Today I chat with performance coach Dan Haesler about how we can use the practices and mindsets of elite athletes to improve our own lives.

Dan is a performance and leadership coach who specialises in Mindset, Mental Skills & Leadership. He works with elite athletes and sporting teams, as well as corporate leaders and organisations.

Dan has worked with members of the Australian Olympic and Commonwealth Games Teams, as well as athletes from a wide variety of sports. In the NRL, he is the Performance and Leadership Coach with 3-time premiers, The Penrith Panthers and works 1:1 with the 2023 RLPA Player of the Year, Shaun Johnson.

Dan is a Director of Cut Through Coaching and he and the team work with all manner of organisations including, Boston Consulting Group, Roche Diagnostics Australia, CHEP, People’s Choice and Boston Scientific as well as schools and educational organisations across Australia. 

Since it’s release in 2021, Dan’s book, The Act of Leadership has been the best-selling Australian-authored business title (perhaps because it’s about people not business) and has been described by James Kerr, the best-selling author of Legacy as a book that will, “Change your life”.
