About

You have already done the work.

You have achieved more than most people will in a lifetime. You have had the coaches, the psychologists, the performance consultants.

And something still feels unresolved.

Not a performance problem. Something deeper.

The industry told you to manage the inner voice. Control it. Fight it. Build mental toughness against it.

I taught that for seventeen years.

I was wrong.

The voice doesn't need to be managed.

It needs to be understood. Accepted. And then — for the first time — you need to stop trying to do this alone.

Your best performance was never something you created through greater control.

It was always something that moved through you when you finally stopped gripping.

I spent thirty years learning that. Through loss, failure, a marriage that almost ended, a brother I held as he died, and a life that kept bringing me back to the same lesson.

The moment I stopped trying to control it — something lifted.

Not just at hockey. In everything.

This is not a methodology.

It is the one thing nobody else will tell you.

About

I am a performance coach, author, and athlete based in Prague.

For the last two decades, I have worked with CEOs, athletes, and artists across the world — helping them let go of control and find the path they were meant to walk.

I played for Great Britain across eleven World Championships and coached Team GB to their first ever Division One gold medal. In 2026, I represented the Czech Republic at the 2026 Veterans World Championship. We won.

My first book, Managing the Mist, was published in 2013. My fifth book, Surrender — Letting Go of Control and Finding the Path You Were Meant to Walk, is in progress.

I live in Prague with my wife Lucie and our children.
