Small margins, big dreams

Dreams create a vision

Targets create a plan of action

Dreams may come true

Targets can definitely be achieved

Working TOWARDS a dream is key

Working ON targets is more important

Targets are in your control

Dreams are often not

Without attention to targets you will less likely achieve your dream

Targets are about marginal gains over and over again.

Targets are the part of the equation

Dreams are the sum if the equation.

In professional sport, athletes dream of winning things, being in big events, playing in front of massive crowds, being top of their game.

But their focus must be on incremental gains of targets they set themselves.

Sir David Brailsford is known for his philosophy on marginal gains, the 1% increments needed over time which then build up to bigger gains.

Athletes can make 1% very easily with little effort.

1% better sleep
1% better morning routine
1% better hydration
1% better nutrition
1% better footwork
1% better phone use
1% better breathing
1% better goal setting
1% better warm up
1% better gym work

The list is endless and all of this counts towards the dream.

Visualize your dream
Set your targets
Make small gains over and over again

The rest will take care of itself

If you are an athlete looking to improve your game - I will help you create marginal gains in every aspect needed so you can move closer towards your dreams.
