Since 1997, Julie Elion has worked with world class athletes, founders and executives to consistently help people and teams reach peak performance. Elion coached Phil Mickelson to his breakthrough win at the Masters in 2004, ending his reputation as the best golfer without a major win. For decades she went by the nickname ‘Stealth’, working exclusively out of the spotlight out of respect for her client’s privacy. Now, a new generation of athletes are destigmatising the importance of mental health in their practices, and crediting Elion with their wins. With high profile appearances on Netflix’s Full Swing and a few major podcast interviews, Elion has shown that she is finally poised to come out of the shadows and share her secrets of success. Elion’s philosophy is holistic. She helps an individual gain insight into their personal history, character, family and relationships and then use those insights to become a stronger athlete. She integrates classical sport psychology tools that are focused on behavioural and cognitive cues, with a deeper appreciation and understanding of oneself. Her emphasis on mindfulness and self-knowledge will appeal to all athletes and readers looking for success in all aspects of daily life including business and relationships.
