Athlete, Yogi, Holistic Performance Coach

Hi! I’m Gabor, the founder of BREATHLETE, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I was once a talented junior tennis player heading down the path towards a professional career. Then the mental pressure to perform mounted. Multiple, chronic injuries due to over training and unbalanced strain on the body happened. The biological, mental and emotional aspects of late adolescence set in. With the combination of all of these and no effective guidance on how to handle them, the hope of a successful ATP career faded quickly.

After a successful college career I left tennis behind and traded it to an equally demanding corporate profession. This continued pressure left me searching for something to help handle stress and reverse the decades of trauma I had caused to my body and my mind as a lifelong athlete and a top performer. It was that search that led me to yoga. And it was yoga that lead me to breathwork and mindfulness training.

I discovered how conscious movement and breath practice is not only a pathway towards physical and mental health but can also significantly increase performance and productivity. Both in the long term and in the singular moments of stress and adversity. My mission is to turn the next generation of high performing athletes into BREATHLETES so they can reach peak performance instead of peak burn out. Through the practice of yoga, meditation and breathwork, every athlete can achieve a healthier body, clearer mind, and better results.
