Institute for Endurance Psychology

Learn from leading experts

Due to the great response beyond running, the Institute for Running Psychology was renamed the Institute for Endurance Psychology. The institute offers excellent services to promote motivation, performance and health.

Leading sport psychology experts support professional and recreational runners, triathletes and other endurance athletes and their trainers in integrating the latest psychological findings into training, competition and everyday life. The goal: to make them mentally (even) stronger in order to master important challenges better and to stay healthy and happy in the long run. Because one thing is clear: Success is always a mental matter. So is failure.

During the maintenance of the endurancepsychology.com website, key information and an access to the Online Assessment for Runners are hosted here on the site of the founder Dr. Michele Ufer.

Online Assessment for Runners

Motivation, mental skills, athlete's personality

In his book Mental Toughness for Runners Dr. Michele Ufer provides, among other measures, tools to assess motivation and mental skills, including step-by-step instrutions for evaluation. For all those who do not want to do the math, this online assessment is your chance to get quick and valid results.

The online assessment is part of a research project and therefore goes far beyond the diagnosis in the book, including self-leadership, resilience, self-efficacy and other personality trait measures.
