Optima Performance, founded by ex-professional footballer Jack McMillan, is a leading holistic performance company. We combine traditional holistic methods with cutting-edge, science-backed techniques to boost athletic performance and overall wellbeing.

This 90-minute workshop includes education on:

• Functional breathing, on pitch recovery techniques and flow state
• Breathwork for wellbeing, and mental health
• Breathing for recovery and sleep optimisation

Athletes will also experience a guided sound and meditation session using “silent disco” headphones for the ultimate immersive experience. This sensory approach enhances focus, relaxation, and recovery.

Participants will receive a FREE performance pack, including:

• Sleep mask

• Sleep tape
• A tailored breathwork plan

Ongoing support is also available through the Optima Performance platform.
