ABOUT KATE
“I don’t teach mindset from theory. I translate how high performance actually works - from elite sport to real life - and invite you to use the same systems I rely on every day.”

Founder of The Momentum Academy | High-Performance Mentor | Speaker
“I believe resilience and focus aren’t reserved for elite athletes - they’re skills anyone can build.”
Most capable people don’t struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because they’re carrying pressure, responsibility and expectation, often quietly, without a system to reset.
I know this because I’ve spent over two decades inside high performance environments where results matter and excuses don’t.
My background is in professional sport, not as an athlete in the spotlight, but behind the scenes - observing how people actually perform when confidence wobbles, pressure rises and decisions still have to be made.
What I saw, again and again, was this: talent opens the door, but mindset, structure and self-leadership determine who lasts.
From elite sport to real‑world performance
Alongside my work in professional sport, I also run a multi‑million‑pound business. And the same principles apply.
Clarity under pressure. Making decisions without perfect information. Resetting quickly after setbacks. Showing up consistently when motivation dips but responsibility doesn’t.
The mindset I learnt in elite sport isn’t something I talk about in theory - it’s how I operate every day. When things are uncertain, busy or uncomfortable, these are the systems I rely on.
That’s why my work sits somewhere different.
I’m not a coach in the traditional sense and I don’t teach ideas I’ve learnt from textbooks, courses or frameworks someone else designed. Everything I share has been lived, tested and refined in environments where performance has consequences.
If you’re here, you don’t need fixing or motivating. You need a way of thinking and working that actually holds up when pressure is on.
This is my system.
It is not borrowed, licensed or taught to me by someone else. It has been built over years inside elite sport and tested daily in business, leadership and high pressure environments where performance matters.
It works because it is grounded in reality.
Alongside my work in elite sport, I also run multi million pound businesses. This is where the system is tested every day.
It is used to make decisions without perfect information, to maintain focus under pressure and to keep momentum when responsibility is high and time is limited.
My system is designed for individuals, organisations and teams who want to perform consistently, not occasionally. It supports people who care deeply about results and understand that clarity, discipline and follow through are not optional.
At its core, my system is built on five principles.
Clear, focused goal setting: Knowing exactly what matters now. Not everything. Not forever. Clear priorities that create direction, accountability and momentum.
Consistent habits: Simple, repeatable behaviours that remove reliance on motivation. Progress comes from what is done daily, not what is planned occasionally.
Decisive action: Moving forward without waiting for perfect confidence or certainty. Action sharpens thinking. Momentum builds belief.
Productive structure: Working with intention rather than overwhelm. Time, energy and focus are organised so performance becomes sustainable rather than exhausting.
Self care that sustains performance: Understanding that rest, recovery and personal discipline are essential to long term output. This is not softness. It is how high performers last.
This system is not about doing more or pushing harder. It is about doing the right things, consistently, with clarity and purpose.
It is the system I use to lead, build and perform. And it is the system I invite you, your team or your organisation to use now.
