I lead driven individuals to find direction, create strategies and accelerate toward the greatest ve I help driven individuals to fulfil their true potential.

To create a robust, strong and durable body. To forge a tough, resilient and flexible mindset. And to effectively lead and communicate with those around them, and those who would depend on them. If you’re reading this.. The chances are that you feel like you’re currently living to 10% of your true potential...

If you have no interest in expanding on that, living life on your terms, challenging yourself and breaching the door of your true capability, then stop reading here. This is not for you. But if you're the person who knows they can achieve more.. Who has worked hard, professionally. Who has shown, in a former life, you have the fortitude and capability to be a physical specimen.. But has, for some reason, fallen in to bad habits, negative self talk and a state of low-self confidence? Then this is for you. We can lead you to not only re-gain your former glory, but surpass it. Send me a DM to find out more.

Is it big enough?

Those who are fortunate enough to have had an education, who are healthy, and who have had great work experiences…

Should not be solving small problems.

If you were born lucky, you have it within you to solve big problems.

It is an act of courage to pursue that calling.

To be values led and live with purpose.

But have you considered the alternative?

Living moderately.

Percolating in mediocrity.

It is said that true hell is when the man you are…

Meets the man you could have been.

You do not have the luxury of wasting bandwidth on trivial distractions.

Most burnout doesn't announce itself.

It starts with small compromises. Missing the gym once. Skipping lunch to handle one more thing.

Working through the weekend just this time.

Six months later, those exceptions are the rule.

The body keeps score even when the mind pretends everything is fine.

Here's what makes it dangerous: burnout originates from resentment. And resentment comes from self-abandonment.

Every time you put yourself at the bottom of your own list, you're making a deposit into that account.

Eventually, the balance comes due.

The warning signs show up quietly. By the time they're obvious, the damage is done.

Prevention is easier than recovery. Always.

When was the last time you checked the balance?

“What a privilege it is, to be tired from the work you once prayed for...

“What a privilege it is, to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about”.

4 hours. 40lbs. 3,648ft climbing today.

7 weeks until the worlds toughest expedition race.

When that day comes; we will be required to cover 30 miles per day, towing 100lb pulks (sleds), in temperatures of -40 Celsius…

For 10 days.

293 miles. Against the clock. Self supported. On Skis.

No matter the outcome, which is never yours to promise…

There is untold and incomprehensible strength and growth to be gained simply by passing the mirror test each day.

That is how you deal with “pressure”.

Everybody pities the timid and the excuse makers…

Pressure, you have to earn.

There are only two choices.

Control your mind.

Or let it control you.

That’s it.

No middle ground.

Every time you delay action, you hand over control.

Every time you let fear dictate your decisions, you hand over control.

Every time you scroll to avoid the thing you know you should be doing, you hand over control.

We like to pretend we’re neutral.

That waiting, avoiding, procrastinating is just “pausing.”

But it isn’t.

It’s a decision.

And every decision either strengthens your agency…

Or erodes it.

The hardest pill to swallow?

You already know this.

Deep down, you can feel the difference between running your mind…

And your mind running you.

So stop pretending you have infinite time to figure it out.

Pick a side.

Because not choosing is still a choice.

Looking at ‘what can go wrong’ isn’t helpful…

If it’s all you do.

Instead, we must learn to focus on the outcomes of ‘if it goes right’.

This is known as “selective attention”.

If you’re always thinking about what can go wrong…

You will continue to focus exclusively on that - until it materialises.

Truthfully, creating success is not that hard.

It doesn’t require genius, or even that greater intensity.

Simply consistency in deliberate actions.

Professionally, it’s about who can consistently deliver and be seen to be doing so.

Physically, who can routinely illicit the stimulus and trust the process.

Personally, it’s about patience with oneself when making mistakes…

And responding with accurate thinking, instead of reacting with volatility.

What gets in the way...

Is your past experiences colouring your present day thoughts.

“It won’t work”
“I don’t have the money”
“It might fail”
“I’ve been let down before”

What you fear, you enable.

You create self fulfilling prophecies.

You must retrain the mind.

We must become expansive and curious…

Instead of constricted and judgemental.

Call it visualisation, call it whatever you will.

It is simply quietening the mental noise so that one can think accurately and act consistently.

It is at the very core of what we do at Uncharted Performance.

Success belongs to those who can keep doing, without seeing the immediate reward of those actions.

A hard truth…

Having a goal simply isn’t enough.

