At SportsThink360, we specialise in guiding athletes through the mental, emotional, and off-field aspects of the athlete journey. We work with individuals, schools, and sporting bodies to develop holistic support systems for athletes aged 11 upwards.
Our programmes are built from the ground up – shaped by real school environments, the evolving demands of competitive sport, and a deep belief that sport is more than performance.
It’s personal.
Having guided over 2500 athletes in 20+ sports and with a background in education, sport psychology and athlete development, Ruan brings both academic depth and lived experience to the SportsThink model. He is also a lead researcher on the EU commission cofunded HerForm Project and co-author of published work on athlete stress and anxiety. His work week straddles both South Africa and Europe.
A former professional cricketer with a career spanning over 2 decades, Brad is a long-time school sports leader with a deep understanding of athlete development in the South African context. He leads the implementation of our life skills curriculum and brings decades of experience in mentoring coaches, athletes, and leadership teams.
