HIGH-PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY COACH, FOR ATHLETES WHO WANT TO REACH THE TOP OF THEIR GAME.

HEY I’M RACHEL COLLINS

I’ve been involved in sports since I was five, competing in swimming, triathlons, and later orienteering, where I was selected for the regional squad at 14. My goal was to represent Great Britain at the senior level, but after contracting Lyme’s disease and being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I had to step away from elite sport.

This forced break left me questioning my identity and struggling to adapt to life without the sport I’d known for so long. I had to rediscover who I was and learn to balance my passion with my body’s new limitations.

This challenging journey taught me that peak performance goes beyond physical training and nutrition—it’s just as much about the mental and psychological aspects. This insight inspired me to become a coach, helping athletes break through their own obstacles and perform at their best, no matter what challenges they face.
