I'm Muhammad Deen (MD) and I'm a sport & performance
psychology consultant.
​
I originally hail from the UK but I now operate internationally.
​
I support performers to enhance their performances ,
well-being, and personal development. I've been fortunate to
have gathered a lot of experience, supporting those who have
just entered sport, all the way up to the Olympic level - and even
10+ years in various corporate settings too.
​
HOW DID I GET STARTED?
​
I was involved in many sports since a young age but started
playing badminton at the age of 16. After initial success, I found
myself overwhelmed when I entered new settings and new levels.
It was my own mindset that held me back. Once I realised this,
that was all the motivation I needed to get me started, and since
then I have committed myself to understanding the functions of
the mind, the all-important role it plays in performance,
and how best it can be trained so that performers
can deliver excellence when it counts.
​
WHAT'S MY EXPERIENCE?
​
I've provided psychological support and expertise in a lot of
different sports, such as: athletics, triathlon, football, climbing,
cycling, weightlifting, ice skating, badminton, squash, wushu,
and sailing.
​
The lessons learnt in elite sport can be transferred easily to
corporate settings too, and high-performing corporate individuals
are indeed "corporate athletes". It's still a high-performance
setting and this is an established part of the work that I do. I've
collaborated within the finance, oil & gas, tech & software,
medical, government, and freelance industries so far to date.
