Jack’s coaching has completely changed the way I approach my game. His focus on mindset and preparation helped me stay composed under pressure and trust my abilities in the biggest moments. Thanks to Jack, I’ve been able to perform consistently at my peak and enjoy the journey more than ever.

Working with Jack was the turning point in my career. He gave me the tools to build confidence and handle setbacks, which were holding me back early on. Jack’s belief in me and his strategies for mental preparation made a massive difference in my transition from a rookie to a regular starter.

Seeking guidance and taking on coaching with Jack has been really eye opening for me. I had found myself feeling stagnant and as if I were on a hamster wheel in a cycle I was struggling to break. The conversations, dedicated follow ups and, at times, a bit of a push where needed from Jack, I’ve identified areas of my life I can manage more effectively and other areas to focus on to work towards living my ideal life.

Coaching with Jack came along when I felt that I had no spare time. Within our first few sessions, I had restructured my time outside work, had challenged and improved my ways of thinking, and I had started to feel more in control of my life, managing my time, and making greater steps towards achieving my goals.

You have been a great listener, and always pinpointing the areas of growth and when to celebrate small personal wins.Even when I didn’t think I’d grown or changed, you were able to highlight how I had. You are very gentle in your approach but always express the truth. I really enjoyed your open door policy and it helped me contact you if something came up and was considered urgent, I was able to seek that support outside of our sessions.

After working with Living in Growth, I've had a massive improvement with my mindset both on the field and off. The coaching Jack was very helpful to me, helping me set clear and specific goals that I can accomplish, like grow as a person, stay mentally strong in tough situations and learn to overcome the hard times with a positive attitude. Starting my journey with Jack was a bit unexpected, I was in a weird position in my life, but I wouldn't change anything. He has helped me be more confident in myself, physically and mentally. Everyone should feel so lucky to have someone like Jack in their life.

I've always loved sport and been lucky to play various at a high level – Swans Academy since I was 10, plus Division One rugby league, rep cricket and rugby union. But after breaking my leg and then getting a serious concussion, I lost a lot of confidence. Even when I came back, I didn't feel like myself. I knew I had the skills, but I couldn't find my rhythm. After the All Schools AFL State Championships, I was frustrated and questioning how to get back to where I wanted to be. That's when I started working with Jack. Honestly, it changed everything. Within a few weeks, I felt different – more confident, more focused, and ready to play the way I know I can. Live in Growth taught me how to handle setbacks, stay positive, and trust myself again. The last part of the season was unreal. Even though I missed Swans U16 benchmark selections, I finished strong and got invited into the GWS benchmark program. Most importantly, I'm loving my footy again and excited for what's ahead. Jack didn't just help me with sport – he gave me skills I'll use for life. If you're a young athlete struggling with mindset, I can't recommend Jack enough.

They're have been so many things that Jack has improved my mindset through all aspects of being an athlete, with the struggles both on and off the field. The service Live in Growth has provided has been extremely helpful with me getting closer to succeeding my dreams. Your mental mindset is just as important as your body physically, and Jack has really showed that to me. The activities that he provides to help shift the dynamic of your mindset from a negative to a positive have really helped. The activities are (journalling, visualisation, outlining your goals, breathing techniques). Just changing the small things can lead to big outcomes. That has been a major thing Jack has taught me, and I really remember that through everything in life. The program that Live in Growth has created goes for 10 weeks. I saw massive progress from weeks 1-10 when I was doing the program, I have now come back to continue post program to continue smashing my goals. My biggest breakthroughs in the first 10-weeks was my self confidence. I really struggled with self confidence on the field with my marking, worrying about if I would execute the skill right. Now my marking is one of my strongest skills, I didn't realise that my mental state could affect my physical skills. I learnt that your mentality is just as important than your physicality.

Since I started working with Live in Growth 10 weeks ago, I have seen significant growth in myself, my approach to life and my ability to combat stress and nerves pre-game. Jack has helped me to strengthen my confidence by finding consistency throughout everyday such as stretching and journalling before bed every night. He has provided a tool kit to me which has enabled me to grow my self-belief both on and off the field and to find trust in the people around me, my abilities and the process of life and footy. Live in Growth has supported the development of my growth mindset which has enhanced my ability to approach games confidently and to remain present and conscious throughout the whole game. Overall Jack has been a huge support and help towards the progression of my dream to play AFLW in the future.

I can't speak highly enough of the support and guidance Jack provided me throughout the program. The different tools and techniques to view difficult situations in a positive light has really transformed my mindset to be more focused, resilient and have more belief. I am very grateful for the assistance Live In Growth has given me.

Working with Live in Growth has helped me overcome a lot of the anxiety I used to feel around my performance in games. I have learnt how to reset my mind after mistakes instead of letting them affect the rest of my game. I also learnt practical methods to help stay composed and focused before and during games such as the 3-3-3 breathing method and other trigger words as well as actions to get myself into the right headspace to perform. These sessions have also helped me overcome challenges outside of sport and has had a significant impact on my social and spiritual life.

It's no secret that the path to professional sport is a very tough and long journey with many highs and many lows. I've been working with Jack for 4 months and I can't thank him enough. He has guided me through my self doubt, a big injury that resulted in missing trials & supported me through many disappointments. Live In Growth have opened my mind up to the mental preparation & visualisation I need to succeed. He has taught me to stay conscious in high pressure situations so as performance anxiety doesn't get ahold of me. Being an elite athlete is a whole process, if my mind is right, my emotions are in check and I've prepped in a structured and healthy way all week, I know I'll be at my best. My mind will affect my physical performance so it's crucial to get this step right. Live in Growth has taught me to trust the process, trust in my training and believe in my coaches and the people around me. Having these systems in place, helps me to do what I do best and that's playing footy. Thank you Jack. I am grateful for your guidance.
