The ability to shift your attention on to what matters, in the presence of pressure, stress, and immense opportunity is the most valuable skill an athlete can have."Whether an elite athlete, weekend warrior, aspiring junior, performing artist, or doctor - it doesn't matter - we all have brains that are essentially caught in a struggle between doing what matters and what feels comfortable. In high stake moments, doing what is comfortable and what is helpful for performance are often different behaviours. That's why rather than seeking comfort, it is important to learn how to be comfortable with discomfort". Fundamentally, performance when it matters is about training the brain and educating the mind to focus on task relevant cues and staying composed (with presence) in the moment.I work with elite and professional athletes (and their team) competing around the world at the highest level including Olympics, Professional Golf Tours, Pro Cycling, Pro Basketball, and Tennis. I operate by:Bringing together the best science from fields of neuro, cognitive, and performance psychology.Delivery of knowledge in a practical, real-world manner that can be applied in the moment, to performance.Consulting using creative and thought provoking methods that engage audiences and adherance to performance techniques.My work typically focuses on:Accurately formulating the challenge for my clientsPerformance under pressureEnabling athletes to become comfortable with the uncomfortable to enhance performanceCultural and Environmental change within sporting teams and organisationsAthlete recruitment (an area that requires innovation)I hold a Masters of Applied Psychology from The University of Queensland as well Honours in both Psychology and Sport Science.To contact me, visit my website www.pspc.com.au, danieldymond.com or send me an LinkedIn mail
