Sam’s Story

“I’ve yet to meet anyone who wouldn’t benefit from prioritising sleep and self-care. Leaders, elite athletes, and high performers all make this a central part of their routine. I live by The 6 Pillars of Performance, and so do my clients.

Over time, I’ve realised that the right routines, sleep strategies, and self-care aren’t just about performance, they’re about being the best version of yourself for those around you. It’s helped me tremendously, and now I want to help you do the same.”

6 Pillars of Performance

I developed the 6 Pillars of Performance to show that improving each area, habits, recovery, mindset, focus, movement, and energy, even by just a few percent, can create major positive changes in performance, wellbeing, and life. It’s a simple, practical framework to make sustainable high performance achievable.

  • Recharge smarter.
    “Improve your sleep and recovery routines so your body and mind can restore, energize, and perform at their best.”

  • Train your body, fuel your mind.
    “Optimise physical activity to boost energy, strength, and resilience, without burning out.”

  • Eat for performance.
    “Simple, practical strategies to fuel your body and brain for focus, energy, and long-term health.”

  • Master your mental game.
    “Develop clarity, focus, and confidence to handle pressure, stress, and high-stakes situations.”

  • Set yourself up for success.
    “Build daily routines, behaviours, and surroundings that naturally support your goals and high performance.”

  • Balance that supports performance.
    “Create routines, boundaries, and habits that allow you to thrive professionally and personally without compromising your wellbeing.”

Your potential isn’t just built in the gym or at your desk, it’s restored in your sleep, sharpened in your habits, and unleashed in how consistently you show up for yourself.
