Develop athletes through structured training & tactical guidance

Glass Ceiling

The invisible barriers to a coach’s peak influence.


Sports Coaches | Performance | Principle vs Glass Ceiling | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build a strategy that empowers decision-making.

Glass Ceiling: You create detailed training plans and tactical strategies, but in the heat of competition struggle to adapt when the unexpected occurs. Without the applied lens of performance psychology, decision-making under pressure can falter, leaving potential wins just out of reach.

Sports Coaches | People | Principle vs Glass Ceiling | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build a culture that epitomises the pursuit of excellence.

Glass Ceiling: You motivate athletes and staff, yet the culture risks sliding into habit rather than hunger. Without performance psychology as a force multiplier, blind spots persist, accountability softens, and the relentless pursuit of marginal performance gains remains inconsistent.

Sports Coaches | Process | Principle vs Glass Ceiling | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build operational structures that enable swift execution.

Glass Ceiling: Training schedules and recovery systems are in place, but cracks form in the finer details, communication breaks down, routines harden, and adaptability fades. The absence of performance psychology systems ensure peak effectiveness and efficiency remain elusive.

These follow The Peter Principle, represented below: People are promoted based on their success in previous roles until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one role do not necessarily transfer to another.

 

If this sounds familiar, let’s explore how to break through. Start a conversation.

“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”

Archilochus

Greek Philosopher & Poet

Mission Ready

Clear tactics. Inspired people. Seamless execution.


Sports Coaches | Performance | Principle vs Mission Readiness | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build a strategy that empowers decision-making.

Mission Ready: With a sharpened playbook and clear contingencies, you make confident in-the-moment calls. Training plans translate directly into adaptable tactics, ensuring your athletes execute under pressure with precision.

Principle: Build a culture that epitomises the pursuit of excellence.

Mission Ready: You keep athletes engaged, accountable, and ready to respond. Every interaction reinforces focus, trust, and resilience, turning group cohesion into collective momentum when it counts most.

Principle: Build operational structures that enable swift execution.

Mission Ready: From drills to recovery cycles, your systems are fine-tuned for speed and adaptability. Small refinements sharpen routines, allowing athletes to transition smoothly from preparation to game-time execution.

These principles and their corresponding actions enable individuals, teams & organisations to access flow, the sense of effortless progress, everything working as it should when it should. Below is a simplified example of how leadership roles should interconnect:

 

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit”

Identify your blindspots

What could you, your team, or organisation achieve if your invisible barriers just disappeared?

I work exclusively with highly motivated individuals and teams who’ve hit a glass ceiling, are aware they’ve hit a glass ceiling and unable to move forward. If this describes your situation then lets discuss your options.

“The world we created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it”
