Donald MacNaughton

Donald’s’ approach utilising group work and one-to-one sessions supports teams and individuals to perform at their absolute best and unleashes potential to achieve powerful and lasting results. His own personal energy, humour and ability to empower sports coaches and players from youth through to 1st teams has won him work with some of the UK’s top sports organisations including the Scottish Football Association, Rugby Football League, Loughborough College and Snowsport GB. As well as world and national class athletes in sports such as football, skiing, golf, sailing, rock-climbing, snowboarding, rugby and football

Eric Black - First team coach with Sunderland AFC. Explains what Donald MacNaughton was able to do for him.

“Working with Donald MacNaughton of Zoned In Performance has added another dimension to my football coaching. The feedback model has given me a tool to use which allows players to take self-responsibility for their performance. Zoned In Performance takes Sport Psychology theory and turns it into usable and effective skills for any coach.”

“I met Donald in July 2005 when I was in the most crucial stages of getting back onto the slopes and qualifying for the Olympics after severely damaging my left knee. I had talked to other sports psychologists and not found them very helpful so I was not convinced Donald could help me either. However, from the first meeting, I knew this would be different. By putting a system to my thoughts and making me realise why I was thinking or feeling how I was, he made me incredibly stronger mentally. This, together with a range of techniques to help me focus before and during my race; he has definitely been a deciding factor that helped me get to the Olympic Winter Games 2006. Thank You!”

“The redesigned BASI theory module for International standard ski instructors and coaches was a resounding success. Completing the week, Donald gave an inspiring, interactive presentation on mental skills for performers and teachers that was pitched perfectly.”

Dave Murrie - British Association of Ski Instructors (B.A.S.I.)

I met Donald 6 years ago and his psychology session on competition preparation really impacted me. He is responsible for me helping to produce 5 British Champions.
