About
Dirk Stroda
Works with Olympic Champions, World-Champions and Canada's Top Corporate Performers and Public Figures.
From my early ages on I was fascinated how adaptable our human bodies are, how they react and how they can break down when not well trained and overused (mentally & physically).
I got my first 'How to treat and prevent Sport Injury' book at the age of 14 and became the go-to-guy at my high school for my fellow students helping them to heal their sport injuries from soccer, handball and track.
​
I co-founded and managed one of the largest sports and orthopedic rehab clinics in Germany and was appointed as Head Medical Coach for several National Sport Federations (German Handball Fed., German Rowing Fed., German Golf Fed.) and many Olympians.
​
However, the most fascinating shift happened during my time with the German National Golf Team when I began to understand the importance of the mental game. At that time 'mental coaching' was very much neglected (1996) and more of a myth than a performance enhancement and benefit for the athletes.
Stroda conveyed his expertise as the Team Mental Performance Coach to Equestrian Canada at World Equestrian Games, PanAm Games and the Olympics.
​
Stroda has co-authored a world-wide recognized medical study, his research paper is published at the St. Andrews PGA Library and his training concepts were officially recommended by the PGA.
​
Stroda is coaching leaders of multi-Million dollar companies in the US and in Canada and was the performance coach for world-class athletes and international top performers in their domain. His medical studies gained world-wide recognition and his publications can be found in some of the worlds most prestigious libraries; his multidimensional perspective an asset for his clients.
​

Methodology
Legacy Coaching starts at the core level of who we are and what we want to become rather than focusing on past or current symptoms. Asking for the 'WHY' can truly bring out the innate desire and talents, the motivation and aspiration.
The Legacy Coaching Method is designed to help ambitious individuals achieving personal + professional goals, we clarify goals and targets and break unwanted patterns that can cause unwanted results.
​
Legacy Coaching includes all of the seven building blocks (Health, Wealth, Mind, Career, Relationship, Leadership and Productivity) to build a strong foundation on which long-lasting legacy can be build.
Without a strong foundation success in life, in sport or in business, is a gamble.
