Mark Russell
Head Performance Coach
Life, business, sports, performing - it's a game played largely in the mind! And it's your mental toughness that's often the difference that makes the difference.
Business executives, athletes and performing artists know that the margins between being the best and being a contender and are often very thin. And who succeeds is largely determined by the person who has the most helpful and resourceful emotional state.
Individuals and teams who are mentally tough can deliver consistently high performance levels, even when they are under intense pressure.
They're also able to stay calm, can make the right decisions at the right time and when it really counts, when it really matters, they seem to be able to deliver peak performance.
Design and delivery of effective coaching programmes to help you become more aware, improve performance and achieve the results you want.
Practical and interactive fun workshops and keynote talks designed to identify and leverage strengths, build confidence, performance focus and emotional control
Build a performance mindset so you can play consistently well and deliver when the opposition is strongest, fear is greatest and the pressure is intense
I was lucky enough to play Rugby Union for England A, Harlequins and Blackheath between 1991 and 1998.
And my experiences playing sport at the top level combined with my knowledge of emotional intelligence and strengths has taught me a MASSIVE amount about life, sports and business success. These invaluable lessons can help people like you, be more successful.
When you work with me your learning experiences will be both relevant and effective. The focus is always on practical learning so that you are aware of what's going on around you, what your objectives are and how to leverage on your own individual style, strengths and developmental needs.
In the end 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.
