Dave Diggle empowers leaders, teams, and organisations to perform at their highest potential consistently, strategically, and sustainably.
By combining decades of elite sport with cutting-edge performance psychology and practical PMSC experience, Dave helps individuals and teams navigate pressure, optimise performance, and create environments where excellence is the standard, not the exception.
Dave's philosophy is simple...
“As long as you’re human, you have untapped potential. My role is to help you find it, harness it, and make it consistent.”
From the Arena to the Boardroom
Building High-Performing Leaders and Teams That Deliver
With over 40 years immersed in high-performance environments, Dave Diggle has experienced elite performance from every angle, first as an international athlete representing Great Britain, then in the high-pressure environment of PMSC, and since 2007 a globally recognised human performance strategist.
Dave’s journey began on the competition floor, where he developed a deep understanding of the demands and pressures elite performers face.
Today, Dave works at the intersection of performance psychology, leadership development, and strategic corporate growth. He is an academic lecturer at the University of Sydney’s Arts and Social Science Department, delivering the Sport and Performance Psychology component of the National Coaching Certification degree, equipping the next generation of coaches and leadership teams with the tools to compete under pressure with consistency.
As the founder of Smart Mind, a global human performance group, Dave partners with founders, executives, leadership teams, and high-performing organisations to optimise both individual performance and team effectiveness. His work is grounded in the belief that with the right strategic frameworks, team and leadership potential can be unlocked.
