He has worked across a wide range of sports and sporting contexts including:

• Six Olympic campaigns with athletes and coaches in sailing and rowing

I learnt how to manage my time by prioritising what needed to be done. Learning how to make better time based decisions ultimately helped me focus and allowed me to concentrate on the race ahead. In the end I found I actually had more time to think!

Through Mick’s help I discovered ways to remain positive and get the most out of every situation, my confidence and self-esteem strengthened and I finally felt I had a support network around me so I could achieve the results I’d aimed for. Rarely will a sporting coach be able to match his or her athlete on the field but, of course, that is not their job: a coach adds value by assessing their athlete, enhancing their talents and finding ways to overcome their weaknesses. An exceptional coach will continually innovate, will look outside the traditions and usual practices of any one sport to help their athlete achieve more than they thought was possible.

Really appreciate your time last week and just want to thank you again. From a personal note, I was genuinely impressed with your presentation. You have an ability to be able to relate to police, particularly when you related examples back to policing. The feedback I have received from my colleagues is that everyone took away some key messages and were equally impressed with your method of delivery.

Using the Mynd’s Performance application, coupled with one-on-one training with Mick left me feeling fantastic and mentally equipped to tackle anything that came my way. The event was a positive one and as a team the K1, Australian Women’s Match Racing Team achieved all the aims we had set in place finishing 5th overall from 24 teams and qualifying our country for the 2012 Olympics.
