Welcome my name is Dave Diggle.
I am the Co-founder and Director of Diggle de Doo® Productions and the Smart Mind Institute™
We are the leading specialists in the field of High Performance Sports Mind Coaching.
Renowned for our consistent success and for our unique and successful approach to the high performance world of elite sport - we are proud of our results as they speak for themselves.
With more and more professional athletes utilising our services, we are giving them the performance edge and ensuring their sporting and professional careers sustainably reach potential.
We work on creating peak mind performance, turning physical ability and technical training into the difference that makes a champion.
Dramatically improving sporting performance - consistently increasing competition results - pragmatically maintain sustainable training programmes, strategically remove performance anxiety and in the event of injury speeding up and manage the rehabilitation process.

We have changed the way many top athletes, coaches and sporting organisations the world over view their profession, training methodologies, competitions preparation and the way they obtain results. We achieve this through a specific combination of physical and psychological conditioning programmes, high end mind training and our professional and yet personal approach to the needs of all involved.
Our mission is to improve the learning and performance capabilities of athletes the world over through the effective understanding of human behaviour and targeted Sport Mind Coaching that is at the cutting edge of neural science.
So what sets us apart is what we do better than anyone else, we de-construct and interpret behaviour and understand why people react the way they do when faced with specific situations and pressures; then we rebuild tangible, working strategies that better manage and improve performance and sustainability in a fast and effective way.
Our ground breaking 'Smart Mind Programme©' and neurological science base is demystifying the realms of traditional competition preparation, elite training programmes and is playing a major role in the development of modern day sporting culture. Gone are the days of just plugging away to reach the top - now it is a carefully crafted and calculated process.
As elite performers, we react and perform the way we do because of our cultivated, in-built triggers and our own pre-set behavioural blue prints (or, Neurological Points of reference) that do not always serve us to our best outcome.

I am driven by my passion for supporting, nurturing and educating athletes, coaches and parents on how to do it smarter.
As a former senior British international Gymnast, I have learnt quite a bit in my 35+ years in the professional sporting world about passion, dedication and discipline. From day one I became totally immersed in the world of high level competition. I developed an obsession for pushing and exploring my physical and psychological boundaries - and gymnastics initially gave me that avenue.
I believe it was the nature of the sport, the quality of the coaching and the peer influences that developed a keen purpose, passion and discipline in me, the same qualities that helped shaped me into the dedicated and focused person I am today.
|
After retiring from competitive gymnastics, I was intent on developing and passing on what I had gained from my sport and my exceptional elite training, so it felt like a natural progression to then move into a coaching and teaching career, initially based in the UK, then the USA and now Australia, although I travel the world consulting to athletes, coaches and sporting bodies.
From my experience working both within the private sport sector and the education system, I honed my emphasis on effective communication and understanding of human behaviour, believing this to be one of the keys to success. However I quickly established the standard models of modern communication and teaching were not enough for me and I guessed for a great many others - I knew there had to be a better way, a smarter way and I was determined to find it.
|
So I began my research into the performance of the human brain, our neurology and our quirky behaviours, after studying many different disciplines of behavioural sciences, I quickly realised no one discipline held the magic key to sustainable performance, the key to behavioural understanding or it's modern day mastery.
However, by blending many different key components from psychology and behavioural philosophies I found I was successfully creating sustainable long-term performance results, increased learning capabilities in athletes, students and coaches and reducing fatigue based injuries.
Now, with a much deeper practical knowledge, of Psychology, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Neuro Linguistic programming (NLP), hypnosis and behavioural science my hands on clinics and training programmes offer todays athlete and coach a much more targeted opportunity to excel in international competition.

I know first hand what it takes to overcome the odds and achieve - and its not just hard work or repetition - its a carefully constructed scientific approach:
