Optimising human performance

Dr Michael Passaportis (PhD, CPsychol, SEPiT)

I use evidence-based skills and processes to help you move towards performance excellence, while learning how to more confidently handle the pressure and expectations that come with elite performance.

My goal is to support you to reach your full potential. Together, we'll explore practical tools and strategies to get clear on what behaviours move you forward and which ones hold your back, so you can drop the struggle with any internal experiences that could be limiting your performance.

Connect Performance Academy

“We’re proud to work alongside Michael in our mission to use the sports industry to nurture South Africa’s next generation. 

Many Connect Academy athletes are progressing to high-performing careers in professional sport. Michael’s own lived experience couples with his unwavering commitment to engage with an often unique South African developmental environment, with an open mind and a tactful approach. 

This makes him more than a professional partner – he is an ally to the young people in our care.

Michael works individually on an ongoing basis with many of our emerging professionals, as well as providing workshops and ad hoc support to our wider group of participants.

He plays a crucial role in helping us to achieve our aim: to provide a challenging yet caring environment in which our young people have the freedom to unlock their full potential as independent young adults, whatever their background or personal circumstances.”

“Michael has been a great help to our scholars this year, offering 1:1 support and group workshops. Michael has a great calmness about him that makes him extremely approachable and this helps our students to come forward seeking support around their performance, training and academic work. The addition of Michael's support this year has added real value to our sports scholarship scheme and I am keen to maintain that relationship as we go forward”
