chess and sport psychology

About

Hello, I’m Deniz – sport psychologist, chess trainer and author. I am originally from Istanbul, but I have been living in Vienna since September 2022. I am Boğaziçi University alumni with a degree in Psychology. Later, I focused on sports psychology in Masters degree on Exercise and Sport Psychology at Marmara University, but I did not complete my thesis 🙂 For nearly a decade, I had the privilege of working with Galatasaray Sports Club. My passion for psychology and chess have been the driving force behind my journey. I’m dedicated to helping individuals achieve their mental and emotional well-being goals, both in and out of the sporting arena.

Apart from chess and psychology, I like to travel and write.
