Two 7 Performance was born out of the need for specific skill acquisition, in most forms that can be categorised as High Performance. The ability to perform when the pressure is on has been the field of Elite athletes, those able to grab the ball with a few seconds left on the clock and make their trained skill look easy. How do they do it? Those performance skills are learned through practice and lessons similar to the skills we all aquire in our lives from our teachers and trainers we learn off for our day to day jobs. 

In a faster higher paced work environment we are seeing these performance skills learned on the game field cross over into every industry we work in, every job is being put under more pressure to perform and the one with the ability to stay calm and perform will be the person to create their own higher success. We are here to help with our experience from Professional sports teams to Olympic level competition and World cup level Coaching our experience in clutch high pressure situations can give you the tools to perform at your highest level.

About Me

My Favourite memories growing up have come from sport, at a young age of 5 i played Rugby league and as i grew competed in Cricket and track and field loving the hurdles and high jump events. I focused on rugby league signing a contract playing with the North Sydney Bears but stopped from continued shoulder injuries. At 21 i Competed for Australia in the downhill mountain bike world cup but after 6 years retired from again 2 shoulder surgeries. After mountain biking i took up the sport of skeleton where i Competed for Australia at my first World Championship in 2011 in Konigssee, Germany. Gaining AIS, OWIA and NSWIS athletic scholarships i qualified and competed in skeleton for Australia at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia finishing with Australia’s highest ever result of 17th. Four years later i again qualified and competed for Australia in skeleton at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeong Chang, South Korea finishing 19th.

I am a qualified Mountain Bike Instructor holding a PMBIA level 1 certification and a CSI accredited Coach. I love the technical skills of mountain biking and the adventure it brings working as a tour guide in some of the most beautiful places around the world.

My Passion

6 Years ago i got the chance to experience one of the most satisfying experiences in my life, Sport had given me the ability to express who i was in a competitive way, to push where i wanted and to relax and enjoy when i wanted. Sport like many fields we get to mix with in life allows us to feel highs and lows, mistakes and success, work with others and team or just push ourselves and interact in a field with the ability to perform how we want. Like anything worth pursuing our choices large or small all have consequences and it is the qualities we portray daily that allows us to become who we want to be. Navigating these challenges under the banner of sport left me with the experience of achieving something at one time i thought to be impossible, the realisation and creation of this dream culminated in an event that i can be proud of for life and the feelings associated with that is what i feel life energy is all about.

The skills to navigate that road are not easy and as the old saying goes “if it was easy then every one would do it.” The ability to turn away from the easy and take the first step into the hard with an ideal end goal in mind can be described as – High Performance skills. It is in this experience that my passion for high performance was born, the ultimate self realisation and joy that comes along with a performance that you can confidently say is one of your best is a sensation all can feel and should pursue. With this in mind Two 7 performance was born along with a passion to share and coach the skills with experience from a high performance environment to not just achieve the goals but to realise the joy of you being the one that creates that success by stepping towards your own power and what you alone feel and envision for your life.

It is with this goal in mind i hope to share and guide your own vision to fruition not, just in the sporting arena but in the field that you enjoy most. The inspiration to become the best version of yourself comes in many shapes or forms and has endless possibilities as to what you want to achieve however the principles and mindsets to perform at your best remain the same. The situations and road blocks that confront you all have semantics no matter what field you are in. It is my passion to be able to pass along these lessons with personal coaching and guidance that enables you to feel that overwhelming joy of being the absolute best version of yourself that you wish to be. It wont be easy but if it was would it really be worth it? That ideal self is waiting there,  but you have to take that first step!
