HIGH PERFORMANCE MENTORING
by Phil Godman, Founder of 5Star Sports
about ME
EMPOWERING ASPIRING ATHLETES
As a former professional rugby union player with 15 years at the highest level, I bring a wealth of experience and insight to mentoring aspiring athletes. My career began at just 18 years old, representing Newcastle Falcons, Edinburgh Rugby, and Scotland, earning 23 international caps.
Beyond rugby, my youth was marked by competing in multiple sports at regional and national levels, including football, tennis, and squash, before focusing on rugby as my professional path.
MY MISSION IS TO INSPIRE ASPIRING ATHLETES BY EQUIPPING THEM WITH THE MENTAL TOOLS, RESILIENCE, AND CONFIDENCE TO EXCEL, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. MY COACHING IS BESPOKE AND TAILORED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS.
WHY HIGH PERFORMANCE MENTORING MAY BE FOR YOU
- You want to develop a resilient and focused mindset to perform under pressure
- You’re looking to unlock your full potential in sport and beyond.
- You need strategies to manage stress, fear, and self-doubt effectively.
- You want to build long-term confidence and mental clarity.
THE MENTAL ASPECT OF ELITE SPORT
I am passionate about the mental aspect of elite sport, a field I see as vastly underexplored. The mindset of toplevel athletes is the critical factor in their success, and the potential for growth in this area excites me immensely.
MINDSET
Alongside my sporting expertise, I am also an accredited Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) coach and, in 2024, completed a Vedic Meditation course at the London Meditation Centre. I now practice twice daily and strongly advocate its benefits in enhancing focus, resilience, and overall well-being.
