More on David:

Mental Fitness Training is about developing a flexible, adaptable and dependable mindset that will reliably perform under pressure, fatigue, duress and even, debilitating self doubt. 

Much as we train the physical elements to prepare for our sport of choice, equally, we should focus on mental skills training to ensure we can perform to the best of our ability, consistently and predictably - this is where David King comes in.

David is a Mental Skills Coach and endurance athlete who has played sport at the highest levels and run across countries for fun. He is passionate about challenging the mindset that mediocre and average are acceptable outcomes for our lives. ‘We are all capable of achieving so much more than we expect of ourselves. A remarkable and adventurous future should be expected of us’.

Mental Fitness Training is about developing a long-term mindset allowing us to perform at an optimal level. Identifying the thinking patterns and behaviours that challenge our performance and then incorporating practical strategies to promote self regulation is what David is best known for.

Mental Skills Coaching with David involves him challenging his clients and helping them refocusing on their own vision, psychology and habitual behaviours. Clients then craft the necessary skills and adapt their daily cognitive performance in a balanced way – it’s not just a mindset shift but an energised motivating way of life.
