ABOUT
"I've been where you are"
I'm not a psychologist with a textbook full of theory. I'm someone who has lived inside the world of elite sport as a player, as a coach, and as someone who has sat with other elite athletes in the moments that matter.
For much of my life I competed as a player. I know what it feels like to walk onto a court with something on the line and have your own head become your biggest opponent. I've lost matches I should have won. I know exactly what that costs and more importantly, I know what changes it.

I spent 12 years as a coach, including three years as a high performance coach at Melbourne Park, working with elite players on the mental and performance dimensions that technical coaching sometimes misses. The stuff that happens between the ears, between the points, and between the matches.
From there I spent 15 years working commercially with some of the most performance driven organisations in the world; Tennis Australia, Red Bull, the AFL, Optimum Nutrition. What that taught me is that the principles behind elite performance are consistent whether you're an athlete, an executive, or a touring musician. The context may change but the mental patterns don't.
Throughout my journey so far, I’ve chased goals that became a part of my identity, things that I was all in on, and things I gave every fibre of myself to. I’ve also chased things I was never really aligned to and realised how big the gap between those two things can be. That understanding shapes everything about how I work with people.
What I bring to this isn't a framework or module you can read about. It's a life spent inside performance, it’s behaviour, it’s action, and it’s a genuine belief that most players have more in them than may ever know.
