A lot is asked of the professional athlete

A lot! And much like the professionals, those who seek to reach the pro standard also ask an incredible amount of themselves.

Reflecting on my own journey to - and throughout - professionalism, the pressure I placed on myself, along with being told exactly what to do and when to do it, often left me at a loss at to who I really was, and whether professional-level athleticism was what I even wanted.

The pangs of ambition, aspiration and influence are real (and often quite sharp). My chosen sport was Australian Rules Football and after a fortune-filled first season I learnt pretty quick that it ain’t all roses in the big league.

It was at exactly this point in my career that a personal coach, a coach of the mind - hell, even a guru or a mystic - could have well-advised and instructed me on how best to follow my own path and realise my own potential within the confines of the club and the league as a whole.

“It’s like an athlete going to a coach. The coach tells him how to bring his own energies into play. A good coach helps him to correct his own natural mode… to recognise what the possibilities are - to give advice, not commands” - Joseph Campbell

As J.C. said, “to give advice and not commands” - and in the process, help you realise your highest potential - is the game I’m in now. If you sense you could benefit from my decades’ experience as an athlete who loved to compete (winning numerous premierships, best & fairest’s, VFL team of the year selections, Rising Star nomination at AFL level etc etc), along with 10+ years research and practice in philosophy and meditation, get in touch now and let’s get to work!

I’m here to help you go ALL IN with your chosen sport, your chosen profession, and to help you realise your aspirations - your gifts that are unique, your talent that is divine - both on and off the playing field. So, let’s get to it!
