Katie Mobed's biography

At a glance

  • Performance psychologist supporting Team GB Olympians
  • Expert in neuroscience of performance and resilience
  • Co-authored two bestselling books with Marcus Rashford MBE
Katie Mobed is a performance psychologist who has spent two decades helping athletes, executives, and educators perform under pressure and build cultures where people flourish. She works at the intersection of elite sport, business leadership, and youth development, translating insights from Olympic start lines to boardrooms and classrooms. For 15 years, Katie has been embedded within Team GB, supporting athletes and coaches across four Olympic Games from London 2012 to Paris 2024. She co-founded The Prime Clinic and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. Beyond elite sport, she has co-authored two bestselling children's books with Marcus Rashford MBE, created performance psychology content for Headspace, and co-developed a national schools programme that has reached over 250,000 students. Katie's expertise centres on the neuroscience of performance, resilience, and identity leadership. She helps organisations create high-trust teams that sustain excellence over time. Her work explores how belonging drives motivation, how leaders build credibility through shared purpose, and how psychological safety enables people to challenge constructively and recover from setbacks. Whether coaching a CEO or preparing an Olympian, Katie focuses on the relationship between performance and wellbeing, ensuring success feels meaningful. Audiences leave Katie's talks with practical mental skills to manage pressure, frameworks for building team trust and psychological safety, and strategies for creating cultures where challenge and support coexist. They gain tools to reframe conflict as opportunity and learn how to define success in ways that sustain both performance and fulfilment. Katie brings rigorous psychology, real-world credibility from the highest levels of sport, and an approach that prioritises human connection alongside results.
