Biography
Jayne Storey is a Performance Practice Specialist and the multi-bestselling author of Breathe Golf, Connected Golf and The Athlete’s Ascent.
She has gained a standout reputation in sport with her highly unique approach to helping athletes overcome nerves, anxiety and mental interference – the three main stumbling blocks to performance - which can affect individuals and teams from the committed amateur to those at the very top of their game.
The usual solutions put forward to dispel these are very often on the same level at which the problems arise; for instance, athletes struggling with technique are asked to rework their grip or swing or hire a different technical coach; those suffering with anxiety are taught mental game interventions like positive thinking and for the athlete who gets overly-analytical similar interventions are used.
Unfortunately, all of these so-called solutions fall into what Jayne has identified as “thinking about moving” or “thinking about thinking” and they serve as short term solutions at best and at worst contribute to even higher levels of stress as the athlete attempts to “get it right”.
With a background of almost 40 years in the martial arts and formal Buddhist meditation, Jayne’s approach surpasses these strategies and takes audiences beyond the mental game. She created her Chi Performance method in 2004, based on traditional ways that predate psychology and biomechanics by hundreds, even thousands of years, helping athletes get to the root cause of performance anxiety and offering a solution that is simple, proven and trusted by those who love sport in over 25 countries around the world.
She invites audiences not only to experience her methods but to develop their own daily Performance Practice and gain the many benefits of a quiet mind and a physical state of relaxed readiness so that, as she says, “team mind-body” can be called upon to help with preparation and performance - even under the most intense pressure.

Beyond the Mental Game
The necessity of inner quietude for the delivery of fluid motion. Attaining the flow-state through a quiet mind; the formula for the zone/flow and its connection to the meditative state. Why apps aren’t enough for serious athletes. Common mistakes made when using breathing ‘techniques’ from a psychological perspective without understanding the role of the body’s physical centre.
Benefits and take home value: Audience members will have a daily Performance Practice of formal seated meditation to dispel anxiety, calm nerves and remove all forms of mental self-interference. They will be shown how to build and develop the practice, apply it to sports practice / movement rehearsal and implement in competitive situations.
Fully interactive speech.
Suitable for golf, sport, music and business audiences.
Stillness is the Master of Motion
Attaining a state of relaxed readiness with the body so it can respond naturally to the intention. How thinking about moving disrupts the signal from the motor system throwing off balance, rhythm and timing. Preparing your body with the twin qualities of structure and relaxation. Bringing the mind and body, idea and action together.
Benefits and take home value: Audience members will have a key foundational practice to help in the preparation for delivering complex sporting movements without resorting to technical thinking which can disrupt and inhibit the body. Advice will be given on how to build and develop the practice, and implement it during real-time competitive situations.
Fully interactive speech.
Suitable for golf, sport and music audiences.
The Practice of High Performance
Developing a daily Performance Practice to unite mind and body, mental game and technical training. Preparing the inner conditions necessary to enter the flow-state or zone, bypassing psychological and mental game processes to develop inner quietude and a state of relaxed readiness, allowing the body to move in the most natural way.
Available to audiences who have participated in Topics 1 or 2 above.
Benefits and take-home value: Audience members will be secure in their ability to unite the mental and technical aspects of sport, stay in the moment, and perform under pressure.
Fully interactive follow-up speech.

Benefits and take home value: This speech will inspire and motivate any audience, especially those wishing to implement new or challenging ideas, to persist against the odds and do more than they currently believe is possible.
