Mindset:
Unlocking the invisible skills of top performers.
“The real secrets to performing at the highest level exist within the minds of top performers.
So our job is to unlock the mindset you’re going to rely on at every stage of the process.”
Eilidh Doyle (Eilidh Child) - Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic medalist
“I started working with Mike after the London 2012 Olympics, having had a disappointing games. I had always known that your mental strength in sport was just as important as your physical ability but until I had met Mike, I didn’t know how to train or use my mind efficiently. Through the training and skills I have learned with Mike, I now see myself differently as an athlete and know I can perform the way I want to at any competition.”
Peter Waterfield - Olympic silver medalist, Commonwealth gold medalist
”Jumping off a 10 metre diving board is very scary and can instantly make you think negatively if something doesn't feel right, but Mike gave me techniques to instantly switch my way of thinking and this is a brilliant tool when on the competition stage.”
Jody Dunleavy - former Head of Press at EMI Records
“Mike Cunningham has an innate understanding of the challenges performers face. He’s developed a unique set of highly effective techniques to help performers face and overcome those challenges. I can highly recommend Mike”
Adelle Tracey - Olympic athlete & Jamaican National record holder
“I have had the privilege of working with Mike for nearly a decade, and his unwavering support has been a transformative influence on both my personal and professional development.
I am truly grateful for the positive impact he has had on my journey, and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking to elevate their mindset. Thank you Mike!”
I’m Mike Cunningham. I’ve spent nearly twenty years working with highly skilled people in various fields to discover how they use their minds to produce great results.
Sportspeople I’ve worked with have won Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic medals.
I’ve worked in different sports such as track and field athletics, diving, BMX and golf. I've worked with athletes from both the British and Jamaican national teams ahead of setting world leading times and breaking national records.
I’ve coached actors who’ve appeared in TV series including STAR WARS - The Mandalorian (Lucasfilm/ Disney), Stargate Origins (MGM studios), Marvel Agents of SHIELD (ABC studios / Marvel Television) and Dr Who (BBC TV).
I’ve also enjoyed working with the next generation of performers at leading institutions including the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, the Royal College of Music and the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art, LAMDA.
Acting clients have won roles with the Almeida Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company and appeared in musicals including Hamilton, Frozen and The Phantom of the Opera in London’s West End.
I've trained a variety of performers from the BBC whose specialist fields range from TV presenting to comedy.
The bit about STAR WARS is the only thing my teenage stepchildren have ever been impressed with.
