ATHLETE MENTORING

Helping athletes develop their mental strength, emotional wellbeing, and resilience – not only in their chosen sport, but everyday life.

“If you’re looking for someone to help with your mindset and sports performance,
Luke is your guy! 
Luke is an incredible mindset coach,

I could not recommend a better coach!”

I’ve had the privilege to mentor and work with elite teenage athletes to seasoned professionals across a variety of individual & team sports.
The athletes i’ve worked with have competed in swimming, tennis, football, water polo, athletics, triathlon, karate, rowing, netball, rugby, and performed for professional dancing productions. I have also delivered keynote talks to national sporting teams, professional clubs, and elite development academies across the globe.

A former professional footballer who grew up in Australia competing at the highest level as a teenager, these experiences have provided me with an understanding of the pressures promising talent face, alongside what is needed from an athlete to take the step up to becoming a professional.

With an Exercise Science degree, and 20 years of working 1-2-1 with athletes to improve their performance, I also understand the physical element of elite sport from a coaching & athlete point of view.

For over 10 years I have mentored athletes & delivered keynote talks around the world on topics of building resilience, being vulnerable, why mindset matters, and the power of curiosity.

I intertwine my powerful mental strategies alongside unique thought provoking stories to the athletes & teams I work with – supporting their journey to reach their true potential.

My ability to overcome obstacles, adapt to setbacks, and see opportunities in the face of adversity is prominent throughout the world first, ultra-endurance adventures I have completed. I use these ultra-endurance challenges to further learn about the human mind, body, and our emotional resilience.

For nearly a decade, I painfully hid my dark battle with Clinical Depression, binge eating, and insomnia; alongside twice standing on tops of bridges not wanting to live anymore.

A qualified Mental Health First Aider & DBS checked, I use my powerful personal story, and the lessons i’ve learnt in life throughout his athlete mentoring, keynote talks, and workshops.

From 1-1 sessions or group talks, Luke has improved the athletes approach to being a person & high performance athlete.

More specifically, he has improved our athletes confidence & clarity of thinking.”

“The talk Luke gave at our club was unifying, heart-warming and enthralled athletes from U/13 to Masters. 

Our most demanding athletes and most sceptical were the most absorbed and engaged. 

We would have Luke back in a heartbeat; we would love to do more work with him, and anyone working with him should consider themselves very lucky; he has a special gift!“

“Working with Luke as a Coaching Mentor as been exactly what I needed to grow as a Performance Coach.
Luke is so easy to talk to, he has been there to bounce ideas off, vent to, and plan long term with. Whilst at the same time gives me tools to help improve my ways of working.
He has held me accountable & motivated me to continue to drive positive changes in the culture of the Bath Academy and the whole British Performance Development Academy.” 

“It’s hard to put into words the difference Luke has made in my ultra- running life. 

The best part is that he has made me realise what I can achieve, and how to get the most out of my training & racing.”
