Performance Psychology Keynote Speaker

Keynotes that turn pressure into performance.

Thirty years at the top of elite sport — Team Murray, England & Premier League football, Olympic champions — distilled into talks your team will still be quoting on Monday.

Delivered for BBC · Premier League · Coutts · NTT Data · Laing O’Rourke

The keynotes

Three talks. One aim: performance that lasts.

Each is tailored to your audience and objectives through a pre-event consultation.

01

Inside Winning Teams

How a football side turned a 23% points return into 78%, and how Team Murray reached world number one. The real, practical mechanics of collaboration, culture and performance under pressure.

The Winning Mind

Mindset is a skill, not a fixed trait. How elite performers train focus, confidence and motivation — then hold them when it matters most. Evidence-based tools your team can use the next morning, not slogans.
