Who I am

I'm Sian...

I am an Executive & Well-being Coach in Performance Sport and an Elite Athlete Well-being & Management Specialist and Educator.

I have 2 decades of experience working in both High Performance, University (Collegiate) & College Sport & Education.

The sports, athletes and coaches that I currently & have previously worked with include:

  • Men’s and Women’s Bronze, Silver & Gold Olympic & Paralympic medallists

  • World Champions

  • European Champions

  • 3 time Women’s Premiership Rugby winners

  • College & University (Collegiate) sport winners.

More About Me

  • These values are my cornerstones in life as well as my work

    1. Connection: The effectiveness and level of impact in the coaching work is dependent on openness, vulnerability & honesty

    2. Learning: Coaching is dependent on you and I being open to learn about ourselves and how we operate in this world and in our roles. It is what enables transformation, evolution & mastery

    3. Service / Vocation: For me, this is empowering people to make positive change - in their lives, and in other people’s. The ripple effect of helping to optimise and empower Head Coaches & leaders in sport is huge. Therefore the impact of this work doesn’t stop with them. It makes sport a better place for people to fly & inspire others to do so too.

    4. Adventure: Life is an adventure; people, relationships and sport provide a huge opportunity for adventure - exploring something new, being curious & purposeful and seeing what’s possible & where it takes you

    My Anchor: Health & Well-being

    My Passion: Understanding the person behind the performer

She’s so skilled at encouraging you to see problems from a different perspective in order for you to reach important decisions yourself.

“I first started working with Sian at a point of burnout and high stress in my coaching career. Sian helped me to develop a healthier perspective of my work, and to carve out invaluable time in my schedule to reflect and recharge. Together, we developed strategies for dealing with the challenges I was facing, the pressurised sporting environment & to help me effectively lead the people I was coaching & managing.

I would recommend working with Sian to any leaders in the performance sport industry who are looking to improve and maximise their wellbeing, experience and longevity of coaching career”
