Elite & Professional Athletes

I’m thrilled to share some big news… 🎉 My new book PlayFreely® – The Spiritual Key to Athletic Excellence will be published in mid-October!

You wouldn’t be where you are today without total commitment. But there’s one part of your game that keeps slipping through your fingers—especially before the big stage.

CONFIDENCE.

One moment you’re flying, the next self-doubt steals your spark. Overwhelm sets in. Results dip. Disappointment follows.

But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be this way.

My approach is simple but revolutionary: instead of chasing confidence, you discover the deeper source already within.

When athletes see the true nature of the zone, they stop searching for ease and peace—they settle into them instantly.

Sounds attractive, doesn’t it? And yet so many miss it.
Want to unlock your innate confidence and play your best when it matters most? Book a free discovery call: info@deniseholland.org or DM me today.

I loved this conversation with Nikon Gormley. Here are some real gems if you’re interested in demystifying pressure in sports:

Nikon teaches Executive Education at the Sasin School of Management and the Asian Institute of Hospitality Management. He founded Innerspark Group (Coaching & Training) and Super 7 Taekwondo and previously served as a National Public Radio Host for the Thai Ministry of Education.

He’s worked with organisations including the UN, YPO, Novo Nordisk, Tencent, PTT, Techstars, the Ministry of Education of Thailand, and many more—supporting leadership development, performance, and well-being across sectors.

He also draws from his background as a former professional Taekwondo athlete who trained and competed globally.

In this episode, I sit down with Denise Holland—Human Performance Consultant, Transformative Coach, and former elite athlete—to explore what it really takes ...

I loved the 3PUK Conference in London these past few days. Thank you to everyone on the team for a beautiful re-set of this fantastic annual event. Here's what I am reminded of:

💡 We can repeatedly realise the simplicity of dropping into our spiritual nature, kindness, peace of mind, compassion, humility, security, joy, gratitude, resilience, and creativity.

💡 We can wake up to the Truth of our amazingness as human life.

💡 We can slow down inside, get quiet and be still, no matter what's happening around us.

💡 We can remember it's a misunderstanding that someone or something must first change before we can feel peace.

💡 We can be aware of our judgments about others and situations.

💡 We can realign ourselves with the universal intelligence that makes us know we are alive and release the stuckness of our conditioning.

💡 We can make a radical commitment to inner peace (Marina Galan—I Loved this; thank you!).

💡 We can be aware of our cultural conditioning and the language that might offend others.

💡 We can question which golf technique to use, theirs or mine (Michael Neill—Beautiful!).

💡 We can be curious about what it means to level up and whether that's more information or a deep, profound look within.

💡 We can hold our beliefs, perspectives and opinions lightly and be open to seeing new and fresh.

💡 We can realise that our unique expression through our physical bodies and minds is fuelled by the same divine source as everyone else; separation is an illusion.

💡 We can acknowledge that creating a better world starts with each of us going inside and tidying that up first.

💡 We can know that we don't have to prove ourselves with achievements, accolades, and acknowledgement; we are already enough and always OK!

💡 We can play instinctively, freely, and curiously, knowing that the results can never define us as human beings!

WE CAN!

I recorded a session with the lovely Dr Dicken Bettinger as I continue to help sportspeople realise their spiritual nature and PlayFreely®.
