Rob Blackburne is a performance coach trusted by professional footballers across the Premier League, Championship and beyond. After coming through Chelsea’s youth system and playing non-league football, Rob discovered that the real battles were in the mind. His approach is different, with the focus firmly on lived experience and practical tools. Rob has helped hundreds of players transform their performances on the pitch and their lives off it.
