Jayne Storey

Jayne Storey has gained a standout reputation in sport with her highly unique approach to helping athletes overcome nerves, anxiety and mental interference – the three main stumbling blocks to performance - which can affect individuals and teams from the committed amateur to those at the very top of their game.

The usual solutions put forward to dispel these are very often on the same level at which the problems arise; for instance, athletes struggling with technique are asked to rework their grip or swing or hire a different technical coach; those suffering with anxiety are taught mental game interventions like positive thinking and for the athlete who gets overly-analytical similar interventions are used.

Unfortunately, all of these so-called solutions fall into what Storey has identified as “thinking about moving” or “thinking about thinking” and they serve as short term solutions at best and at worst contribute to even higher levels of stress as the athlete attempts to “get it right”.

With a background of almost 40 years in the martial arts and formal Buddhist meditation, Story’s approach surpasses these strategies and takes audiences beyond the mental game. She created her Chi Performance method in 2004, based on traditional ways that predate psychology and biomechanics by hundreds, even thousands of years, helping athletes get to the root cause of performance anxiety and offering a solution that is simple, proven and trusted by those who love sport in over 25 countries around the world.

She invites audiences not only to experience her methods but to develop their own daily Performance Practice and gain the many benefits of a quiet mind and a physical state of relaxed readiness so that, as she says, “team mind-body” can be called upon to help with preparation and performance - even under the most intense pressure.
