Hi! I am Dr. Sacha Fulton and this is my story.

For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about life – passionate about travel, driven to embark on challenges and adventures and committed to my studies and connecting with people. The truth is, there were numerous careers I could have embarked on but Sports Science seemed to fit the brief perfectly. I could combine my love of science, movement, sport and travel to assist athletes prepare for events and have some incredible adventures along the way.

I look at all life’s challenges and I can see how essential preparation is. Sometimes we want to take short cuts and as humans we are inherently lazy, however those who go onto succeed in all aspects of life have one thing in common. They prepare. In my work I love to support people who want to be the very best versions of themselves. I believe in assisting people with goals and dreams to develop an elite mindset, to think, feel and behave like professionals to see what they are really capable of. I help individuals, teams, clubs and organisations to be better prepared to reach their goals and to perform on the stage of high performance.

My methods are based on science, research, the power of education and my own experiences as a scientist, athlete, academic, adventure enthusiast and keen traveller. I have combined the practices and principles of sports science for elite athletes training to be the very best in their sport and applied them to the principles and practices of preparation for success. In working with me you’ll be accessing my knowledge, expertise and experience for your professional and personal development and for preparing to succeed.

Success is what happens when preparation meets knowledge.

I help elite athletes reach their maximum performance potential through scientifically backed training and preparation techniques that include load monitoring, physiological and performance testing, sleep and recovery strategies, nutrition and hydration strategies, tips for travelling and training programs.

Through my studies as a doctor of Sports Science, the lessons I have learnt from Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and my life journey; I bring an elite mindset to individuals and organisations to enable high performance and develop team culture.
My purpose is to unlock possibility and cultivate greatness for individuals to achieve their full potential.

Sporting Clubs and Organisations

You know how some athletes seem to just get better and better every season? Chances are, it has a lot more to do with their preparation than their effort on race day.

Schools

It is important for schools to implement high performing team cultures.

• Could your ATAR PE studies students benefit from another voice as they strive to understand Physiological and Biomechanical concepts?
• Could your senior school students develop an understanding of the effects of nutrition, exercise and sleep on cognitive function, and ultimately performance, both inside and outside of the classroom with the right tools from the right voice?

I can have your students captivated from the start and walking away with an internal fire burning brightly with a behind the scenes glimpse into what it is like to help the world’s best athletes prepare for the pinnacle of competitive sport.
