Helping individuals and teams reach their peak potential.

Welcome to Bravestar Performance by Dean Lester.

My journey in this field has been both diverse and rewarding, spanning from working with the general public to guiding elite youth athletes and seasoned professionals. My passion for performance coaching has led me to be a part of some of the most prestigious sporting events, including the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of collaborating with athletes at all levels, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and goals. My commitment to excellence and continuous improvement drives me to stay at the forefront of the latest training techniques and methodologies. This dedication ensures that every client I work with receives the most effective and personalised coaching possible.

Most recently I have began studying my MSc in Sports Psychology. This has led me to understand and apply a much broader skill-set in the realm of performance.

“Employing a holistic approach engaging both physical and mental development, I will improve your day-to-day output to reach your full potential.”

We learn to periodise our training, WHY not use a more HOLISTIC approach to periodise our life?

Whether your performance is on the pitch or in the boardroom, Let’s work together to unlock your full potential and achieve your goals.

“It’s rare to come across someone as motivated and enthusiastic as Dean. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that each individual and our team met its targets. His positive attitude and strong work ethic was contagious, and he always brought fresh ideas to the table.”

“Dean is without doubt one of the most trustworthy people/coach I have ever met. I would trust him with my life. He values people over process. He has the empathy to connect with individuals on a deep, empathic level, and from that place he uses his excellent coaching skills to influence positive change. “

“Dean is a super professional in the industry…with deep knowledge of sports science and S&C. His eagerness to contribute to the structure is priceless. He is a great “team player” and an invaluable piece to any training staff. Working with him in the preparation for the next RWC with URU it’s going to be a milestone in my professional life!!”
