I exclusively work with athletes (young amateurs, semi-pro, pro or elite), sport parents, performers & sport team coaches. I help you with the psychological shifts needed to transition through the different stages of your sporting career. EG: From Semi-pro to Pro or from Pro to Elite. Before you even get to that level, you need to know you belong there. All the issues you are experiencing in your sport stem from that core issue. That is the essence of my work.

My work is anchored on helping you achieve your goals - we do this through the 5C's peak performance framework I have designed - Care, Clarity, Certainty, Consistency & Continued Growth. The first step to this change starts by reaching out; you can email, call or visit the website to start a conversation. I look forward to it.
