I am a former professional badminton player and a personal/career coach and
speaker. I have spent over 15 years exploring, trying and testing many personal
development principles whilst on the world stage of elite sport to help me
create and instil high quality habits and thought patterns. This helped me to
deal with the pressure of high level performance, to dare to dream bigger and to
set and reach high quality goals. I was not a ‘natural’ at my sport but coaching
took me to the top 20 in the world. You may think sports coaching is different
but its all about personal transformation on the inside and out. I competed in
the very demanding discipline of women's singles before finishing my sports
career at the age of 35. Other highlights of my career were becoming Englands
number 1 ladies singles player, 5x National Champion and achieving commonwealth
and European medals. I am a driven, optimistic and highly motivated person. I
strive for excellence and aim to always push my boundaries and reach beyond my
comfort zone. I can be serious and I can be fun loving. My current hobbies are
yoga and salsa dancing. Whilst being immersed in the 'masculine' world of high
performance I like to maintain the femininity in me too. The art of balancing
these two sides is what brings out my best self.
