Do you need to believe in yourself again?


Do you want to feel confident and perform at your best?

The Meta Athlete Coaching Program will support you on your mental-emotional journey from "pressure" to "performance". Meta, meaning change of position or condition, "metamorphosis".

No longer will you be expected to "switch on" or "get your head in the game". This program will take you on an inner journey where you can begin to believe in yourself, feel confident and handle pressure, so you can perform at your best in the sport you love.

Weekly Coaching Sessions

For 6 weeks, I will coach you through a range of mental-emotional performance tools and techniques. These include:

- Meditation
- Breathwork
- Visualisation
- Mindset & many more

You will explore these topics via the live weekly online group sessions. Sessions will run on Tuesday evenings 7.30 pm till 8.30 pm AEDT.

Live session replays will be posted on your learning portal so you never miss a session and can go over content again in your own time if you wish.

Note: Once having completed the course you have access to the online portal for 180 days, where you can access all content and live coaching sessions.

General Course Outline (Weeks 1-6)

These topics are a collection of the lessons and experiences that my teachers have taught me or helped me to uncover for myself over the past decade. I am excited that I can share this journey with you in such a condensed and easy to access way. I know I wish I had this as a resource while looking to establish myself in high-performance sport.

The reason I am so passionate about the Meta Athlete Coaching Program is because I used to feel "not good enough". I struggled to feel genuinely confident and found it hard to express myself on the sporting field and in my role as coach. I wasn't able to access my skills and individual qualities under pressure and as a result, my performance and general satisfaction in life was sub par.

The Meta Athlete Coaching Program is a road map to support you in finding your own authentic performance, so you can feel confident, handle pressure and perform at your best in the sport you love.

Benefits of Meditation

Your Meta Journey

  • Re-build Your Confidence

    Life happens and can leave us feeling off-centre. Within the Meta Athlete Coaching Program, you can let go of the negativity from the past and learn to understand and integrate those lessons, arriving back to your confident ways, so you can perform at your best.

  • Inner Performance

    Tools like meditation and breathwork empower you to create a stronger inner connection to yourself. Once you become more inwardly focused, the external noise from coaches, selectors and needing to achieve results generate less pressure.

  • Love The Game

    When you're not feeling "good enough" there is no amount of training that can make up for that void within. Re-connecting to your "why" and where your journey began are important internal pillars that elevate the joy and love for your sport.

Testimonials

Performance

Jim Colley - Australian Sailing Team Athlete

"This lifestyle change has permeated my sailing career, where I find myself loving all the challenges my sport has to offer. Recently we have been working on visualising racing and regatta scenarios ahead of the world championships and Olympic Games selection. I am feeling more prepared and confident than ever, and this is just the result of spending 6 months with Mitchell. I can’t wait to see what the future brings, the possibilities are endless”.

Mentoring

Jackson Walls - Professional Race Car Driver

"Mitchell is a big part of my support network, transforming my confidence, helping me to remove self-doubt and teaching me mental preparation, mindfulness and breathing exercises to ‘stay in the zone’ during times of increased stress especially before racing. Mitchell's programming has significantly improved my performance mindset, focus and resilience".

Breathwork

Nick Azzone - Professional Footballer

"I learnt many things from Mitchell but one of the most eye-opening was the concept of breathing into my heart space. This breathing allowed me to focus my energy in the direction I wanted, align myself and control any feelings of nervousness or anxiety upon a certain task. Even during training/game, it allowed me to control my breathing and even settle my heart rate".

Mindset

Mo Rajani - High-Performance Football Coach

"What I learnt from Mitchell has helped me to take a different perspective on who I am and what I believe in, every experience that I have and what I truly want out of my life. But what is even more powerful, I’ve learnt how to get myself into that flow state of mind to be able to flood my mind with those things at will - which is a massive takeaway for me".

Meditation

Evelyn Haseldine - Australian Sailing Team Athlete

"Mitchell has helped me not just to excel in sport performance but has shaped my personal development. I have found meditation assisting with my outlook on situations I can’t control and learning to become content with progress. I cannot recommend Mitchell’s new program enough if you want to parallel daily success in your personal life with that of sporting performance".

Emerging Talent

Declan O'Donovan - Amateur Golfer

The meta athlete course and especially the work I’ve done with Mitch Woods over the past 6 weeks has impacted me so well it’s a joke! The areas we focused on such as meditation, breathing, self-talk, etc are just some of my favourite aspects of the Meta Athlete. These areas better prepared me for fully diving into my struggles and weaknesses, learning from them, and turning them into strengths. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to better their athletic standpoint, regardless of their mental or athletic level.

Coaches Feedback

His coaching has educated our athletes on how to manage pressure and how to remove the ‘fear of failure’. He has helped them understand themselves better and instilled self-belief.
