MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING 

David (DK) is one of Australia’s premier Mental Skills Coaches who currently works with the Australian Wallaroos Rugby Union team, as well as the ACT Brumbies SuperW Rugby team and Aussie 7s men’s players. Additionally, his work in schools and sporting academies is building a generation of athletes with a deeper understanding of mental fitness and what it takes to perform consistently at the highest level.

After a professional career playing Rugby League and Union in Australia and England, David became an extreme endurance athlete running across deserts and entire countries to test the limits of human potential and explore endurance psychology. Whether it is the Sahara Desert, the English Channel, the Camino de Santiago or running his charity, David has made a habit of exploring transferable mental skills to be successful at any level. His master’s degree in performance psychology allows him to link evidence-based research with practical and sports specific strategies to improve the mental fitness of aspiring and professional athletes.

Applying a wide variety of mental skills strategies allows DKs athletes to compete with confidence and consistency in front of the biggest crowds, at the highest levels.  These strategies are not exclusive to packed stadiums though. Every athlete from novice to international, benefits from Davids practical and transferrable skill set. He is wildly passionate about ensuring all individuals lead an extraordinary life, fulfilling their potential and doing it with confidence and purpose.
