Why now

The gap nobody is exploiting.

We visited 60 clubs across Europe. Not one — not Bayern, not Hertha, not Udinese — trains footballers' breathing deliberately.

Over 90% of players breathe dysfunctionally. It quietly erodes endurance, recovery and decision-making under pressure. The biggest clubs are not addressing it — which means there is a real, untapped edge sitting here. We want to change that. And we need coaches to do it.

What you're joining

A method already working in the top flight.

AirFlow Performance is a scientifically validated breathing training system built for professional football. You are not joining another course — you are stepping into a method with real results and standing in the football medicine world.

Seven weeks with a top-flight club: −90% time spent in high heart-rate zones and +64% sprints before the fatigue threshold.

Who guides you

Maciej Szyszka

Creator of the AirFlow Performance method · programme mentor

Maciej connected breathing work with the realities of professional football and built a method that is now entering the Polish top flight. He visited 60 European clubs to see up close how the game is trained at the highest level — and spotted a gap nobody is closing.

As the programme's mentor he walks you down that same road: from breathing diagnostics, through work with the player, to getting inside a club. He does not leave you alone with the files — he shares what actually works on the pitch and stands behind you when you start with your first footballer.

Breathing is the last undiscovered edge in football. I want coaches to be the first ones to use it.

Mentoring

Grow with Maciej Szyszka and a community of coaches

You are not left alone with the files. You get direct contact with the creator of the method and a group of coaches walking the same road as you.

03
Clients

We bring you footballers

This is what sets us apart. We reach professional clubs directly and connect them with coaches from the programme. You do the work with the player — we bring the contact.

The method

Three stages — from breath to playing under pressure.

STAGE 01

Isolation

Nasal breathing, diaphragm activation, building CO₂ tolerance. The foundation everything else stands on.

STAGE 02

Integration

Synchronising breath with movement in dynamic training. Breathing stops being an exercise and becomes a habit.

STAGE 03

Improvisation

Breathing strategies under match pressure and autonomic recovery. What you see in the 90th minute.

Frequently asked questions

Before you apply.

Will I get a certificate of participation?

We are not interested in handing out paper for the wall. We are interested in training high-calibre breathing coaches — the kind who can stand on real results with players rather than a framed certificate. We back learning, practice and quality: what counts is what you can do with a footballer's breathing, not the diploma proving it.

Do I need a breathing certification to join?

No specific certificate is required. We are looking for people who work with breathing seriously — through Oxygen Advantage, Buteyko, the Wim Hof Method, respiratory physiotherapy, yoga or any other path. If you understand breathing and want to work in sport, you are in the right place.

Where do the clients come from — do you really bring in footballers?

Yes. We talk directly to professional clubs and that is the core of the programme. Coaches who complete the method and the qualification are connected with players and clubs. You run the breathing work — we handle reaching the clubs. You can also work with your own clients outside the programme; we block nothing.

How long does it take to go through the materials?

You work through the 20-plus hours of video and the PDFs at your own pace. Most coaches grasp the fundamentals of the method within a few weeks and return to the materials later as a reference library.

Can I work in my own city or remotely?

Yes. Some of the work with a player is remote, some is on site — it depends on the club and the stage. When we refer clients we take your location and availability into account.

Do I need a football background?

You do not need to come from the football world. We pass on the context of the game and of working with a club as part of the method and the mentoring. What matters are your breathing skills and your readiness to grow.

How does the PLN 299 payment work and can I cancel?

It is a subscription of PLN 299 per month. You pay for as long as you use the materials, the mentoring and the referred clients. You can cancel whenever you want — no long-term commitment.
