Mastering stress for peak-performance.

Welcome

Hi there, my name is Olly.

As a peak-performance coach, I have helped clients ranging from Red Bull athletes to multi-million-pound business owners, quiet their minds, optimise their sleep, manage stress, and perform under pressure.

I firmly believe that if we can master how we feel, we can control how we behave.

About Olly

While now I am able to speak confidently on stage, navigate conflict with composure, stay calm under pressure, and implement consistent, disciplined routines for my health. That wasn’t always the case.

Back in 2020, I was having a hard time networking.

Then one day, I couldn’t even walk up to a stranger to ask for directions. As I approached my stomach knotted, my head spiralled and my body froze, causing me to chicken out and walk away.

I felt ashamed, useless, a failure. How was I ever going to achieve my goals or live up to my potential if I couldn’t control these crippling feelings?

This wasn’t the first time stress hijacked my behaviour…..

When I was younger I competed in Big Mountain Ski competitions. The night before competitions, I couldn't sleep. The morning of, I couldn’t eat. My body was tense, my thoughts racing, my nerves shot. Eight times out of ten, I would crash, spectacularly. Including in the finals of the Canadian open after qualifying forth, less than 1 point behind first, WOOPS!!!

I had experienced something similar before, during school exams. No matter how much I studied, my mind would go blank the moment I entered the exam room. Anxiety hijacked my brain and body. Once again, stress sabotaged my focus and performance.

My dad and brother often used to call me “sensitive”, a word I hated. I thought it meant weak, soft. And I didn’t feel soft. But the truth was, I was emotionally reactive. When triggered, I’d lose the ability to listen or engage calmly. I’d become defensive, turning conversations into arguments. Not because I didn’t care, but because I was overwhelmed.

I became socially anxious. I struggled to ask others for help, I avoided the spotlight at all costs, and I would get cold shivers and sweat before a social event or date. My head used to spiral under pressure and my stomach would tighten.

I was constantly on edge, especially when I felt judged or insecure. That’s when my emotions would hijack my behaviour. It wasn’t the situation itself; it was how I felt about myself in those moments. Not capable. Not worthy. Not enough.

I knew it needed to change, but I had no idea how?

I had tried therapy before. It didn’t work.

I used to believe that my intense emotions were just part of who I was. “I’m just a more passionate person,” I told myself.

Then I began listening to podcasts, reading books, and understanding how my brain and body worked. My emotions were not the problem. My inability to sit with them, listen, and respond. That was the problem. If I could learn to master my emotions, then I could master how I behaved.

Understanding this, things moved FAST. I started putting myself in uncomfortable situations and learning to manage my emotions. In just a few months, I went from embracing the discomfort of smiling at strangers - to confidently speaking on stage in front of a room full of people I didn’t know.

I felt empowered, proud, and unstoppable.

My life began to change completely. I stopped getting triggered, defensive, and argumentative. I become vulnerable, connecting with people on a much deeper level. I was able to take risks, ask others for help, stand in the spotlight, and do it consistently! I began to take control of all aspects of my life. From my diet and exercise routines to my social life and work.

My life has never been the same since that day I stood in the street, frozen in fear, a victim of my emotions, unable to approach a stranger simply to ask for directions. While my external accomplishments might be what sound impressive, it’s the way that I feel about myself, the peace, and joy that I experience on a daily basis that I value the most. My ability to go after the things that I want in life, and not just to feel ok, but to quickly pick myself up and try again when something doesn't go to plan.

My mission now is to share what transformed my life. Helping others who are going through something similar. I want them to master their emotions. So they too can achieve their goals, feel empowered, and inspire others.
