OFFBALL Athlete

In this killer conversation we dive into psychological performance and the foundations of a fulfilling life in sport and beyond. We go deep into our personal philosophies, life experience and what we be believe to be true.

David subscribes a growth mindset and is passionate about the journey being the reward rather than the end result. He seeks to instil virtues in the development of both his business clients and athletes alike while promoting a practice rooted in quality over quantity. His calm, cool and inviting way of thinking is so inviting and there is deep knowledge within this conversation for all people interested in living a more fulfilling, joyful and intentional life.

Episode 2 is a conversation I have been looking forward to for a long time and it didn't disappoint! You may notice some references to "audience builder" as we recorded this episode live on facebook and instagram to deploy a shout and echo technique as a part of his current online leadership course.

Wes is a fun, dynamic and authentic leader in the social space through his "Creating Space Movement" podcast. He is about to drop a world leading educational tool call "Social Media University" which is open to anyone who wants to build their social audience and influence to make the world a better place.

Wes is a retired pro MLS soccer player but you'll find out that title didn't come easy as his story is one full of challenge and self discovery. Fast forward to the end of his career where Wes was forced to go deep inside himself to find happiness and fulfillment. This process allows him to speak from a place of deep understanding as he had to find his "unique dance" and now helps people find theirs through personal and professional growth.

Give Wes a follow as he is one of my fave guys to learn from!
