Philosophy

We spend so much time working on the physical part of sport and we are constantly looking for that competitive edge. What distinguishes a good player from a great player is how well they manage failure. The quicker a performer can recover emotionally from setbacks, the better position they will be in the next opportunity they get. I help athletes build the necessary tools to enhance their confidence, attention, motivation, resilience, productivity, and emotional well-being. Failure in sport and life is inevitable, which is why I focus on consistency, not perfection.

“I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall”

— Serena Williams
