The Power of Winning: Lessons from Coaching the World’s Top 1%

The Power of Winning: Lessons from Coaching the World’s Top 1%

Throughout my career, I’ve been privileged to work with some of the best athletes on the planet—those who are not just talented but who also possess a mindset that puts them in the world’s top 1%. These individuals push boundaries, redefine limits, and inspire millions around the globe. My experiences working with athletes like Noah Lyles, the fastest man in the world, and the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team, inspired me to write "See Your Elephant: Discover What's Holding You Back from Your True Potential".

But why write a book about this journey? Why share these extraordinary athletes' mindset strategies and lessons with the world? The answer is simple: the lessons I learned from working with the world’s top 1% are not limited to the track, the court, or the bobsleigh run—they are universal. They apply to every person who wants to reach their own potential, regardless of the field they’re in.

The Common Denominator of Success

Working with winning athletes taught me that success is as much about the mind as it is about physical ability. The world’s top 1% think differently. They take risks, they embrace challenges, and they turn adversity into fuel for their journey. I wanted to share this mindset with everyone—whether you're an aspiring athlete, an entrepreneur, or someone simply looking to break through personal barriers.

My book, "See Your Elephant", is about recognising the subconscious barriers that hold us back—our 'elephants'—and learning how to confront them, just like the athletes I’ve worked with. From Noah Lyles' relentless focus to the resilience of the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team, each story is a lesson in perseverance, vision, and self-belief.

Why the World’s Top 1% Matter

The top 1% are not just different because of their talents but because of their mindset. They understand that setbacks are part of the journey, not the end. They visualise success before they step onto the field. They know that every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger. This is what separates them from the rest, and this is the core of what I teach.

By sharing the mindset of these elite athletes, my aim is to inspire others to apply these same principles in their own lives. It’s not about becoming an Olympian (though it could be!), it’s about using these powerful lessons to become the best version of yourself, whatever your goals may be.

A Guide to Reaching Your Full Potential

Writing "See Your Elephant" allowed me to encapsulate the strategies, mindset shifts, and practical tools that have helped the world’s top athletes win. I wanted this book to serve as a guide for anyone ready to make a significant change in their life—someone ready to move beyond 'good enough' and step into their greatness.

Whether you’re standing on a starting line, sitting at a boardroom table, or facing a personal challenge, the lessons from the top 1% are there to empower you. The path to greatness starts by recognising what’s holding you back and taking deliberate, intentional steps forward.

Join Me in Discovering What’s Possible

If you’re ready to step up, confront your ‘elephants,’ and harness the power of a winning mindset, I invite you to read "See Your Elephant". The top 1% are proof that when you align your mind and your purpose, anything is possible.
