Get Sports Performance Right

Ground Rules - Contact Sports - Transgender in Sports

Ditch the ‘cookie-cutter’ approach. Delivering SPORTS PERFORMANCE is both art and science, I’ll help you with both, whilst giving thought expansion. We can all, always be better.

Using my extensive experience form being an elite sportsman, working with sportspersons at all levels, to research scientist, to giving Boris Johnson rage (!), and more, I’ll deliver the knowledge and the application, and hopefully some laughs.

You’ll understand the complex system of sport and the key ground rules to follow, and pitfalls to avoid. After all, unintended consequences are not always unanticipated. I’ll help you contextualise these rules with two diverse sets of clients.

Firstly, those in CONTACT SPORTS, the brain damaged bunch, the ones who will ALL have affected behaviour from getting repetitive head impacts. They’ll have certain behavioural effects from this. I’ll help you work with them. Policy, brain damage, and combat sports is my PhD research.

Secondly, TRANSGENDER IN SPORT, giving you insight into their experiences and specific challenges, whilst setting the record straight as what the literature position actually says, you’ll probably be just a little surprised when you find the facts don’t match the moral panic in the media. I’m a scientist in this field.

Delivering key points with the punch of Mike Tyson and the speed of Lia Thomas in the pool, I’ll put on the performance of my life and help your clients get gold, with a smile.

I'm a hypnotherapist, former professional sportsman, and a medical sociology research scientist. I authored a scholarly paper that last year prompted Boris Johnson to dedicate an entire newspaper page to it in outrage. My sporting highlights are achieving 13 world titles across 3 sports, and competed elite level at another 5. My fight name was 'Smiler', I enjoyed competition. My PhD research explores policy, traumatic brain injury, and combat sports. My additional research is in respect to transgender persons in sport.
