Five Rings Training

At Five Rings Training I train athletes and business leaders in how to take their game to the next level. Within that work some of the most rewarding journeys have been those which involved taking beginner sportsmen and women to national and world championship wins, and individuals with a dream to become successful start-ups.  High Performance is available for everyone, it is not an elite option available to a chosen few. Anyone in any chosen part of their life can decide at any time to increase their performance and capabilities and with the correct guidance and mindset the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Here are my Top 10 Ingredients to lifting yourself, your life and your capabilities to get your started: 1) Positive Feeding You simply can't expect any part of you: mind body energy or spirit to be in a good state or function well if you're not going to provide your system with positive food. By that I don't just mean nutritional or healthy, I mea...

We are all athletes, with the ability to excel in our lives, in sport, work, living and fulfilling our passions. Some of us are sportspeople competing professionally, some are athletes performing at high levels during their free time after work and others are operating at a high level across all areas of life simultaneously; family, businesses, personal goals and adventures. Whether you are a team or an individual wanting to raise your game, you want to engage in training and coaching which unifies your system in a balanced way, raising all life aspects simultaneously with the knowledge to sustain. As with all our coaching it’s about putting the knowledge, skills, awareness and power into your hands. Athlete training at Five Rings Training encompasses a fully unified programme of lifestyle, mental habits and beliefs, competitive training psychology, nutrition, time management, sleep coaching, whole body wellbeing, physical and energetic advancement as well as strengthening the ...

The route from Learning to Understanding is one we test carefully at Five Rings Training to ensure what is to be learnt is absorbed into the system: not simply facts to remember, but actual knowledge which becomes thinking tools and heightened awareness. Knowledge > Tools + Awareness It is not a process which goes from one stage of learning to another: it is an embodied comprehensive approach with intention which is identified at the outset of the learning process to predetermine the scope of the outcomes. Learning to Understanding to Action Learning to Understanding is vital for subject matter to be applicable. Learning to Action, which goes further, demands the individual can grasp the learning in such a way that we can guarantee outcomes. By outcomes we mean the ability to build, develop, take the process forward, apply the principles, utilise beyond the subject matter. To give one simple example: some of the students who train with us state they have applied the ...

We get what we focus on. I think many people have heard this phrase or similar such as "energy flows where attention goes" "you get what you think about" and so on, but what does this mean? Many of my clients speak of having spent time concentrating on what they want to achieve and then getting frustrated when it didn’t happen. There’s one simple reason for this and it’s TIME. Thinking about something and doing something about it are two different things. When we give something our time then we do both: thought and action. Thought, action and speech are our tools for creation in this life.  The more we can apply our thoughts and actions and speech to a vision or lifeplan the more energy of creation we apply to it. When we look at our weekly schedule, how much time are we giving our thoughts, action and speech towards our cause or goals? Often not very much but expecting results all the same. I work with athletes as well as business leaders and th...
