Matthew Hodgson

I spent over a decade performing at the highest level of professional basketball. National team representative, a preseason with the Dallas Mavericks, championships across multiple leagues in multiple countries. I achieved what less than 1% of people who pick up a basketball ever will.

A big part of what made me an achiever was my obsession with understanding performance. I formally studied psychology to the postgraduate level and spent two decades learning from world-class psychologists, coaches, and performance specialists, as well as direct conversations with Olympians and World Champions across every sport.

Since walking away from my basketball career, I found that the same issues that stifle peak performance in sport apply in all arenas. The mechanisms are knowable. Once you understand them, performance becomes less about talent and more about precision.

I started People Performance Advisors to bring those principles to anyone who is burning to become elite at what they do. I honestly don't care what the stage is, all I care about is if the person or team genuinely desires to go up a level. For those who are, I am of immense help. For those who pretend to want to be better, I have zero interest in convincing you that you need me.
