The Leading Edge
Have you ever wondered what makes an athlete ‘tick’? What motivates the good to become the best? What gives the best of the best their leading edge?
Leading Edge Performance helps athletes of all ages and abilities begin to understand these questions and reach their full potential. Whether you just want to get fit or are looking to improve your ‘A’ game, we maximise sports performance by supporting your physical and mental development into not only a better athlete but a greater person.
How Sports Psychology Works
To unlock your best performance, you need more than physical fitness. This is where sports psychology comes into play. When working with mental performance and mindset services, we’ll use the psychological basis of your sport, performance-based endeavours, and current scientific research, to provide a tailored plan aimed at improving your performance mindset across a wide range of areas, including confidence, motivation, and comeback from injury.

The Standards of Sports Psychology
As a sport psychologist in training, I am registered with the British Psychological Society, which upholds the professional standard of all psychologists.
