With a career that saw him win domestic trophies with Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire and Leicestershire, as well as represent England in ODIs and the 2007 World Twenty20, Jeremy has experienced the pressures of top-level sport first-hand.

He also served as a Non-Executive Director for the League Managers Association, cementing his status as a thought leader in the field of performance.

Jeremy founded Sporting Edge in 2005, through which he has produced a wealth of digital learning tools, podcasts, and video interviews with world-class performers, coaches, and neuroscientists.
