Jon Pitts

I am a Human Performance Coach/Mentor specialising in helping individuals achieve their best potential and desired results in either the sports field or corporate world (http://www.jonpitts.co.uk/). Based on some core skills and beliefs I have a strong desire to develop the best in High Performance in both teams and individuals. With an initial background in Sports Science, I studied Neuroscience to fully understand as a Performance Coach/Analyst what makes the best better. My background spans both the corporate and sporting worlds to give me a unique perspective as to how the human brain and body cope with performance under pressure. In 1999 I co-founded the health and fitness solutions company Motive8 and spent 10 years in its growth and development, gaining an insight into the many facets of business performance. Interaction with talented corporate leaders allows me to transfer and apply support and development structures between sport and business. Companies can benefit from the change management and executive development programme I have designed to help companies and executives achieve targets. Tailored strategies include : Evaluation, Design & Development of High Performing programs, Coaching skills for managers and leaders, Evolve Mindfulness, Confidence and Resilience, Support Structures for individuals and teams. I’ve worked within mainstream and high risk professional sports. Additionally, as part of two Olympic campaigns, I’ve worked within both the EIS and AIS HP systems and can help sports bodies develop their HP programme to achieve optimum results. I have led the development of the professional rider and jockey training with BRS. I have been an advisor to the PJA, BE, the BHA and the BE as part of the World Class Program in all Olympic disciplines. Currently Performance Psychologist to Somerset CCC, Performance Analyst to Australian Equestrian Teams, as well as continuing to offer support to sport and business clients worldwide.
