To improve your athletic performance, you need to practice both your physical and mental skills. By physical skills, we mean elements such as strength and speed. The term strength is the ability to generate and absorb maximum force. By the term speed, we mean the ability to move with great rapidity. This is where the Wim Hof Method comes in handy. The method includes many benefits for you to experience:

Increased sports performance training
Sports performance training is tailored to your specific needs for a particular type of sport. Benefits of the Wim Hof Method include improved cardiovascular health and increased muscular endurance, which are advantageous when improving your athletic performance.

Faster workout recovery
Taking the time to recover from a workout is just as important as working out itself. But how do your muscles recover faster after a workout? Get more sleep, eat enough protein to repair muscle tissue, and stay hydrated. Learn how to commit to these principles by practicing the Wim Hof Method and benefit from a faster workout recovery.

Mental skills are just as critical as physical skills when it comes to improving your athletic performance. There are a lot of different mental elements that contribute to increasing your athletic ability. Some examples are:

Boost concentration
To get to most out of your workout, you need to focus. But when you experience concentration problems, you might not be able to get the results you want. Most concentration problems are stress-related. Not only is stress bad for your concentration, but it is also very harmful to your health in general. The Wim Hof Method teaches you the techniques that help you regain your focus to get the full benefit from your sports training.

Increase willpower
Willpower and self-control are essential for a successful improvement in your athletic performance. It helps resist distraction and keeps you going, no matter how difficult and challenging the situation sometimes seems. By practicing the exercises used in the Wim Hof Method, we believe that you can train your brain to increase willpower and therefore boost your athletic ability.

For 12 years now I have had rheumatism. Thanks to the Wim Hof Method I have been able to halve the amount of anti-inflammatory drugs. My goal is to completely stop the use of anti-inflammatory drugs after finishing the video course.

Aivar, Estonia

I am 52 years old, and after 10 weeks of the Wim Hof Method I am in the best shape I have ever been. I did 30 push-ups as a test before I started the course, and when I finished I did 100 push-ups for the first time in my life. The Wim Hof Method gives you a good mood, it’s addictive!

Monic, The Netherlands

It’s only been 4 weeks since I started, but the results are remarkable! Thank you from the heart for changing my life, my health, and my understanding about my own power and the influence I have on this. I’m looking forward to a nice cold winter in the Netherlands.

Mino, Germany

Learning Wim’s method is like studying from one of nature’s best students. My life long fear of cold is history. I now fully enjoy cold immersions, but the benefits are not limited to cold. I am now a better person and a happier being. I smile when facing life challenges.

After 8 months of daily Hoffing, puffing and cold showers I can claim to be cured of my 5 year burnout. Not having had a single cold or flu, my sore knee is working perfectly again, which was very painful the last 2 years. It is like a miracle, and I’m really grateful that our paths crossed.

Franco, USA

Wim I hope to train with you someday. I love to jump into that cold water and climb that mountain with you. Your method has truly helped me with psoriatic arthritis. I am no longer taking Humira injections for my symptoms. I am controlling it with breathing, cold showers and ice baths.

Matthew, Australia

I would have paid $10,000 for this, but that would not be enough because this has changed my life. I feel like I have taken Valium yet am supercharged. As a clinical psychologist my days can be very stressful. There is a stillness inside me now, and what I am really amazed by is the peace lasts.

Per Kristian, United Kingdom

After 3 weeks of daily practicing my medication (Naproxen) for long-standing sciatica has been cut by 80%, and my arm pain and 'pins and needles' following a neck injury 50 years ago has been halved!

Arthur, USA

I got anxiety 2+ years ago, and have had panic attacks every day since. Medicine helped a little. I came across your videos and started to walk my 2 miles a day in only a t-shirt at 20F degrees. Within 2 weeks my anxiety went away! I found it to be a miracle.

James, USA

I’ve had astonishing results battling addiction with the Wim Hof Method. It has saved my life and is the only thing that worked on getting clean and healthy. I go ahead and get my suffering over with in the cold showers, so I don't have to suffer throughout the day. Pretty good trade to...

Georg, Germany

Cardiac and respiratory arrest began my life. Heart defect and cleft palate pushed diseases. Depression, lack of self-efficacy, and post traumatic stress disorder followed. The Wim Hof Method frees me: I am twenty-nine years old, and I love to live. Thank you!

Grant, Australia

I was born with Spina Bifida, and was told I would end up in a wheelchair. After incorporating the Wim Hof Method into my daily life I have begun to see results in my pain levels and athleticism. I am no longer looking down the barrel of becoming a paraplegic, and I attribute that in part to the...

Raúl, The Netherlands

From the 90s to 2012 I developed hayfever symptoms and had to take daily medications in order to cope. The effect of these medications only lasted for several hours. By using the Wim Hof Method training daily, my body has conquered hayfever symptoms since 2013.

Benjamin

I started the Wim Hof method in October of 2018, and now the holes I had in my brain are gone. My neurosurgeon was so impressed by the scans that he told me I don't have to come back anymore. I take this as proof that this method works to regenerate brain tissue.
