ABOUT MARTIN I. JONES

I have a passion for understanding and enhancing human performance and I bring a unique blend of academic excellence, research expertise, and real-world application.I hold a BSc in Sport and Exercise Sciences (Leeds Metropolitan University), an MSc and PhD in Sport and Exercise Sciences (Loughborough University), and an MSc in Sleep Medicine (Oxford University). My academic journey culminated in a post-doctoral research fellowship at the University of Alberta, Canada, where I established myself as a credible expert, developing the depth of knowledge and practical skills needed to advance holistic approaches to human performance.Throughout my career, I’ve led undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, supervised postgraduate research students, secured competitive research funding, and authored more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters. My dedication to education and impact has been recognised with several awards for teaching excellence.After years in academia, I transitioned to the UK military as a research psychologist, where I applied evidence-based strategies to optimise the performance of specialist personnel operating in high-stakes, high-pressure environments. Beyond defence, I’ve coached senior business leaders across industries, equipping them with the tools to thrive under pressure and achieve peak performance.Today, I draw on my experiences across elite sports, higher education, and the military to empower senior leaders and teams. Through compelling keynote speeches, transformative workshops, and tailored coaching, I deliver practical, science-backed strategies to help individuals and organisations excel in even the most challenging circumstances.If you’re seeking an expert speaker, facilitator, or coach to inspire and elevate your team, let’s connect.
