🤯 Mind Sports & Mental Maths:
Since my first time competing at mental calculation in 2012, it was clear that anyone can learn to be much faster with numbers, if they have the right training!
The World Mental Calculation website (written by me) has information about advanced and competitive mental maths.
I provide custom mental maths coaching to help you get to the next level with mathematics—either for professional reasons, for studying, or for amateurs exploring what their mind is capable of!
I also give demonstrations and workshops (at venues and online) about the psychology of mental maths, memory and other mind sports.

- Wim Hof Method – Biology of Breathing
- Science of Cold Showers and Ice Baths
- Ice Bath Calculator
- The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique for Sleep
- Should I take a Cold Shower after a Workout?
- Memory Techniques for Mindfulness Meditation
