Recovery

testimonials

In my endeavours to maintain the high standards continually achieved by the Australian Cricket Team, Andrew has always been a very consistent and positive resource. Whether he be working inside the environment on a day to day basis, or assisting me to keep my focus and energy on the things that matter, Maysie has been outstanding! His understanding of the requirements of both players and leadership alike allows for a consistent message to be delivered, ensuring the individual and the group are always given the best opportunity to deliver their skills to an optimum level. Elite performance should never be taken for granted, and whether it be in the corporate or sporting world Andrew ensures the principles are adhered to and results follow - something that is not easy to achieve but an enormous credit to himself and his ability!
Tim Nielsen, Coach Australian Cricket Team

I have worked with Andrew on both a personal and professional level. His thorough understanding of elite performance (from both a physical and psychological perspective) sets him apart. His Science of High Performance philosophy is a winning formula for success and I thoroughly recommend his services to any person or organisation wanting to get the best out of themselves or their team.

High Performers sustain their energy levels

I can almost time it to the day we wrap up a big project and 2 days later I’m in bed with the flu

I always crash on holidays and feel flat most weekends because I just work so hard during the week

I know I should relax more but I’ve just got too much to do and sometimes feel even more stressed when I do try and switch off

Recovery is about the way you recharge. High Performers understand they need to find a balance between the amount of time they spend in stress (sympathetic response) and the amount of time they spend in recovery (parasympathetic response). They have strategies to help them utilise and recover energy throughout the day, month and year. Taking time out to recharge supports you in sustaining peak levels of performance for longer periods without burning out.
