An elite sport approach to enhancing the performance of people, business and schools

Nick understands the big picture and operates at such a level it encourages those around him to up their game and achieve on the highest platform. Personally, for me he has been an outstanding mentor who helped shape my career and my development as a high performance coach and mentor.

What was refreshing was that this was not an 'off the shelf' product. The first engagement involved identification of issues specific to our business, and Nick really took the time to explore what was working and what was not currently working for us. It was such a tailored solution to our business and our people. The resulting interventions have given us a fresh approach to how we run our business, how we manage our team and how we do all of this efficiently.

We looked for re-focusing and regrouping with energy and a plan. Nick instantly engaged his audience by adding the 'human element'. His in-depth knowledge around high performance in elite sport and the close relationship it plays in business was thought provoking and hard hitting. It felt like a revelation; he is a fantastic coach.

I have known Nick for a few years and it has been a pleasure to work with him as he has expanded his broad and deep experience into the corporate sector. Nick takes the time to listen and to understand the issues and dynamics of a business and uses his considerable experience to develop detailed strategies to support its development and growth. As a result, positive and enduring outcomes are achieved that deliver great benefits to the company, its shareholders, employees and customers.

I have known Nick since 2008 and have worked closely with him during my career. He has this ability to really understand people and how they tick. This has helped me enormously - Nick always listened to what I felt worked best for me and helped implement positive changes to ensure I am the best I can be. He also has great intuition into what is required to make sure the team is prepared correctly.

Without doubt, Nick is one of the best (if not the best) High Performance Director I have encountered in Europe. Nick has a reputation as a tough, focused and thorough strength and conditioning practitioner. He is a winner and understands the multifactorial aspect of success in high performance sport. On a personal level, Nick has been extraordinarily generous with his time and counsel. Nick's advice, guidance and friendship have been invaluable to me.

In the six years that I worked for Nick I was part of an innovative team that grew in ability, assurance and achievement thanks to his guidance. As an Australian female interested in working in sport in the UK he opened paths for myself and my female colleagues that many other teams and sports would not have offered. Nick will find the right person for the job, regardless of who or what they are, and he will drive you to achieve your best ad the best for the team. The impact he has on a team and their ability to succeed is second to none.

Nick has enjoyed immense success in every organisation he has worked in. He has the ability to create and energise high performance environments and embed structures and processes that generate outstanding results on the pitch. Nick is very personable and thrives in the constant challenge of professional sport. I've learnt a lot from Nick and value his advice.
