Habitual excellence is a high performance coaching consulting company, which Stephan Widmer started in 2013 during his family gap year: Travelling around the World with his family of 4 whilst consulting sport federations, associations, Universities, sporting clubs, high performance coaches and individual professionals around the globe. The journey came to an end late 2013, whilst the business kept going!
