As the majority of our mental training sessions take place via webcam, our sport psychologists and performance psychologists love assisting clients from across the English-speaking world. Our founding sport psychologist, Gareth, explains this in the short video below. The full transcript is underneath the video if reading rather than watching is more convenient.

Greetings. I hope you’re well. My name is Gareth. I’m one of the sport psychologists here at Condor Performance.
Well, if I have my calculations correct, you’re watching this video because you or somebody that you know is very interested in working with a qualified sport psychologist, and it’s also likely that you are physically located somewhere, nowhere near where I am, which is on the east coast of Australia. So this brief video explains how that is not an issue for us. It’s a normal and common part of our work to work with those across the English-speaking world.
So, probably around 2009, we decided that the convenience of mental training via webcam was so significant in the sports world and other performance settings that we wanted to shift our entire consulting approach to delivering sessions via the wonders of modern technology. We commonly think about Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, but there are others. Essentially, we started to expand our team in a way that resolved the only difficulty with that, which was the compatibility of time zones.
In other words, we started bringing exceptional sport psychologists and performance psychologists available at different time zones. This means that when we get contacted, for example, by somebody in North America, we have good availability very early in the morning, which is the North American afternoon. And then, of course, we have the European time zone, which is the trickiest one, where we make sure we have a few members of our team who are pretty happy. They would rather enjoy consulting late into the Australian evening, which means it opens up the entire European morning.
So I wanted to mention that, having been operating since 2005, we’re very aware that we’re getting increasing enquiries from athletes, non-sporting performers, sporting coaches, and sporting officials who are not physically located in Australia. Although we do have future ambitions to expand our consulting team to include psychologists from other countries, at this point, the overwhelming majority of our consulting team is still physically located in Australia. And I just wanted to essentially address the concern that you may have about the physical distance between where you are and where your future sport and performance psychologist might be located. So it’s not an issue for us. Why don’t you jump onto some of the other parts of the website to learn more about us?
To contact us, the most efficient way is to either fill in the contact us form or to spend a little bit longer filling in one of our mental toughness questionnaires, just like a contact us form with much more detail. Either one will be sent through to our intake team, and they generally try to get back to everybody within a couple of days, where the process of trying to work out which member of the condom performance team is going to be best placed to work with you. That’s it from me. We hope to hear from you soon. To browse our current team of international sport psychologists, click here.
