About | MG1 Elite Performance

Hi, I'm Colin, I'm the Head Coach at MG1 Elite Performance. I have over 20 years of experience teaching and coaching in professional and elite environments. My obsession with the brain started from coaching technical skills to athletes – I was fascinated why some players were being coached the exact same session, but the responses to the stimuli (either from me, or in the game itself) was different. What was going on in their head which resulted in a different outcome from one athlete to the next? Well, that question sent me on a journey of discovery that continues right to this day. And, as I said above, it has become an obsession. My starting point was gaining a qualification in Neurobiology and Sports Performance. From there, I have continued to practice my craft and expand my knowledge working with athletes from Junior level right up to international level, seeing incredible results along the way. I now work with athletes and teams all around the world. In 2020 MG1 Elite Performance was born and I took the full time leap into becoming a Neuro Performance Coach. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work with hundreds of incredible athletes from about as many sports as you can think of! My work has seen me work with Olympians, Premier League Footballers and International Ice Hockey players to name a few! In 2023 we opened our first Brain Gym in North America and in 2024, the brand new, state of the art, Neuro Performance Centre was opened in Long Eaton, Nottingham. Here we train athletes to improve cognitive perceptual skills such as scanning, decision-making, reaction speed, concentration and focus. My role is to help you ensure that the top 3 inches performs at its best so that the rest of you has the opportunity to! Whatever your sport and whatever your level, Neuro Performance Training is the secret to success that previously no-one has wanted you to know about. Michael Jordan did it.
Steph Curry does it.
Trent Alexander-Arnold does it.
Liverpool FC do it.
Marc Andre Fleury does it. Some of the greatest that have ever played their sports train this way. Isn’t it time you did? Why wouldn’t you want to see more of the game, make better decisions, respond better under pressure and respond quicker to events? The professional game is starting to see the benefit. Now you can too. I’ll let you into a little secret - Your brain is ALWAYS being trained. Either by you, or by the world around you. If you are going to work hard at training anything, it makes sense to be the thing that runs everything. Colin
