Why Performance Coaching?
Life, business, sports, and performance are games played mainly in the mind, and mental resilience often makes the difference.
Business executives, athletes and performing artists know that the margins between being the best and being a contender are often thin. Who succeeds is primarily determined by the person with the most resourceful emotional state.
Mentally resilient people and teams can consistently deliver high-performance levels.
They can also remain calm, make the right decisions at the right time, and deliver peak performance when it matters most.
I'm here to guide you
Sometimes, we all get lost and need a helping hand to point us in the right direction.
Design and deliver effective coaching programmes to help you become more aware, improve performance and achieve desired results.
Practical and interactive fun workshops and keynote talks are designed to identify and leverage strengths, build confidence, focus on performance, and control emotions.
Build a performance mindset to play consistently well and deliver when the opposition is strongest, fear is greatest, and the pressure is most intense.
What Can You Learn?
I was lucky to play Rugby Union for England A, Harlequins and Blackheath between 1991 and 1998.
My experiences playing sports at the top level and my knowledge of emotional intelligence and strengths have taught me much about life, sports, and business success. These invaluable lessons can help people like you be more successful.
Your learning experiences will be relevant and practical when you work with me. The focus is always on practical learning so that you are aware of what’s happening around you, your objectives, and how to leverage your individual style, strengths, and developmental needs.
Ultimately, it's about carpe diem - taking control of your life, assuming responsibility for what happens and knowing that you can change things yourself - even if it may not always be what you're supposed to do.
“Follow me – this way to the try line!” Leading another break through the midfield defence for Harlequins V Mosley (1994).
