High Performance Isn’t a Trait. It’s a Skill.
Learn how fighter pilots train for clarity, execution, and resilience—and apply the same systems to your life and career.
TOOLS OF FIGHTER PILOTS COACHING
You don’t have to fly a jet to operate at the highest level. But you do need the mindset, systems, and discipline of someone who has.
I’m Tommaso Cartacci, a career fighter pilot and instructor. I spent years training elite aviators to perform under pressure.
Today, I coach high-performance individuals—founders, athletes, executives, creatives—who want to sharpen their edge and show up with focus and purpose in every area of life.
If you're navigating transition, feeling stuck in your growth, or just tired of underperforming your potential, we’ll work together to rewire your internal operating system.
This isn’t mindset fluff. It’s flight-tested performance strategy, refined for your reality.
Real Clients. Real Performance.
“I met Tommaso while I was preparing for the competition to become a pilot in the Air Force. He played a key role in helping me manage stress under pressure and build the right mindset to succeed. Years later, I still use the emotional regulation and physiological control techniques he taught me—whether I’m flying, briefing, or speaking in front of a crowd.”
— Edoardo Ercolini, Fighter Pilot
“I met Tommaso as a teacher during my MICAP (High Performance Coaching Master) journey. His insights on decision-making under pressure were inspiring and illuminating. We share a passion for performance, trust, and challenge as a lifestyle—he lives it, teaches it, and brings it out in others.”
— Dr. Matteo Basei Fantolino, Executive Coach & University Researcher
“Tommaso brings a rare combination of business acumen and real, lived experience in high-performance. His podcast and coaching offer insights from aviation and leadership that are relevant far beyond the cockpit. He’s thoughtful, professional, and creates meaningful growth for those he works with.”
— Gustavo Ruthes, Mental Performance Consultant, Canadian Sport Psychology Association
WHO I AM, AND WHY IT MATTERS
I spent over a decade training and leading fighter pilots—individuals expected to make life-or-death decisions in seconds. I learned how to lead under pressure, adapt in real time, and stay focused in the midst of chaos.
Now I coach high-performance individuals—founders, athletes, artists, executives—who want to lead lives built on purpose, performance, and presence.
You don’t need a jet to think like a fighter pilot.
You just need the right systems, the right coaching, and the right mission.
Stay Sharp. Stay Ahead.
