NICK JOHNSTON
Athletic Thinking was established by Nick Johnston in 2017 and the concept has gathered pace quickly.
Nick has extensive experience as a High Performance Director, Consultant and Strategist in elite sport and the corporate sector and latterly in a Managing Director role. Following his service in the British military, Nick has spent nearly 20 years as part of Senior Management groups at some of the most successful rugby teams in England. He helped both Sale and Northampton Saints win the Premiership title along with many European and domestic titles. As Performance Director at Worcester Warriors, the team was promoted from the Championship to the Premiership in his first season, remaining in the Premiership.
As a practitioner in sport, his work is underpinned by a belief that for the collective to be successful, every individual has to be engaged on multiple levels in a psychologically safe environment that nurtures development in a positive, constructive manner.
He is now applying these principles successfully in the corporate world, where he is working with a group of clients who have quickly seen improvements in staff morale, engagement, health and productivity, with the business itself benefitting both financially and culturally.
Nick is also vastly experienced in setting up programmes from scratch that make sure talent is identified and nurtured through tailored pathways that ensure that individuals are achieving their own potential and contributing to the team’s overall success, producing 29 Under-20 rugby union internationals in just three years through the creation of new Academies. Athletic Thinking’s ‘Corporate Academies’ and ‘Next Generation’ initiatives introduce some of these concepts into business uniquely helping to build talent from within.
Nick is supplemented by a team of world-class practitioners from elite sport, including exercise physiologists, osteopaths and rehab specialists, women’s wellbeing specialists, psychologists, nutritionists and physiotherapists.
