Personal Details

Bio

Ash is a performance coach with over 20 years experience of helping people make permanent behaviour changes. He develops their skills and more importantly their ability to perform on the biggest stage, having coached athletes to achieve 8 Junior World Championships, 3 World Team Championship medals, Paralympic medals and numerous appearances at Wimbledon.

Ash has worked with some of the world’s best practitioners in psychology, cognitive behaviour, change management and leadership, working towards his philosophy of building "adaptable experts": people who can think on their feet and react to the environment around them. Ash has honed a facilitative coaching style which is both relaxed and highly effective.

An experienced presenter/speaker, my current presentation portfolio is themed “What it takes to Win” and looks at how adopting the mindset of an elite athlete or adopting the systems of processes of highly successful sports programmes can help people thrive and not just survive in life and in business.

What it takes to Win

What does it take to continually deliver championship winning performances, time after time, year after year? What are the processes used by sporting systems that continually produce medal winning athletes? How do those athletes remain mentally tough under the most intense pressure so that they can deliver when it matters most?
Attendees at a typical presentation/workshop will gain an understanding of key psychological principles, including (but not limited to):
How to manage negative thoughts/fear
How to make better/more effective decisions
How to set and track goals/performance like an elite athlete
The “Secrets” of high performance teams
