Quieting the Mind for Peak Performance

My work helps people quiet the mind using a simple, proven and trusted Performance Practice I’ve developed from over 30 years in the Eastern arts. I’ve had a meditation practice for as long as I can remember and have been doing martial arts like Tai Chi since 1987.

The approach I use is counter to the usual mental game; I don’t believe we can use the mind to quiet the mind so I avoid anything and everything to do with psychology, NLP, reframing, self-talk, mindset, mental toughness and so forth.

Instead, I use centuries-old disciplines and practices, like breathing awareness, moving the centre, posture training, and slow motion drills to shift the attention away from the mind and into the body.

It’s been remarkably successful in sports, which is where my career began around 2006. I’ve had the pleasure of working with junior elite athletes in golf, tennis, gymnastics and winter sports, as well as competitive amateur golfers and tour professionals. Other sports clients include LET, LPGA, Senior Tour, Champions Tour, Solheim Cup, PGA and Open Championship golfers, Masters-level swimmers, and an Olympic middle-distance runner.

I’ve taken what I’ve learned from quieting the minds of athletes into the business world and education.

My usual remit is to present to senior leaders and teams, small businesses or groups of students and teachers as my work is completely interactive and I prefer a hands-on approach rather than standing on stage giving a speech, although I don’t mind doing this now and then if the audience is right. Business clients include ACE, Avaya, British Gas, Debenhams, Future Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline, NHS, Sauveux Group, Unilever and Vistage. In education I have presented for Bramshill Police College, PGA Member Education, Sussex Golf College and Notre Dame School.

My work has had an impact on musicians, especially those suffering with stage-fright or performance anxiety and (as I play a little Latin guitar myself) it’s been great working with other guitarists, including flamenco and bass-players as well as concert violinists.
