What people are saying

Founders

“Oskari has developed a clever and focused approach to applying sports psychology and coaching to founders. Founders face repeatable mental challenges and need the same discipline and resilience as athletes to overcome them. I really enjoyed learning along the way and taking time to self-reflect.”

“To learn more about how to sustainably build a startup while maintaining knowledge on the importance of mental health.” (on what motivated them to join)

“Stepping back to realize that working together makes a massive difference and helps motivate, create, and maintain things much easier.” (most valuable takeaway)

“I very much enjoyed the official, but still warm atmosphere during discussions. I also enjoyed learning more about myself, how I tackle stress, and what makes me motivated. These were eye-opening learnings.”

Athletes

“With a performance coach like Oskari you can measurably see improvement — knowing what you’re doing good and bad helps with staying motivated and building confidence.”

“I felt very understood, and there was absolutely no judgement.”

“I think I gained a lot of confidence, and my overall mindset has improved in a way that I think more positively about everything in general.”

“That I can always talk to you when I needed to talk to someone, and how important your mental health is.”

“I appreciate all the conversations we had when I was down about things, and I took a lot from them — particularly the mindset of ‘if you can’t do anything about it, why worry.’”

“It was a great experience — he is very professional and can build a good relationship with you.”

Parents

“During his time at the academy, he matured a great deal and learned to handle day-to-day situations independently — balancing school and training while managing his own meals, laundry, and transportation. The biggest improvement we’ve noticed is in his mental development, confidence, and ability to manage everyday situations away from home. These are life skills that will stay with him long after basketball.”

“If other parents asked me about Oskari, I would definitely recommend him. His support goes beyond the physical aspect — having someone who encourages, guides, and helps young athletes build confidence can make a big difference.”
