THOUGHT-BASED APPROACH
Support That Makes a Difference
Need help to achieve your sporting goals? I am committed to helping you learn about yourself, your mind and your emotions in all situations. By becoming more self-aware you learn to take responsibility for your own performance and become your own best coach. This enables improved performances on the field and a more contented and rewarding life off it.
TEAM SESSIONS
Team sessions are conducted in a group setting to build a winning team culture based on unity of purpose and direction. These sessions include: determining and reinforcing a set of values to guide behaviours, building positive team relationships, improving communication, merging individual abilities and attitudes into a synchronized team and dealing with the negative threats of pressure and adversity.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Private sessions are conducted at regular intervals to develop mental and emotional skills to achieve consistently high levels of performance. These encompass: practical and emotion based techniques and strategies. Practical techniques include: self-talk, visualization, focus strategies and pre-competition and competition routines to effectively manage games and events. Emotional skills include: developing self-awareness, a positive mental attitude and mental resilience to reduce the prevalence of negative thought patterns and tendencies towards self-doubt.

THE ROAD TO NFD
This is the story of my role in Maccabi football club's success. Maccabi overcame the odds to win the ABC Motsepe league and the subsequent playoffs to win promotion to the National Football Division (the second tier of South African football). It was a crazy journey and it gave me some incredible insights into teamwork and the footballing world. I have a full blog post on this experience so click below if you would like to learn more.
