GROWTH minded

The Noonan Performance model is founded upon years of dedicated learning and improving methods in the pursuit of world-class preparation and coaching. We value open-mindedness, reflective thinking and a mindset that looks for opportunities to continually push the needle forwards. Relentless in the improvement of body, mind and performance.

Better PEOPLE, better performers

This starts with critically evaluating you as well as your athletic abilities before we can expect to improve athletic and boardroom performance.  

PROCESS over outcome

We focus on developing team/individual capability to own the process and master fundamentals which underpin better physical, mental and game winning performances.
