๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Master Trainer Graduated ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
For me this has not been a 5 year journey, this has been more like a 10 year journey.
When I first came across NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) I had no idea this would become an integral part of my life.
As a high performance athlete (at the time) and physiotherapist with an interest in neuroscience when I found out this was like the secret sauce to even better performance, I had to learn more about this.
Having run plenty of my own NLP Practitioner trainings, seminars in schools, 1 and 2 day workshops, introducing zoom๐ป trainings, countless hours of coaching (performance) clients๐, assisted at gosh only knows how many NLP Practitioner, Master Practitioners, NLP Trainers Trainings and more, the day has finally arrived that I graduate as a Master Trainer.
Now, there is of course always more to learn and the journey of a master trainer has only just begun ๐.
Thank you to those that have supported me, encouraged, guided me and challenged me along the way.
I am here cause I was fortunate enough to stand on your shoulders and for that I will always be greatful.
This includes my partner, family, friends, mentors, co-workers (past and present) and the amazing crop of recently graduated master trainers.
Thank you The Tad James Co NLP Trainings , Tad James himself, Adriana James and many more.
A big huge thank you ๐

How my Pretender Mask ๐ญ was glued to my face
This is going back when I was asked to provide commentary (as an expert) for a documentary ๐ about how music ๐ถand dance ๐ stimulate health.
I'm not going to lie it was very flattering and....
OMG ๐ฑ, who do I think I am? That pretender/impostor mask was glued to my face.
You know the one, it goes like this.
- Am I really woth listening to?
- Am I good enough?
- Am I really an "expert"?
I mean it's not everyday you have a film crew ๐ฅ surrounding you. Now your words will be recorded and captured FOREVER! You stuff up and it's on camera!
Everything and I do mean EVERYTHING is planned, measured, evaluated and confirmed multiple times.
The lighting, the sound, camera angle, where I stand, how I stand, take 1๐ฌ, take 2๐ฌ, take 3 ๐ฌ. There was no teleprompter, ability to script read.
Having coached so many individuals, kids with sporting dreams and their parents how to let their inner Champion shine, the shoe was on the other foot.
It was kinda confronting to realise I too was wearing a pretender/impostor mask.
The breakthrough came when I realised I had put that mask on myself. I had glued it to my face, or allowed it to be glued to my face.
So for the sake of the shoot, I pretended I dissolved the glue, took off that mask and embraced the unknown. Trust the film crew & director. Lean into the discomfort.
It was both a little scary and totally liberating.
Take off your mask and I promise you'll never look back ๐ช๐

โค Testimonial ๐
It warms my heart when parents who have trusted me with their precious kid(s), can feel assured they can "just be parents" and let go of having to coach their kids themselves.
Being a parent is already hard, challenging, demanding and a 24/7 activity. Doing my best not call it a j.. ๐
This young person so wanted to excel at soccer โฝ๏ธ and anxiety was getting the better of them.
๐ฅ Crippling their performance
๐ฅ Withering away their confidence
๐ฅ Destroying their belief in themselves
๐ฅ Even disliking soccer and not wanting to train, let alone play games
THAT IS NOT COOL and really pi**es me off ๐ก
Couple sessions later:
- This kid is thriving โ
- This kid is confident โ
- This kid is focussed โ
- This kid is unstoppable โ
- This kid is a Messy on the pitch โ
Wouldn't even recognise them.
๐ Parents, carers, brothers, sisters, aunties, uncle's and friends, if this resonates with you cause you know a 13yr -22 yr old struggling along, please give them the gift of a way out.
๐ DM me, tag or put "YES" in the chat and I will personally reach out to you.
Every kid deserves to enjoy and thrive in sport.

After going into overdrive for the last 2 years โณreshaping, re-tweaking and finetuning years of elite sporting experience and coaching, I am super proud to share with you I am launching the Champion Success Pathway forโฝ๏ธ football/soccer athletes wanting to consistently perform like a Champion ๐ on and off the field. And give you EVERY opportunity to nail that contract
Since as long as I can remember I have always loved sports. People then and still today tell me, sports is โjust a gameโ or โdon't be so serious about itโ or โwhy would you put yourself through all of thatโ?, or โlearn to lighten upโ. I call those people, 'DreamKillers'.
I know 'DreamKillers' are all around, setbacks are inevitable and the give up corner is only a stone throw away. Yes sports and actually wanting to achieve something in life can be brutal.
And you know what, sports can also be sooooooooooooo much more than that.
๐Sports can shape you
๐Sports develops you
๐Teaches you about you &, what you are capable of with focus and determination,
๐It is a teacher of life who's lessons are invaluable
๐It is a mirror reflecting your deepest desires and invites you to go all out chasing and actualising your dreams
You see the reason why people don't ๐ซhave what they want in life is not because they're not good enough.....and not because they're not capable enough....and not because they can't do it.....
It's because they listened to the 'DreamKillers' who probably have never ever (successfully) actualised their dreams. It's because they bought into the BS.
When you have a team around you that is in tune with your goals, has clear strategies and can handle 'DreamKillers' at every turn, you Succeed no matter what๐๐๐ช
To all the 100's of people that have trusted me with their dreams and desires over the the years is humbling......Sincerely, ๐๐๐THANK YOU. I am grateful and blessed to see you put smiles ๐on peoples faces everytime you take to the field๐โโ๏ธ and do your thing.

๐ฅ๐ฅ Living Legend Johnny Lewis ๐ฅ๐ฅ
During some interviews ๐น(before COVID) I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Lewis.
This legendary boxing ๐ฅcoach truly left me inspired.
The link to the insightful interview of how this legendary coach got the best out of his athletes will be uploaded shortly.
He coached several Australian ๐ฆ๐บ boxers to world titles ๐and is the only Australian to have made it into the Boxing Hall of Fame.
At a ripe age where society would find it perfectly normal to "slow down", this living legend continues to make waves in the boxing community.
He has now focused his boxing knowledge to coaching women and is hopeful a handful will qualify for Tokio 2021.
An inspirational coach who clearly has the respect and love for and from his athletes.
Proving age is just a number and when the right coach and athlete meet, extraordinary results can happen.
