David Galbraith is a New Zealand registered Clinical Psychologist and respected performance coach with more than 20 years’ experience across elite sport, business and life.
Over that time, David has supported Olympic athletes, professional teams, coaches and leaders — including involvement in four Olympic Games. As Mind Coach for the Chiefs Super Rugby team and Japan’s Brave Blossoms, and working alongside athletes such as Lisa Carrington, Sarah Walker and Laura Langman, he has developed a deep understanding of what it truly takes to perform under the highest pressure on the world stage.
In recent years, David has expanded his focus beyond elite sport, working with individuals and organisations who want to perform better in business and in life. He facilitates one-on-one coaching, group coaching and business coaching, and is also available as a keynote speaker.
He is the author of Unleashing Greatness, a book that has sold widely across New Zealand and internationally.
Beyond his professional work, David remains grounded in family and community. He manages a sheep and beef farm in King Country while raising his family — a balance that reflects his practical, values-led approach to performance.
On stage, David is thoughtful, clear and quietly powerful. He brings practical mental skills and performance insights without jargon, helping audiences understand what high performance really requires — and how to build it sustainably.
