Mental skills coach with 23 years inside the All Blacks and architect of a dynasty
Gilbert Enoka is one of the most respected mental performance coaches in the history of international sport. His 23-year tenure with the All Blacks — first as mental skills coach and then as Manager of Leadership — coincided with a period of almost uninterrupted dominance: back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories, 21 consecutive Bledisloe Cups, a Laureus Award for the world's best team, eight Tri Nations and nine Rugby Championships. He has been present for more than 300 test matches and has worked alongside some of the most scrutinised athletes in the world under the most sustained performance pressure any team endures.
Gilbert has also served as mental skills coach to the Canterbury Crusaders, the Silver Ferns and the Black Caps, and is currently consulting with Chelsea Football Club in the United Kingdom. For more than 30 years he has worked across corporate leadership as well as elite sport, helping top CEOs and business leaders apply the same frameworks that sustain championship performance to the demands of organisational life.
Gilbert's philosophy is built on the pursuit of excellence, consistency and sustained performance over time — and his ability to translate that philosophy into language that resonates with leaders, teams and executives across any context is what makes him one of the most compelling speakers in the world.
