Lizzie Simmonds OLY

Team Coach

At just 15, I earned my place on the senior team, embarking on a twelve-year journey filled with triumphs at the World Championships, Commonwealth Games, European Championships, and two Olympic Games. My retirement in 2018 marked a shift toward a profound interest in human performance psychology. I began delving into the inner workings of success, examining factors like motivation, effective goal-setting, handling pressure and navigating setbacks.

I soon realised that these principles extended beyond the realm of sports, prompting my transition into coaching and training in the corporate world. Here, I have effectively translated the familiar systems from my athletic career into a universal language for individuals pursuing diverse goals.

Alongside this, I've been leading workshops on topics like habit formation and stress management since 2018. Despite this pivot, I maintain a connection to elite sports as the Vice Chair of the British Olympic Association's Athletes' Commission, where I advocate for athlete well-being and mental health.
