Noel Blundell
Dr Noel Blundell has been dubbed the “sport psychologist to the stars” because of his highly successful results with elite athletes on the world stage. He is best known for his extensive work on the highly competitive, pressurized tennis and golf professional circuits.
Born in Brisbane, Queensland, and educated in Australia and the US, he won numerous citations for academic excellence and his versatility is underscored by the many different sports with which he has worked both on an individual and team basis. He is equally comfortable working with players of all ability levels from beginner to superstar status.
Dr Blundell is an experienced keynote speaker at international and national seminars and workshops and on expert panels. He is the author of the book “So You Want to be a Tennis Pro”. His expertise as a sport psychologist is also supported by doctoral qualifications in Skill Acquisition and Performance. Using a combination of these skills he has also coached successfully on both the ATP and WTA tours.
Over the past 25 years Dr Blundell has spent 3 to 6 months per year travelling on the international circuits preparing athletes on site to meet the high pressure demands of elite sport. Be it at Augusta with US Masters champion Sandy Lyle, at Wimbledon with semi finalist Jason Stoltenberg, in pit lane with multiple V8 Super Car champion Mark Skaife, or at the Olympics with Slalom Canoe silver medallist Danielle Woodward, Dr Blundell’s unique international experience in the white hot, on-site cauldron of international sport, provides him with a wealth of experience that shapes his “real world” approach to consulting.
