Athletes might well be able to achieve success on their own. However, with a coach, they achieve success much faster and more definitively:they've set their goals, a pathway to achieve them and they've been coached all the way. In a great team, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. You and your performance coach make a great team that can make far more happen than solely two individuals working alone.
People use life performance coaching in different ways. Some come to it because they feel themselves stagnating and losing their passion for life and its journey; others come to it because they've found themselves at a crossroads and need to work through some decision-making. There are other reasons for life performance coaching -finding comfort in your own skin and your pathway; learning skills to manage particular challenges; acquiring the ability to discipline emotion and thoughts and so align more effectively with goal-achievement behaviour. There is also a group of people who see life performance coaching as a method to fine-tune themselves and further raise their happiness in life, or for that of their children.

"Through the years I have worked with Miranda, she has helped me develop personally and professionally both on and off the field. Miranda has helped the team and I deal with many significant issues throughout her time at Queensland Rugby including change of head coaches, player suicides, team disharmony, leadership issues and team losses. Each player knew you could call on her at any time and she would drop anything to provide immediate assistance." Professional rugby player.

I wrote Fitter, Faster, Stronger, Smarter (FFSS) for my clients and radio listeners to have reference material on the coaching process that I use. Whether you're a sporting or corporate athlete, or wanting to coach the best in others, you'll find it an easy-to-read, systematic guide to performance enhancement. I am also working on my second book.
I give seminars, workshops and keynote presentations on the varied elements of performance coaching for sport, business and life around the country. I also facilitate strategic team meetings and frequently develop workshops and talks for private organisations in business and sport. Please contact me for further information.
