What is Champion Thinking?
In my book Champion Thinking, I draw on my interviews with some of the world's sporting legends to redefine how we understand - and pursue - success through eight key lessons.
In a culture that frequently worships at the altar of productivity, growth, 'self-improvement' and 'success', what if the contentment we are all looking for isn't somewhere out there - but is actually so close that we're overlooking it?
To answer this question, I explore the stories of elite athletes - from Frankie Dettori and Jonny Wilkinson to Lucy Gossage and Kate Richardson-Walsh - who have reached the loftiest sporting heights. Through their journeys, I unlock eight essential lessons for finding fulfilment, peace and happiness, and question the cultural myths that have developed around sport, life and success.
From how to cultivate a skilful way of relating to our thoughts and feelings, whatever their content, through to developing togetherness and a deep sense of belonging, all while avoiding burn-out, Champion Thinking will redefine what it means to find true success.

I also work alongside my wife Alex, a Reiki master, yoga nidra teacher and sound healing practitioner. Through our retreats, as well as my videos, 1-1 and group coaching, I help you spot – and change – the unconscious patterns holding you back from living an expansive life, and move you from separation to connection with self and others.
