Renowned sports performance coach to give Dundee seminar

A leading motivational speaker and sports performance and mindset coach is set to appear in Dundee next month, in the hope he can inspire the city’s budding athletes.

Allistair Mccaw is recognised as one of the world’s leading figures in human performance, team culture and leadership.

He has worked with a number of Olympians, tennis champions and golfers in a career spanning more than 25 years.

The seminar has been organised by Kanzen Karate in partnership with Abertay University and Leisure and Culture Dundee.

The karate club represented the city in Slovakia last year for the 2019 World Union of Karate-do Federations (WUKF) World Karate Championships.

Roy O’kane, Kanzen Karate president and Sensei, said:

“We have been keen to bring Allistair over for some time and I am delighted that he will be visiting Dundee in February.

“It’s definitely an event where our perspectives can be influenced and I would encourage anyone with an interest in improvement – whether it be sport, team or business – to attend.”

The event is free and will be held in Abertay University’s main lecture theatre on February 5 from 10am. Tickets can be booked on Eventbrite.

Dr John Babraj, senior lecturer in sport and exercise at Abertay University, said: “We are delighted to be hosting Allistair Mccaw, a renowned figure in human performance, team culture and leadership.

“Abertay is a leader in sports science teaching and research and this event will be of benefit to students, staff and the wider community.”
