PERFORM YOUR BEST
WHEN IT MATTERS THE MOST
Most performance problems aren't physical. They're mental.
You know what to do, but under pressure, something gets in the way. I help you close that gap with practical, measurable mental skills training.
Who this is for: Competitive athletes, expedition leaders, and high-performers who want measurable results, not vague mindset work.
66% Less Anxiety | 30% More Confidence | 60% Less Stress | | In 6 weeks | Measured via scientifically validated assessments.
I'm Jon Watkins. Former Special Forces operator, now mental performance coach. I help athletes, adventurers, and high-performers master the mental and emotional side of performance.
YOU KNOW THE FEELING
The pressure hits, and suddenly you're not yourself.
You overthink. You tense up. You can't perform the way you know you can.
Maybe you lost confidence after an injury or a bad run of form. Maybe you can't get out of your own head. Maybe you just know there's more in you, but you can't reach it when it counts.
You've put in the work. The ability is there.
But in the moments that matter, you hold yourself back.
This isn't a talent problem.
It's a mental skills problem. And unlike talent, mental skills can be trained precisely, progressively, and with measurable results.
That's exactly what I do here.

HOW IT WORKS
I don't do generic "mindset coaching." This is skills training. Practical skills you can use immediately, adapted to your specific situation.
PHASE 1: IDENTIFY
We pinpoint exactly where you're losing performance.
What triggers your overthinking? Where does confidence break down? What patterns keep repeating?
PHASE 2: BUILD
You learn the specific mental skills you need.
Pressure management. Focus techniques. Confidence skills. Pre-performance routines.
Not theory. Practical skills you can use this week.
PHASE 3: APPLY
You use these skills in real situations, and we refine as you go.
What's working? What needs adjusting? How do we make this automatic?
The goal isn't just to perform better once. It's to build mental skills that last.
CLOSING LINE:
Most programs run 8-12 weeks, depending on your goals and timeline.
Everything's remote (video calls). Fits around your schedule.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Q1: I'm not a professional athlete. Is this for me?
A: Yes. I work with everyone from club players to Olympic hopefuls, weekend adventurers to expedition leaders. If you're serious about performing better under pressure, this is for you. The mental skills work at every level.
Q2: How much time does this require per week?
A: One 90-minute session per week, plus 10-15 minutes of daily practice. Sessions are remote (video call), so no travel. Everything fits around your existing commitments.
Q3: How quickly will I see results?
A: Most people notice a shift within 1-2 weeks. Significant, measurable improvement typically shows up by weeks 6-8. The data backs this up: a 60-66% reduction in anxiety and stress, and a 47% increase in resilience.
Q4: Is this confidential?
A: 100%. What we discuss stays between us unless you choose to share it. Many people prefer to keep this work private, that's completely fine.
Q5: How is this different from sports psychology?
A: I'm not a psychologist, and this isn't therapy. It's practical skills training. You learn specific techniques (breathing, focus, pre-performance routines, confidence protocols) and we drill them until they become automatic. Think of it like strength training for your mind.
Ready to Close the Gap?
You know you're capable of more. You know something mental is holding you back. The question is: how much longer are you willing to wait?
