“Here’s the thing: We’re all told that mental change is hard work. That it takes time. That we have to will our brain into doing what we want it to do; to achieve the results we want to achieve. That it may take weeks, months, or years to make those mindset changes happen. As it turns out, that just isn’t true. The brain is incredibly nimble (it’s called neuroplasticity), and Adelaide is the coach that guides you through the reshaping of your beliefs, convictions, and identity constructs, and makes real change happen on. the. spot. Not in weeks, months, or years. In a couple of freaking hours.
In just three session with her, we solved three life-long challenges of mine: My relationship with food, my body image, and my inherent fear of the worst case scenario, in life and in business. If you’d like change now, and not invest thousands in a lengthy process where you have to battle with yourself (spoiler: this doesn’t actually work), you need to invest in this woman. She’s really, reaaaally good at what she does, and whether you need performance-enhancing or life-enhancing guidance, Adelaide’s your gal. Just do it.
Since working with her I’ve completely changed my relationship with food, with my body, and with my self-doubt. I’ve started running again. I’ve started eating healthy again. And it doesn’t feel like hard work - at all - cause all Adelaide’s done is help me mould my mind to help me achieve what I want to achieve.”
“Adelaide is incredible. The day before my World Championships when I needed help to control my escalating nerves, she came to the rescue. Using specialist mindset techniques, she refocused my thinking, in her wonderfully calm and relaxed manner. She also showed me a slightly different kind of visualisation process. She worked her magic as I walked away with a world title.”
“Adelaide has helped me find a better balance between family, work and triathlon. I’ve seen progress in managing stress in life and ensuring focus on the right task at the right time. Adelaide’s coaching has helped me focus on a growth mindset in both sport and life.”
“Working with Adelaide helped me to define the key aspects of my current work role, allowed me to fully focus on these areas enabled me to become more productive and efficient in my day to day job and freed time to focus on my personal development. Reframing my thinking and the way I speak to myself about key aspects of my personal and professional life has allowed me to achieve my goals and feel much more fulfilled. I still regularly use the tools I have learnt that have now become invaluable to me.”
“We triathletes know that we can train our muscles, our heart, lungs, gut, work economy, swim, bike and run technique.
The better and more structured training, the better the result will be. Why should we treat our brain differently?
At every race I reach a point where the physical fatigue is so high, that I question why I force myself through the pain and continue pushing.
It is at these critical moments, that it’s important to have your mental game plan ready. Why should you continue to push through? What mindset techniques work best to unlock your full potential?
Together with Adelaide Goodeve, I’ve tried an arsenal of mindset techniques. Some had small effect others moderate, a few however, made a really big gain. And those are the ones we continue to refine and improve.
If you do find yourself with a feeling of not being able to fulfil your potential, then get in touch with Adelaide and see if she can help you out.”
“I’ve been working with Coach Adelaide for about a year and a half now. It’s been an awesome experience and it’s helped a lot with my mental strength going into competitions.
The two biggest things that have helped the most have been when I’m feeling nervous, Adelaide has taught me how to anchor a calming feeling to the colour blue. So I find the colour blue before and during competitions, and it helps me really calm down.
When I have negative self talk, Adelaide has taught me a way to lock it away in this trunk and forget about it.
These have been two humongous things that have helped so much with my competitions!”
“I started working with Adelaide just two weeks before the national championships. We’ve been working together for 6 months since then and I’ve been experienced a huge transformation. Coming to the world championships I feel very prepared. Going into each climb, the nerves are very difficult.
When I was climbing at nationals, I was nervous and didn’t really feel like I was climbing my best. However, with all of the tips that she’s given me, I’ve really been able to perform at my best at world’s and definitely very appreciative for all of the coaching and advice that she’s provided.
One of the things that we talk about a lot in climbing, is that it’s equal parts, technique, rank and mental. Technique and strength are easy to train for, but the mental aspect isn’t so much and with Adelaide’s help it’s really given me the tools that I need to develop that aspect of my climbing, so I can’t recommend her highly enough. It’s very beneficial.”
“I think I had such an amazing mental experience during worlds [Adaptive Climbing World Championships] due to the work I had done with Adelaide.”
