“Helpful!”

At the end of May, Empire Rugby Academy had the fantastic opportunity to work with High Performance Systems with over 50 girls. As part of our mission to offer young players a real insight into the demands and lifestyle of elite-level rugby athletes, we were thrilled to offered a taster of two key performance pillars: nutrition and mindset.

The session involved an inspiring workshop from Mike Lowery, a high-performance coach, who led a powerful Red2Blue mindset session. His approach gave the players practical tools to manage pressure and perform with focus, a crucial skill in both sport and life.

“Experts!”

I was fortunate enough to spend a day with Mike in his current role as Director of Sport. Mike provided invaluable insights into departmental logistics, operational planning, and the leadership principles that underpin a successful team. Shadowing him in his role gave me first-hand experience of how to manage complex logistical challenges while maintaining a clear strategic vision. His leadership style is defined by strong communication, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to team development, all of which have significantly influenced my own approach to leadership.
