My Story

It’s Peakin High Performance’s first blog, and I thought why not make it about myself, my journey to discovering High Performance and to setting up my own company.

So my name is Ciaran King and I’m an Elite Downhill Mountain Biker, fortunate enough to race my bike around Europe supported by my sponsors and trying to break into the World Cup scene as a professional mountain biker. As you may have imagined, trying to become a professional mountain biker is extremely hard and I knew I would have to improve my performance through my psychological approach to racing and training.

Four years ago, I decided to seek help to improve my mental performance. I found a local High Performance Coach and he helped me discover the power and possibilities of High Performance.

Since then, I have continued to work with my coach, conduct my own research and apply my learnings to racing and life. My performance continues to improve massively as I get closer to my goal of racing World Cups and to be honest, everything else in my life has also improved! When I say my life has improved, I mean it. I’m the happiest, healthiest and most confident, productive, motivated, loving and grateful version of myself I’ve ever been thanks to High Performance Coaching.

Over these four years, my passion for trying to be my best self and seeking High Performance in my life, has led me to becoming a Certified High Performance Coach through the High Performance Institute. This coaching programme has taught me the only scientifically validated process for developing high performance in the world. It’s become my passion to help people become their best selves in all areas of their lives and that’s why I created Peakin High Performance.

My journey is exciting as I’m trying to grow my business, to be the best coach I can be and to still chase my dreams of becoming a professional mountain biker and racing World Cups. It’s really allowing me to put all my learnings into practice so I can achieve both goals while maintaining my relationships and well-being along the way.

Peakin High Performane offers 12 sessions about improving all areas of your life, especially those related to the clarity, energy, courage, productivity and influence you feel in your life. The sessions will lead to discovery, decision-making, performance improvement, and better living.

These are the same sessions that I went through and trust me when I say they are transformational. If you’re interested in developing High Performance in your life, send me a message and we can talk.

Hope you enjoyed reading about my journey and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to my mountainbike sponsors: Worx, Southfork Racing, Cheerful Budha and Dialed Telementry that’s made part of my journey possible.
