Single Focus Performance Environment - Environments with the sole purpose of winning. All decisions are centred around the win.

Hybrid Performance Environments - Environments or organisations that have a dual, or multi focus of creating sporting performance (winning), in alignment with something else, for example here, building positive well-being to optimise humans for performance. Decisions are aligned to both. There is the belief and understanding that they are interconnected and that one, when done effectively, enables the other.

Better people make better performers.

High performing people aren’t just those people who can technically and tactically understand and play the game. The most effective coaches and most coachable athletes, the greatest leaders, and those who stay in sport the longest, are those people who:

• Maximise relationships, can communicate effectively & manage conflict within the team.

• Are receptive to feedback, open minded to learning, self-sufficient & who build the ability to take risks at critical moments.

• Understand the balance of making decisions to build their physical and mental health for longevity in career, as well as for the immediate moment.

• Develop strong support mechanisms and are competent at emotional regulation, self-management of allostatic load, ensuring maximum availability.

• Have a strong sense of self, identity and purpose within sport and beyond it. They are more than ‘just’ an athlete or coach.

• Understand the need for balance and are able to flex it to ensure step back, refill the tank, then step back into sport ready.

• Are equipped to mentally and emotionally manage themselves with pressures, demand, social media, and the influence of the wider sporting ecosystem

• Are flexible and are ready for the multi-layered transitions experienced in different phases of a sporting career.
