From nervousness to peak performance – Julia Isabella Wiese’s journey with the TT38 Talent Test

Professional padel player Julia Isabella Wiese is currently ranked No. 1 on the Danish padel rankings and is a key member of the national team. However, the path to the top has required both mental and physical development. In collaboration with talent and performance consultant Rasmus Lyhne, Julia has worked with TT38 to strengthen her mental performance and understand her potential.

The starting point

When the process began in October 2024, Julia was a full-time player with good results. Nevertheless, nervousness in important matches limited her performance. The focus became helping Julia create mental focus and utilise her strengths optimally.

“We worked with a strength-based approach to help Julia handle the pressure and perform consistently,” says Rasmus.

The goal of TT38

The purpose was to provide Julia with insight into her strengths to optimise training and performance. The profile identified “Competitive” as a top talent, along with “Optimistic,” “Strategic,” “Communicative,” and “Self-assured.” Julia learned to use these talents both in matches and in collaboration with coaches and teammates.

The development

Julia has achieved better self-insight, allowing her to detect and tackle challenges early. This has provided her with tools to perform better under pressure.

“I have learned to understand my strengths and weaknesses, which makes it easier to detect and handle challenges. It has helped me a lot in high-pressure situations,” says Julia.

This development has elevated her game, and she is now No. 1 on the Danish rankings.

Expansion of the collaboration

Today, the collaboration has been expanded to include a test of Julia’s partner, Simone. The next step is a team test to strengthen their partnership and ensure they utilise their individual and collective strengths optimally.

“We want to use the team test to improve their collaboration and performance on the court,” says Rasmus.

Greater understanding of oneself and others

Julia highlights that TT38 has also given her insight into how people differ.

“It has helped me achieve better collaboration and a training strategy that suits my potential,” Julia concludes.

With TT38, Julia and Simone continue their journey towards new goals – mentally equipped and stronger than ever.
