My story
Simon Drane
From my earliest memories, the intricate connection between my brain and behaviour has captivated me. Initially, it stirred more frustration than fascination, as my own sporting 'performances' exhibited variability without apparent physical causes. This confusion, however, sparked an insatiable curiosity to unravel the mysteries of the brain and body. Now, 25 years later, I find myself more informed but still on a fascinating journey of discovery.
As a Sport Psychologist for TeamGB over three Olympic Games to the Head of People Development for a Learning and Development company, my career has been defined by an unwavering commitment to helping others unlock the impact of their brain and mindset on their behaviour and performance. This dedication led to the creation of Cognition.
Whether you're an aspiring athlete, a business professional, a coach, or a parent, Cognition specialises in deciphering the intricate influence of the brain on behaviour. Offering transformative guidance tailored to your specific needs, I would love to help you unlock your limitless potential.
