Performance
Performance psychology for athletes, coaches and parents
Mental skills and performance support from a registered psychologist who has spent his life in sport.
A free 15-minute phone call to see whether we're a good fit. No cost, and no need to have it all worked out.
Who I work with
- Athletes: pre-performance anxiety, confidence, the gap between training form and game day, injury and return to play, selection and non-selection, the transition out of sport.
- Coaches: managing decision-making, communication, scrutiny and the emotional demands of leading a team.
- Parents: how to support a young athlete without becoming another source of pressure.
- Teams and clubs: squad presentations, season-long support, coach development.
- Executives and high performers: the same psychology, different arena.
I work with athletes across codes, including football, rugby league and union, golf, tennis, athletics and strength sports.
Nothing you share is passed to a club or coach without your consent, except where the law or someone's safety requires it.
How this is different from therapy
Performance work focuses on agreed goals, preparation and skills for competing under pressure. Programs run in blocks, with the format agreed after an initial conversation. Performance enhancement alone is not eligible for Medicare rebates; any clinical treatment is assessed separately.
