He also worked in the airline industry and of course in sports. He has spent many years working in sport performance & coaching in Europe where he was the senior global director for talent & leadership development for adidas. It was there where Longley focused his work on psychology & applied neuroscience. Believing that from understanding how our mind and brains work, sports coaches can take their coaching to the next level.
He started off his sporting career as an elite rugby player where he’s played at the highest level across five countries before moving into rugby coaching. He continues to work as a performance coach and expert with professional rugby teams and head coaches alike.
Longley and The Hockey Site together will present a 1 hour online masterclass about how to bring applied neuroscience into your coaching this Friday, September 2 at 12:00h GMT. If you can join us live, you get to ask him your own coaching questions.
We know it is the coach who makes the team-work, work! However the majority of traditional sports coaching development focuses on skills, drills and tactics. This neglects an important element of high performance… the team environment. With a background in psychology, neuroscience and in elite sport Longley dedicated himself to find a way to make the science of team performance available to sports coaches. No matter what the sport, no matter what the country, in a really practical way.
