Inside with Brett Hawke #276 How to Shock the World with Steve Mellor
A native of England, Steve Mellor has spent most of the 2000's in the US as a collegiate swimmer and swim coach. He then moved into coaching full time and spent almost a decade as the Associate Head Coach at LSU. During his swim coaching career he guided athletes to the heights of NCAA and was able to guide LSU's first ever American swimmer to an Olympic team in Brooks Curry who went on to win an Olympic Gold Medal.
In October of 2021, Steve turned his passion for optimizing individual performance into founding his company, Career Competitor LLC. where he serves as a Performance Coach & Culture Consultant. The company was built off a four-year old podcast also titled Career Competitor where former athletes discuss how they optimize performance in a specific field by utilizing competitive and athlete-minded characteristics.
Steve brings both his educational background and years of elite coaching into his work today. Driven by the intention to best serve the unique needs of each client, Steve's mission is to facilitate the personal growth of those he works with to help reveal and commit to their optimal self.
