“I use this on a daily basis inside my company.”

“I use this on a daily basis inside my company.”

That’s how Will Foden describes the application of his Mental Skills learning at Built For Pressure.

In his testimonial, Will talks about developing his interpersonal skills, simplifying his consultancy process and connecting physical preparation with mental performance. He also describes becoming more aware of his own thinking and responses.

We’re delighted to hear what he’s taken into practice. Thank you, Will, for sharing your experience so generously.

What skill would you like to develop further as a coach: listening, questioning or managing your own response under pressure?

Our next Mental Skills Level 1 intake is February 2027. Explore the program via the link in bio.

If someone knows exercise matters but keeps avoiding it, what would help you understand why?

Paul Batman joins Tarek Michael-Chouja and Jay Hedley in Episode 8 of Inside the Performer’s Mind to explore participation, purpose and how our reasons for training can change.

Paul shares the experience that reshaped his approach to fitness, reflects on training intensity and describes people finding movement through everyday activities and community. They also discuss prolonged sitting and why a scheduled workout may tell only part of someone’s activity story.

For coaches, there’s plenty to consider before prescribing the next session. What does the person enjoy? What would greater physical capacity allow them to do? Where could movement fit into their day?

What have you learned about a client that changed how you approached their training?

We are also excited to share that our next Mental Skills Level 1 intake has been announced for February 2027.

Part 18 of our illustration series explores lumbo-

Part 18 of our illustration series explores lumbo-pelvic rhythm: how the lumbar spine and pelvis coordinate during a forward bend and return to standing.

As you bend, the pelvis rotates forwards relative to the thighs and the lumbar spine flexes. Both contribute to moving the trunk forwards. Hip and lumbar extension contribute to the return.

For coaches, the point is to observe where the movement comes from. Watch the pelvis and lower-back curve throughout the repetition, rather than judging the movement only by how far the person reaches.

Someone may use a different combination of hip and lumbar movement on the way up than on the way down.

What do you notice first when watching a forward bend?
