Performance Consulting For Individuals
Performance shifts when people understand how they function under pressure.
Dane Barclay's one-to-one consulting work sits at the intersection of psychology, elite sport, and high-performance environments. It is structured, evidence-informed, and deliberately practical. The focus is not motivation. It’s clarity. Capacity. Composure when it counts.
Dane works with individuals across developmental, emerging, professional, and executive levels — from junior athletes progressing through pathways, to experienced leaders carrying complex responsibility.
Individual consulting is for athletes, coaches, professionals, and leaders who want deliberate performance refinement. This includes:
- Junior athletes navigating representative pathways
- Emerging competitors building consistency
Senior athletes operating at state, national, or international levels - Executives and founders leading under sustained pressure
- Committed competitors pursuing meaningful personal goals
This is non-clinical performance consulting. It is designed for people who are functioning well and seeking structured performance enhancement.
The work translates directly into sharper decisions, steadier leadership, and more consistent execution — whether that’s on a national stage, within a boardroom, or preparing for a personal performance goal that matters deeply.

As well as ongoing personalised individual performance consulting, Dane also offers several alternative services for individuals so you can choose a method that works for you.
