Andy’s Areas of Expertise

  • Andy’s services are based on decades of experience in business and elite sport.

    ‘The opportunity to work with uniquely talented and committed clients and help them ‘reach the top’ is a great privilege.

    The philosophy behind my service is the better my clients are mentally and physically, the better their lives will be. They know their lives can be far better than they are now but don’t know how to begin improving it.

    I help guide them to design their most remarkable lives – I can challenge them and hold them accountable, always with honesty, sensitivity and total confidentiality. We leave the technical help to other professionals in related fields of expertise.’

    This is distinctly elite performance advice, rather than psychology, counselling, fitness or financial advice, although Andy has extensive experience in referring clients to these other specialists when a need is identified.

    The Elite Performance Advisory is delivered in 3 modes, ranging from personalised advice, through to mastermind group programs and retreats. All programs are by application.

    • 1:1 - Andy works directly and privately with elite perfomers over a minimum period of 3 months. Each program is tailored to the individual.

    • Peer Groups - Groups of 8 - 10 across an organisation, or groups of like-minded individuals. Programs are delivered monthly via a combination of in person and virtual meetings.

    • Development Retreats - tailored experiences for personal and professional growth, facilitated by Andy, with other relevant guest speakers also participating. These retreats are open to Andy’s clients, or by invitation and application.

  • Andy is an experienced and engaging presenter, interviewer, facilitator and keynote speaker. He shares generously about his experiences and learnings with his warm, open approach, teaching audiences about both business and sport. His refreshing insight into how the two have more in common than you may think is entertaining, challenging and inspiring.

    He has held various sports media roles in radio and television over an initial 10-year period, with now regular media appearances on behalf of the Hawthorn Football Club, as President.

    Andy has experience in presenting across a variety of settings, to audiences of all sizes – from small group presentations to large educational and corporate environments.
