without any fluff — gave me tools I now use before key meetings and on court.
She sees patterns quickly and helps shift them so focus and confidence return.
Hi, I'm Akku! Your Guide
Mentor to high performers, mother of two competitive tennis players, wife, and a lifelong explorer of both the visible and invisible games of life.
I believe the real victories aren’t only the ones you can measure on a scoreboard. They’re the shifts you make in your internal game — releasing pressure, reconnecting to flow, and finding momentum again.
With more than 20 years of experience in yoga, breathwork, and energy mentoring, I blend ancient wisdom with modern performance science to help athletes and high achievers master their inner game.
I’ve spent countless hours on tennis courts, observing the patterns that appear when the stakes rise: presence lost, breath shallow, energy scattered.
It’s clear — talent and training aren’t enough if the inner game cracks under pressure.
That’s why I created The Inner Warm Up - play better under pressure: a first, accessible step into training the invisible side of performance.
Through simple but powerful breathwork and presence tools, you’ll start building a reliable foundation you can use immediately on court — the same principles I bring to my private mentorship for elite athletes and leaders who want to master the full Internal Game (Nervous system regulation, mindset and meditation, visualization, breathwork) and step into their next-level self.
QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS
Q: I’ve tried breathing exercises before, but they didn’t help mid-match. Why is this different?
Most generic breathing tips aren’t designed for tennis. Here, you’ll learn a match-specific, step-by-step routine you can use between points, during changeovers, and pre-match — not just “take a deep breath.” You’ll also practice it in short, structured sessions so it becomes automatic under pressure, instead of something you hope will work.
Q: How much time does this take?
Most practices are 5–15 minutes.
The full course is designed as a 7-day journey you can do at your own pace and then repeat.
Even if you only use one or two tools consistently, you’ll notice a difference quickly.
Q: When will I start to feel results?
Many players notice a shift after just a few sessions — a calmer body and clearer head.
By the end of the three weeks, you’ll have a routine you can trust and begin to feel more steady under match pressure.
Like any skill, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
Q: I’m not a pro — is this still for me?
Absolutely. It’s built for any competitive player who wants a reliable way to stay calm and play their best under pressure — from ambitious juniors to serious adult competitors.
Q: How long do I have access?
It's yours to keep. One payment, no renewal, no subscription. Come back to it whenever you need it.
Q: Do I need to be “into yoga” or meditation?
Nope. Everything is sport-focused and practical — no incense, no chanting.
Just simple, science-backed tools you can use on and off the court.
Q: I tried before and it didn’t seem to work — how do I know this will help?
Many players give up on breathwork because they only try it once or twice, or only in a stressful match. Like a stroke or serve, the inner game needs practice.
These tools are designed to be short and easy to repeat — just 5–10 minutes a day for a couple of weeks builds the habit so it’s there when pressure rises.
You’ll feel calmer and more in control within the first week, and the more you practice, the more automatic it becomes.
