Fun Comes First, But Work is Essential
If it’s not fun, then why do it? Fun is where it all started for everyone, so Ti will always endeavour to keep that vibe alive. However, to progress at any activity, hard work is a non-negotiable.
Although, as the old saying goes:
‘Find something you love to do, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life’.
Finding the balance between work & play will be a collaborative effort, but expect to be pushed beyond your level.
Real growth begins at the end of your comfort zone!

Competition & Demo Strategies
Being a World Skate accredited judge, as well as personally having had decades of competition experience, gives Ti a direct understanding of how to assist with concisely crafting runs that will maximise scoring potential, and feel great to do. However, sometimes runs don’t always go to plan, so strategies for spontaneous recovery will be integrated into the program.
Much like competitions, public skating demonstrations generally require the standard of skating to be at a certain benchmark.
However, pleasing a demo crowd isn’t necessarily the same mindset as consistently placing well in competitions. The relative freedom & positive energy of a demo session can often assist in landing new & difficult tricks.
Mindset Maintenance
Life can sometimes seem repetitious and tend to follow patterns, but every new moment can offer us new opportunities. Our minds are similarly in a constant state of flux, continuously processing thoughts to best navigate any given scenario. Hence, maintaining stability of one’s mindset is crucial for succesful outcomes of any performance-based activity.
Complementary to focus, strengthening the mindset will also be assisted by encouraging the utilisation of various tactics.
Turning Setbacks into Opportunity for Growth
Things don’t always go to plan, so a perceived failure such as a missed wall or obstacle, particularly in a high stakes scenario such as during a competition, can make or break us, leaving us either calm and ready to move on, or, alternatively, to lose our composure and crumble into anger, frustration, and “why’s” or “what if’s..”
Ti can offer practical solutions for dealing with setbacks adapted to the individual.
Facilitating Focus, and Finding the “Flow State”
Focus is arguably the most important element to the successful achievement of anything worthwhile in life.
“Flow State” is something akin to the pinnacle of focus. It is like focus with no perceived effort. Therefore, enhancing it is the key to growth.
Reaching “flow state” more readily, maintaining it and keeping focused, can be assisted by utilising various methods, which will be explored and tailored to each skater where appropriate.
Social Media Smarts
Social media can be great for one’s image and getting your skating to do the talking. However, one ill-chosen photo or clip posted publicly can potentially ruin anyone.
Ti can offer guidance with how to curate one’s chosen platforms, enhancing engagement, but without turning off any current or potential sponsors or organisations.
Understanding the Industry & Sponsorship
Through extensive time in the industry over numerous roles, including team managing, Ti has a deep understanding of the in’s & out’s of sponsorship, and can assist with making the right choices in representing brands & companies that align for all parties.
Injury Management
Injuries are also part of the package of skating, and can lead to extended time off the board. So seeing the right therapists, and filling any so-called “downtime” with positive actions and thought processes is key to bouncing back quicker, and more resiliently. Through having undergone several surgeries due to skate injuries, working through them and coming back, Ti has ample experience to assist in this realm!
