Understanding Your Experience
If you're reading this, you've likely experienced the frustration of inconsistent skill execution despite having strong technical abilities. Perhaps you perform brilliantly in practice but struggle to replicate that same freedom in competition. Maybe you've recently experienced setbacks that have shaken your confidence in crucial moments. Or perhaps you simply sense that something is missing in your preparation, but traditional coaching approaches haven't quite addressed it.
These challenges often arise not from lack of effort or technical knowledge, but from a disconnect between how you naturally process and prepare for performance and the standardized approaches most coaching provides.
The secret isn't in thinking less - it's in mastering your awareness to enhance your performance.
My Approach
to
Skill Execution
Instead of trying to change how you think or process, I use innovative video analysis to understand your natural performance patterns. Think of it like creating a precise blueprint of how you prepare and execute at your best. Then, we develop personalized pre-performance routines that work with these patterns rather than against them.
​
This isn't just video coaching - it's a comprehensive understanding of your unique performance state that bridges the gap between your technical knowledge and consistent execution.
Understanding Where You Are Now
Performance
Something's off in your performance. Not drastically - but enough that you notice. Your deep understanding of technique, usually your biggest strength, kicks into overdrive trying to fix it. But the more you analyze, the more tangled it gets. Each training session becomes a detailed self-examination, each competition a test of not just performance, but capability.
Next Level
You're pushing to break through to the next level. You understand exactly what that level requires - the technical refinements, the performance demands, everything. But as the pressure builds, this understanding starts working against you. Instead of flowing with your capabilities, you're stuck analyzing every detail, questioning every move.
If you see yourself in any of these patterns, you might be wondering why this happens. The answer lies in understanding something crucial about how pressure affects your relationship with technique...
Returning From Injury
Coming back from injury should be straightforward - you've done everything right in rehab, followed every protocol, understood every step. But as competition approaches, something shifts. Instead of trusting your recovered body, you're caught watching every movement, questioning every sensation. The more you try to analyze your way back to confidence, the more complex it feels.
A Different Understanding
While every athlete's journey is unique, there are common patterns that emerge under pressure. Perhaps you recognize yourself in one of these situations...
This isn't about losing focus or needing better mental skills. Under pressure, your gift for understanding technique deeply starts turning inward. Instead of helping you perform, it creates layers of self-analysis that get in the way of your natural abilities. The solution isn't learning to think less or ignore technique. Your deep understanding of your sport is what makes you exceptional. It's about transforming how pressure affects your relationship with this gift, so you can maintain your technical excellence while performing with natural flow.
"For elite athletes, we can integrate heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring during routine practice to provide additional insights into your physiological state during execution."
Performance Analysis Technology: In-Person and Remote
Watch how fluid and consistent this professional golfer's routine appears - this is the kind of natural, reliable performance our analysis helps athletes develop. Every movement flows with purpose, demonstrating what's possible when awareness patterns are optimally aligned.
But reaching this level of consistency isn't just about watching successful performances - it's about understanding how they're built. Through our sophisticated video analysis platform, we capture and examine your performance patterns in detail, whether you're working with us in person in Galway or remotely from anywhere in the world.
Transforming this pattern while preserving your technical excellence begins with a single conversation...

"From working with Rob over the last few years, I like to feel I've reached new levels of performance that I knew I had within, yet I did not know how to unlock. Through Rob's various approaches I gained a better self awareness of my thoughts, how I think and ultimately tools to enable me to control my emotions better. All of this enabled me to perform better when I needed to."
