“Working with Saana was easy because Saana took the leadership of her own task and project from day one. She is a self-starter, productive, happy and social person as well as a solid professional whose work in this project was significant.
She brought up new perspectives and ideas to the project making it even better. We were impressed especially with her writing skills and production of content in written form. Best example of her know-how in this area are her pieces in the book called “Becoming an Elite Athlete” (Kehity Huippu-urheiljaksi) published by the Olympic Committee.”
“Said you are wanting your athletes to develop the winning mindset and have the tools to do it I would highly recommend reaching out to Saana.
She talked to my team and has usable tools that they were able to apply right away. At time of this writing my team is undefeated. Thank you Saana!”
“Saana has been working for the Olympic Committee in two different tasks and projects at two different times.
Her professional knowledge has been excellent and she has performed the given tasks succeeding to meet with the given goals.
In addition to her substance knowledge, she has gained an appreciated position in the work community due to her initiative approach, excellence in her work and her exquisite social skills. I am very happy to recommend Saana in her future endeavours as well as in her career.”
Read the Blog
My blog is like a brainstorm of what excites me, mini and major life lessons mostly learned from professional sports but can be applied elsewhere as well. It is a place where I express myself, make weird metaphors and stupid jokes, curse a little but only when needed and ponder the phenomena that are rocking my world.
Come rock with me!
