Nick’s Philosophy
Everyone has potential…
It’s a case of unlocking the talent by delivering the right training programme. A good Coach will recognise which areas are strengths and that can be developed while also working on areas that may need a bigger focus. The skill then becomes blending the two into an effective schedule, and that works for the athlete… unlocking the potential!
Talent will take you so far…
Having the right belief system will take you much further. With a background in ‘Peak Performance’, Nick has a full understanding of how to change people’s thinking, a huge part in peak performance. Goal setting, self talk, conditioning of the mind and more. A complete toolkit to help the athlete to develop self belief.
The Coach / Athlete Relationship…
Athlete relationship is one of mutual respect and trust. On a trip to Iten in Kenya, Nick spent some time with Abel Kipchumba who had recently run a 58 minute Half Marathon, and in doing so beating the “then” world record holder. He was told by his coach… ”you are in the right shape to run 58 minutes” …So that is what he did!
CBA… CONCEIVE (the plan).
BELIEVE (in yourself the plan & the coach).
ACTIVATE (Make it happen).
