Jörg Wetzel

Jörg Wetzel was a pioneering Swiss sports psychologist known for his innovative approach to mental training in athletics. Over his career, he supported the Swiss Olympic delegation for ten consecutive Olympic Games from 2006 to 2024, helping athletes overcome mental barriers and achieve remarkable success. Wetzel emphasized the importance of mental resilience and personal development, transforming the mindset of athletes, particularly in the shooting sports, where he helped lift the stigma of failure. His untimely passing at the age of 56 left a significant void in Swiss sports, as he was instrumental in guiding athletes like Nina Christen to Olympic glory.
