Sports performance · Andorra
When your performance no longer feels like you.
In training, everything clicks. When it matters, something shuts down. And so far, no one has been able to tell you what.
Until the question starts turning against you: “What if I’m the problem?”
It’s not you. It’s the toll your system is already paying before the start. And you cannot get back a season spent looking in the wrong place.
The unseen decides.
PERFORMA begins where separate answers are no longer enough.
Multiple signals.
One capacity to adapt.
The signal appears here. The cause lies elsewhere.
You have been sleeping poorly for six weeks. You mentioned it. You were told it was the fatigue of the season.
Here is what no one connected. That disrupted sleep slows your recovery. Incomplete recovery keeps your nervous system constantly on alert. A system on alert digests less effectively. And the next day, disrupted digestion draws again on energy you were already short of.
Taken separately: nothing alarming. Put together: a loop.
Which interaction is currently limiting the athlete’s capacity to adapt?
To answer it, PERFORMA brings together the case history, the available data and the realities of the sport, alongside the athlete, their support network and the professionals already involved.
Each of these signals has already had a response. None has addressed the loop. The question now is where to break it.

adaptation
The dominant constraint
The factor or interaction that, at this moment, most limits the athlete’s capacity to adapt.
We do not address everything at once. We start with what unlocks the rest.
The PERFORMA method · 03 steps
From complexity to a clear priority
Most complex cases have already seen plenty of interventions. What they lack is a clear order.
Step 01 · Understand
Integrated
assessment
We review everything: the history, assessments, what has already been tried and the athlete’s daily experience. Then we look for the connections within that picture.
Step 02 · Decide
Intervention
priority
We identify the dominant constraint and set the order of action. Every decision has an explicit objective and a criterion for judging its effectiveness.
Step 03 · Align
Coordination
and follow-up
The athlete, their support network and the professionals finally work from the same understanding. The plan evolves with the calendar, the data and the athlete’s actual response.
You will always know why an action was chosen, and how we will know it has worked. A real case shows it better than an explanation.
Real case · Identity protected
They were all right. But no one saw the whole picture.
He arrived at competition with his system already on alert. His talent was intact. His capacity to express it was not.
None of them was wrong. The problem lay in what they were not sharing.
PERFORMA rebuilt the overall picture, identified the dominant constraint and set the order of intervention. The framework, however, changes depending on who gets in touch.
The standard stays the same. The framework adapts.
PERFORMA steps in when the situation requires more than one discipline’s perspective — working directly with the athlete and their support network, or alongside a sports organisation.
Athletes
& support networks
You have already sought help. Several times. Each answer helped a little, and the season keeps moving.
- A decisive period is approaching: resuming training, returning from injury, a major competition.
- Several professionals are involved, without a shared understanding of the case.
- You need a clear priority, and a confidential setting to discuss it.
We rebuild the overall picture, set the order of intervention and bring in the expertise that matters.
Clubs, teams
& organisations
The staff are competent, there is no shortage of data, and the case has remained unresolved for months.
- Establish an objective picture of an individual situation through an integrated assessment.
- Align everyone involved around a shared priority.
- Provide focused support or work together throughout a season.
Our work complements the existing support system, without taking over medical, technical or operational responsibilities.
PERFORMA does more than add another voice. It gives the expertise already in place a shared direction.
Case leadership
Clear accountability at the heart of every case.
The initial assessment, the priority, the consistency of follow-up: Mauro Domenico Maza takes personal responsibility for each, working with the athlete and their support network or alongside a sports organisation. One person maintains continuity, from the first conversation to the end of the engagement.
“My role is not to have every answer. It is to know which question to ask, which priority to set and which expertise to bring in. ”
- Assessment
- Connect the body, biology, the nervous system, mental processes and the realities of the sport without reducing the case to a single discipline.
- Decision
- Distinguish what deserves further exploration from what needs action now, making the priority explicit and verifiable.
- Coordination
- Bring in the right expertise and maintain a shared understanding, without taking over medical, technical or operational responsibilities. Even when the obstacle is no longer clinical.
Performance environment
Friction off the field costs you on it.
A rescheduled flight. A document requested the day before. A medical appointment on the wrong day. Nothing serious in isolation. Except they all draw on the same reserves.
When operational demands become a constraint on performance, PERFORMA reorganises them around one priority: protecting the athlete’s capacity to perform.
Performance Operations
Protecting the resources the athlete needs for performance
-
International travel
Coordinating travel, accommodation and the procedures involving visas, permits and the relevant authorities.
-
Performance calendar
Aligning training, competition, care and recovery with appointments and actual travel times.
-
Support network coordination
Keeping information flowing, clarifying responsibilities and aligning the athlete, their support network and the professionals involved.
-
Operational continuity
Anticipating disruption and protecting essential routines during the periods that matter most.
No one takes over the athlete’s life.
We simply prevent its logistics from consuming
the energy, attention and capacity
that performance demands.
First conversation · strictly confidential
Before we discuss solutions, let’s understand what is at stake.
Every enquiry begins with a personal, confidential assessment : the stage of the season, the signals observed, what has already been tried. This is where the opening question finally receives an answer.
If PERFORMA is the right fit, we define the next step. If it is not, we will tell you clearly.
Strategic discretion
In elite performance, an advantage does not always need to be made public. PERFORMA can make a decisive contribution without being visible: no collaboration, identity or case information is made public without explicit permission.
This first conversation helps us
-
Understand your situation
Understand what is happening now and why the situation calls for a broader perspective.
-
Assess the fit
Determine whether PERFORMA offers the right framework for the athlete, their support network or the organisation.
-
Define the next step
Propose a clear framework only after this initial assessment.
No protocol or commitment is proposed before this initial assessment.
