Manchester United Retired Coach Pete Lowe has a lot to say to ATHLETES TODAY!
Pete worked with Manchester City Football Club for thirteen years, during which time he helped put in place a training program that cultivated strong teams as well as strong players. In his role as a coach and the Head of Education and Performance Management, Pete learned how to navigate a high-pressure environment that demanded sustained success. Pete knows how to make the ‘glue’ that helps teams stick and work together and he applies that knowledge now to businesses.
Kids all have potential, but their MentalGame is what helps them become a legend.
Pete recognized early on that competitive sports had many lessons to teach the business world. The skills cultivated by a football coach over the course of his career can be invaluable to an entrepreneur or a business owner. This includes the ability to recognize the right talent for a given position, the ability to adapt to ever-evolving market conditions and seize new opportunities, as well as the creation of a culture based around strategy – having a plan to win and being able to execute it.
Currently, he is a professional speaker and leadership consultant at First Team Ltd. and a Director at PlayersNet, an organization which aims to help athletes and their families make the right personal and professional decisions, with the advice of a network of highly experienced mentors. Pete’s passion has always been mentorship, and he articulates his philosophy in this way:
“My philosophy comes from real life stories and a career built on authenticity, integrity and passion for what I do. There are no shortcuts to sustained success and you can achieve so much more when your whole team works together and everyone gets the credit. Excellence is not a destination. Instead we must focus on continuous improvement to maintain high performance.”
Pete and Larissa have teamed up to Mentally prepare athletes at high levels for their life and their sport. It has to be both. Larissa equips them with the foundational mental skills, resilience, healthy phone habits, how to Master a NIL REPUTATION f and learn how to Mitigate Social Media. Once this part of the course is completed Coach Pete takes over and prepares athletes for their development, choices and leadership. It is the best mindset training out there for football players.
