Karyn Garossino Brings the Principles and Skills of Sports Psychology into Business

Somehow, we've come to believe that excellence is a gift bestowed on just the chosen few. The so-called superstars. I don’t believe this. I believe excellence resides in all of us. You will, of course, have your own definition of excellence, depending on your pursuit. Irrespective, the critical performance elements to achieve excellence are universal.

This is my conclusion from over 40 years of immersion in the application of human excellence through:

• Experience competing at the highest levels of elite sport

• Training and coaching thousands of people in the skills and techniques of high performance

• A Master’s degree in Psychology, grounded in adult development and communication

• Remaining current with the latest thinking and research into high performance and human excellence training

Simply, I understand the impact of challenges and know what it takes to grow and thrive in business and sport. I am passionate about sharing my insights and to help you achieve what you want. I know from personal experience, the difference it makes to have a professional by your side, looking out for just your interests.

All those participating in sport play a role in making it a positive, life enriching experience.

Most want success, yet at its extreme, competitive spirit can create an emotional minefield that impairs performance and undermines well-being.
