About AGMPC

THE SCIENCE.
THE EXPERIENCE.

AGMPC fuses applied sport psychology research with real-world athletic experience. Coach Anthony Gilbertson — an 8-year European International Rugby player, Top 20 World Ranked Ultra Endurance Indoor Rower, and Royal New Zealand Navy veteran — brings a rare combination of military discipline, elite sport, and MSc-level science to every program.

Our approach is proactive, not reactive. You have a strength & conditioning coach to build your body. A skills coach to sharpen your technique. But without a mental performance coach, you're leaving the most decisive part of your game untrained. AGMPC is the piece that ties it all together — building the mental skills, resilience, and cognitive edge that convert physical preparation into consistent, high-level performance when it matters most.

Core Training Domains

THE SIX PILLARS

Every program is built on six evidence-based pillars of elite mental performance — including two that most coaches never train.

01

CONFIDENCE

Build unshakeable self-belief that holds under competition pressure. Perform with certainty — not hope.

02

FOCUS

Train attentional control and present-moment awareness. Lock in when distractions and pressure are at their highest.

03

RESILIENCE

Forge the ability to recover fast from setbacks, errors, and adversity. Bounce back stronger — every time.

04

PRESSURE

Convert pressure into fuel. Develop a performance mindset that activates — not freezes — in high-stakes moments.

How It Works

THE PROTOCOL

A systematic, data-driven approach to building elite mental performance.

01

ASSESS

Precision intake built on standardised cognitive testing to measure Higher Executive Functioning — attention control, processing speed, working memory, and cognitive flexibility under pressure. This is combined with a full mental performance profile covering your background, sport, current goals, and competitive challenges. No generic templates. No guesswork. Only a precise, data-driven diagnosis built around you.

02

DESIGN

Custom mental training protocol built on evidence-based sport psychology. Your program, engineered for your exact competitive demands.

03

EXECUTE

Intensive, structured training delivered at a pace that works for you. Regular sessions that fit your schedule — not the other way around. Practical tools and strategies are built directly into what you're already doing, so your mental training runs alongside your physical and technical preparation, not instead of it. No disruption to your programme — only a sharper, more complete athlete coming out the other side.

04

OPTIMIZE

Ongoing adaptation and recalibration to keep your mental game ahead of the competition. Performance is never static — neither is your protocol.

05

TOOLS

Every program draws from a full toolkit of evidence-based techniques, tailored to what you need:

  • Progressive Muscle Relaxation
  • Pre-Shot & Pre-Shift Routines
  • Flow State Reset Protocols
  • Customised Visualisation Scripts
  • Customised Guided Visualisation
  • Para-Sympathetic Breathing Techniques
  • Cognitive Restructuring
  • Arousal Level Control Techniques
  • Cognitive Processing Speed Drills
  • ...and more
