Basketball mentoring with a former professional player
Laura Peña Jubany played in Spain's Liga Femenina Endesa and for the Spanish national team. Today she supports players — young, advanced and professional — to understand what they live through on and off the court, build confidence and handle pressure without giving up on enjoying the process.
About Laura
Who is Laura Peña
Laura has been tied to basketball her whole life: as a player, as a teammate and, above all, as someone who has felt first-hand how demanding this sport can be.
- UE Mataró
- Femení Sant Adrià
- Cadí La Seu
- Uni Girona
- Spain national team
For years she competed with good results, but inside she lived with anxiety, fear and relentless pressure, even when everything seemed to be going well. There came a point when she decided to stop and rethink how she wanted to live basketball.
From that process she learned that performance and well-being do not have to be opposed. Today she wants to put that experience at the service of other athletes, so they do not feel alone and can progress in a healthier way.
Mentoring
How can I support you?
Maybe you recognise yourself in one of these moments…
- You feel too much pressure before competing.
- You struggle to deal with a bad game or a bad result.
- You push yourself constantly and never feel it is enough.
- Fear of failing affects the way you compete.
- You have lost confidence in yourself.
- A mistake stays in your head for hours or days.
- From the outside it may look like you are fine, but inside you are not.
- You are going through a change: a new team, a new level, an injury…
- You are not sure exactly what is going on, but you feel you need to talk about it.
You do not need to know exactly what is going on for us to start talking.

FAQ
Before you write
Not at all. You can write even if it is something that only worries you a little, or if you simply feel like talking about it.
Not at all! You do not need to have it figured out. Putting it into words is often exactly what we work on together, so we can simply start by talking about what you are living through.
No, and it is important to be clear about that. It is a space of support in which I share what I have learned and lived as a basketball player, so you do not have to go through it alone.
Not at all! It is for any athlete, whatever their age, category or level. Pressure does not care about categories.
About 60 minutes is recommended: enough time to talk things through calmly without it becoming heavy. It can still be adapted to what you need at any given moment.
No commitment at all. You can start with one session and decide together how often you would like to continue.
