Profile Summary
Expertise in helping individuals and teams in sports and business perform under pressure.
I'm a director of Performance1, developing high performance in business and sport. My particular expertise lies in developing mental toughness and building excellence within teams, skills which were essential in my role as sport psychologist with Team GB at the Macau preparation camp for the Beijing Olympics.
Clients include UK Sport, the GB canoe slalom and sprint teams, the GB U18 & U23 Rowing Teams, Badminton England, The British Real Tennis Academy, and a range of individual clients from diverse sports including tennis, sailing and premiership football. I was a facilitator on the British Olympic Association's Team Leader Programme for Athens 2004, working with Performance Directors in developing strategies to handle media pressures and team challenges in the forthcoming games.
My corporate work has included co-facilitating for NHS Chief Executives’ on personal and professional resourcefulness in a pressured environment; supporting the board and Senior Management team of Mercury Health during their rapid growth; and teaching co-coaching skills to civil servants in the Cabinet Office to enhance their creativity and provide a more supportive working environment. Facilitating a recent strategy event for 55 senior and regional staff within the Environment Agency, delegates later fed back that they were 'shocked at the level of excitement, engagement and enthusiasm' generated.

All of my work helps individuals and teams find the extra 1 percent that makes a difference to performance. 1 percent is the difference between Gold and 4th - off the podium. Gaining 1 percent in all areas, training, in the gym, in rehab, with your coach, with your team mates, with other staff, on a regular basis leads to enormous gains in performance. Continususly developing better relationships, better focus, and increased confidence takes you to new levels and greater enjoyment, in sport and in business.
