You’re doing

everything right

You’re training hard.
You’re disciplined.

And more than anything, you want to make the team, secure a scholarship, go pro, and get your body to do the things you *know* it’s capable of doing.

But you’ve stopped making progress.

And you’re struggling to trust the process…

HERE’S WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW:

You are 100% capable of reaching your goals

Most athletes and high performers don’t lack potential or the right genetics.
They’re just missing the skills, systems and strategies to unlock them!  

You don’t need to learn the hard way like I did.
I’ll show you how to train smarter, not just harder.

THIS IS WHERE I COME IN

Hi, I’m Liz Gleadle, your future performance coach.
And I don’t believe in the “it factor.”

I didn’t have “it,” and you don’t need it either!  

For most of my decade-long career as a pro athlete, I felt clumsy and unathletic. I compensated by working with lots of experts and practicing intense discipline. My dedication got me far, but after my third Olympic Games, I was completely burnt out.

So in the last two years of my career, when I had nothing to lose, I decided to make training fun again. I stopped doing things that hurt my body and started training less, exploring movement in new ways (dance, parkour, yoga…you name it), intentionally curating my social life, and caring for my emotional and mental wellbeing.

I came to understand the feedback loop between my body, mind, social interactions, and emotions, which led to the performance breakthrough I had been chasing for so long.

When I retired in 2024, I became a peak performance coach to share what I’ve learned and help more athletes (especially those who may have gotten passed over!) reach their full potential.

My Mission

Show ambitious athletes and high performers the joyful, sustainable and holistic path to peak performance.

Over the last decade, I’ve competed in three Olympic Games (2012, 2016, 2021), earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, and spent thousands of hours studying everything related to performance I could get my hands on—including human kinetics, mindset, grace, yoga, nutrition, visualization and more. I also trained full-time as a professional athlete, wrote my own programs, and coached at the same track club I came up in.

After my third Olympic Games, I was landing speaking opportunities with just about every tech company you can think of. I got to teach thousands of people how to document their daily wins, use gratitude to accelerate learning, and reconnect with their bodies so they can train with more clarity, purpose, and joy.

Everything I teach is based on my education, lived experience, and scientific research.

Everything I’ve done
(so you don’t have to)

YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS

CORE VALUES

Train smart

At a certain point training “less” is more efficient. Minimum effective dose training, combined with multi-dimensional learning, will take you way further without crushing you in the process.

Train holistically

Emotional, mental, and even social skills, shape how you move. When you train all three they feed back into each other so that your body learns faster, adapts quicker, and performs better under pressure.

Lead with play

The parameters that allow you to play (curiosity, creativity, gratitude and safety) also make you learn faster. It’s the edge most athletes are missing.

NOW THAT WE’VE GOTTEN THAT OUT OF THE WAY…

Here are some actual fun facts about me

YOU CAN FIND ME

Moving. Dancing, hanging, doing inversions, backflipping, you name it. The stillest I get is when I meditate or sit in a sauna.

YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO HEAR…

I was never “supposed” to be good at javelin!

I did a genetic test through 23andMe and it told me I didn’t have the genetics to produce enough type 2 muscle fibres to be an explosive athlete.  

Also…I’m 6’1 and wear a size 13 men's sneaker.

MY FAVOURITE PLACE

The Vortex, aka my office.
