Dave’s workshops focus on entertaining and easy to follow theory sessions and the practical application of the material in settings specific to training performing and competition. Dave also works one-on-one with individuals in a coaching setting, helping to create vision, set goals, uncover inefficient behaviour and discover each individual’s secrets for success.
