Unlock your mind and explode your sporting potential.

Wherever humans are involved emotions come to the fore; with excitement, disappointment, anger and relief being played out on fields, courts and sidelines all over the world, every week. This expression can lead to self-doubt and anxiety or overconfidence, which undermine the performance of not only players but coaches and officials.

Competition, inherent in the sports arena, is regularly served up with a good dose of bias and judgement and can expose a less appealing side of people. Whichever role you have, your mindset controls your experience. It is what will ensure you leave the event feeling enough, perhaps having grown and importantly, having put in a great performance.

Many kids are striving to expand their skills and stretch the boundaries of their comfort zone by moving into umpiring and reffing, only to leave a few years later because the human side of sport has become too real.

Retiring or injured athletes and sports stars can be left wondering who they are now that they don't train and compete. Many find they don't have a Plan B and fall into identity collapse and depression. Don't be caught short, reset your mind and make a plan so your transition out of sport is one of ease and purpose.
