Rob Gregory runs The Coaching Nexus. His work combines an MSc in Coaching Psychology with experience in elite recruiting, cricket coaching and high-stakes operational settings.
Coaching focuses on the situations you face: recovering after a mistake, preparing for competition, making a difficult decision or having a challenging conversation. You practise routines in your own environment and reflect on what helps.
Profiling can provide a starting point for that conversation. Understand the profiling options →

The best thing I have done for my cricket. It put words around stuff I had half-noticed about myself for years.
The bits I scored amber on were the bits I knew were true. Made it harder to ignore.
The Four Rs
A universal cycle that turns the pauses you already have into performance. Used by cricketers, footballers, golfers, tennis players, and executives. Same framework, many settings.
Reflect
An honest two-second read of the moment just past. Not analysis. Not judgement.
Relax
Physiology leads psychology. One controlled breath, drop the shoulders, release the grip.
Reset
A deliberate cue that closes the previous moment. A word, an action, a fixed point to look at.
Refocus
One clear intention for the moment ahead. Not a list. A single next action.
The Framework, Applied
The Four Rs in every setting we work in. Full application pages for cricket, Aussie Rules, golf, tennis, professionals, and life.
The Four Rs for Cricket
Between-delivery batting routines. Bowling resets. Role patterns from opener to keeper.
The Four Rs for Aussie Rules
The set shot. Between contests. Quarter breaks. Position patterns from key forward to midfielder.
The Four Rs for Executives
Before a high-stakes conversation. After tough feedback. Between back-to-back meetings.
