Perform with more clarity, confidence and control
You can have the skills.
You can have done the training.
You can know what you're capable of.
And still find that pressure, nerves, overthinking, frustration or self-doubt affect what happens when it matters.
Mindset for Performance is one-to-one coaching for athletes, riders and performers who want to understand what affects their performance and develop the skills to respond more effectively.
Coaching is available for adults and young people, including parents enquiring on behalf of a child.
You don't need to have a "problem" to work on your mindset
Some people come to coaching because something is clearly getting in the way.
Others simply want to perform more consistently, handle pressure better, improve focus or feel more in control when things don't go to plan.
You might:
perform well in training but find competition or performance feels different
start overthinking things you normally do automatically
put pressure on yourself to get everything right
become frustrated after mistakes
find nerves or tension affecting performance
struggle to reset once something has gone wrong
lose confidence after a setback or difficult experience
be stepping up to a new level and finding the transition challenging
want to develop the mental side of performance alongside your technical or physical training
Mindset can show up in lots of different ways: pressure, nerves, overthinking, confidence, frustration or difficulty resetting after a mistake.
The first step is understanding what's actually affecting your performance.
What can performance coaching help with?
Performing under pressure
Focus and concentration
Responding to mistakes
Stepping up to a new level
Confidence and self belief
Overthinking
Recovering after setbacks
Building more consistent performance
Competition or performance nerves
Managing expectations
Frustration and emotional responses
Developing mental skills alongside technical or physical training
The aim isn't to remove all nerves or pressure.
It's to understand your responses, improve how you manage them and make them less likely to interfere with performance.
What's actually affecting performance?
Performance is rarely influenced by one thing in isolation.
Thoughts, expectations, previous experiences, learned responses and physical reactions under pressure can all play a part.
The aim is to understand what is influencing your performance, then work on the responses and strategies that are most relevant.
Two people can experience the same drop in performance for completely different reasons.
That's why the coaching is individual.
How Coaching Works
Every session is tailored to the individual and can take place in person or via Zoom.
We start by looking at what is happening, when it tends to happen and what may be influencing the response.
From there, we work on the thoughts, patterns, responses or performance behaviours that are most relevant to you.
Where useful, there is time between sessions to put things into practice, see what happens and bring that information back into the coaching.
For younger performers, coaching is adapted appropriately to their age and level of understanding.
There is no one-size-fits-all process.
The focus is on developing practical strategies and responses that transfer into the real performance environment.

Initial Discovery Call
After you submit an enquiry, we can arrange a short, no-pressure conversation about what you're looking for and whether coaching is the right fit.
For younger performers, this may initially involve a conversation with a parent or guardian.

Performance & Mindset Session
A focused one-to-one session for someone who wants to work on a particular aspect of performance.

The session is designed to give you a clearer understanding of what's happening and practical strategies you can begin applying straight away.
Sessions can take place in person or via Zoom.

4x 60 minute sessions
Performance & Mindset Coaching Programme
For someone who would benefit from working on their performance over a longer period.
Across four sessions we have time to understand the patterns affecting performance, work on new responses and strategies, put them into practice and review what happens in the real performance environment.
This allows the coaching to develop alongside your actual experiences rather than relying on a single conversation.
The aim is to build skills and understanding that continue to support performance beyond the coaching itself.
Sessions can take place in person or via Zoom.
About Lisa
I'm Lisa Todd, a Performance & Mindset Coach with a background spanning competitive sport, coaching and performance.
I've spent many years working with people as they develop skills, move up levels, deal with pressure and try to reproduce what they're capable of when it matters.
That experience shapes the way I coach.
I don't assume that every change in performance has the same cause.
Different people can respond to pressure, mistakes, expectations and setbacks in very different ways, which means the coaching starts with understanding the individual rather than applying a standard solution.
My professional training includes:
FCM Advanced Mindset Coach
Timeline Resourcing® Practitioner
Advanced Hypnotherapist
Enhanced DBS checked
NLP+® Practitioner
Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach
UKCC Accredited Coach
