Coach: business and sports mindset

My three passions are people, business and sport; particularly running! These are combined in my coaching business as I work with many and varied people in both business and sport. My focus in business is stepping up to leadership, managing change and transition; particularly within dynamic and scaling businesses. My current focus with sport is working with aspiring elite young athletes as they navigate the challenges of their mindset and mental strength alongside their performance training and development. The next step for my business is to also work with athletes as they transition from their sport to the 'what next'..?

This hopefully means that I am well positioned to facilitate this interesting discussion; bringing together ex-athletes and business entrepreneurs. I use sport in my business coaching and business in my sports mindset coaching as there is so much crossover and synergy. I wish that I knew about mindset coaches, when I played lacrosse for Wales, whilst navigating the start of my career, many years ago.

My background prior to coaching covers business development and marketing. I am a farmers wife and daughter; so know all about hard work, being outside whatever the weather and being entrepreneurial and innovative...The benefit of farming is that I have a life balanced between Shropshire and London and have beautiful countryside to clear my mind in whilst running.