Winners and losers start each year with the same list of goals…

But attain wildly different outcomes by the end of it.

It’s not the goals that separates us.

It’s not because they, you, aren’t smart or capable enough.

It’s because you’re still deciding.

“Should I do this new program?”

“What he said makes more sense, I’ll switch to that”.

“I should have figured this out by now, I need to do more.”

Bouncing through the year like a pinball…

Hoping, guessing and going around in circles.

Impacted by every self limiting belief and shiny new thing.

That’s why most end up exactly where they started, year after year.

Most men aren’t in the situation they’re in through choice.

They just stopped moving forward and sunk into the quick sand of life.

Do not allow yourself to get sidetracked for another year.

I’m a better person for doing hard things.

Getting out of bed feels easy compared to digging yourself out of a snowed in tent in -10 on minimal sleep.

Turning up for your partner feels easy after missing them dearly.

Going to the gym feels like a reward after seeing what your body can do for you, if you ask it.

Gratitude comes so much more readily when you realise you never “needed” most of it.

Eating fresh, whole, home cooked foods feels easy when you’ve experienced depletion, hunger and lived from packets.

Patience with others is so much easier when you’ve met your own flaws in moments of weakness.

Most people would be far better off…

If they periodically and voluntarily put themselves in a much worse situation.

Back to training in England’s green and pleasant land…

4 hours, 30lbs and one very excitable pup.

joining for the first leg, before peeling off to attend to more important matters (securing the choccy milk…).

8 weeks to go until the Arctic Spine.

Squeezing every morsel of training adaptation out of these coming weeks!

We like to think in terms of wins and losses.

Success or failure.

Progress or setback.

But life doesn’t work like that.

There are no “side effects.”

Only effects.

You worked late to get the promotion.

With the side effect of missed training.

That was a choice to sacrifice training for the promotion.

You ran more and got fitter.

With the side effect of losing strength.

That was a trade of fitness for strength.

Cause and effect.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

The problem isn’t the trade-offs.

It’s pretending they don’t exist.

Random inputs never create predictable outputs.

If you want control, you need clarity.

You need to see the puzzle for what it is.

Every decision has a price tag.

The question is never “did it work?”

It’s “was the trade worth it?”

You do not get to decide your future.

You get to decide your habits.

Your habits dictate your future.

Who’s holding you accountable to yours?

08/12/2025

It’s like inviting your Boss to come and watch you sleep.

Yet so many men are still doing it.

You might think it’s harmless.

You might think you’re smart enough for it not to be an issue.

You might say you’re sleeping anyway.

All three are prime examples of lies you tell yourself.

I’d also push back that the architecture of your sleep is categorically compromised because of it.

I’m talking about sleeping with your phone next to your bed.

If you’re ‘falling straight to sleep’? It’s simply because you’re exhausted.

That’s why you still don’t feel energised when you wake up…

And the very first thing you do upon wake is reach for it.

Your nervous system knows that your phone is there.

Not only that, it knows what’s contained within it.

The people you think are doing better than you, on social media.

The work email threads.

The meeting requests.

The slack notifications.

All of it. You are not smarter than thousands of generations of evolution.

It’s such a fundamental basic…

But without these simple habits in place…

You are absolutely wasting your time on anything more complex.

Think I’m full of s**t?

Try leaving it downstairs for a week. See what happens.
Small hinges open big doors.

Night time dysfunction absolutely creates a suboptimal day time.

Criticism is unavoidable.

Everyone has an opinion about how you should live your life.

But the reality is,

You’ll never be criticised by anyone doing better than you.

Think about that.

The people ahead of you don’t have the time or interest to drag you down.

They’re too busy building, creating, improving.

The loudest opinions usually come from the cheapest seats.

The people who aren’t in the arena.

The ones who’ve never risked anything themselves.

So why take their words so seriously?

Why give so much weight to people who aren’t living the life you want?

Criticism stings.

But most of it tells you more about them than it ever does about you.

So keep building.

Keep moving.

And remember where the voices are coming from.

Start here..

Let’s start with Why. I help guys get the Muscle, Body and Confidence they’ve always dreamed of but never been able to achieve.

Having coached hundreds of guys, and myself, from a place of not being happy and confident with how they look.. I know how frustrating it is when nothing seems to work. Nutrition seems so overwhelming and knowing which Training plan to follow can create nothing but anxiety. That’s why everything I do is geared up to help Guys get leaner, build muscle, feel more confident, be happy with what they see in the mirror and reap the rewards in their lives.
