Peter trained with the NSW elite squad for over 12 years. Having access to the NSW Institute of Sport scientists gave Peter a fascinating insight into how our emotions and mind work for or against us in what we do; this fuelled the passion Peter always held for the mental side of his sport and later become his life passion.
Peter has trained under some of Australia’s and the world’s best coaches including 3 times gold medal winning coaches Wayne Roycroft and Heath Ryan.

Of recent years, due to his passion for the mental side of riding and life, Peter has extensively studied confidence and self-esteem and the degree they impact our lives. Peter also has studied just what it takes to succeed, by researching many of the world's leading success coaches and world leaders. This has included the research of over 2500 books, articles, video and audio on these subjects. Peter has found that there is a systematic and consistent approach to confidence and success and that if people apply the “algorithm” diligently, they will have success and confidence.
