Nicky Forster's biography

At a glance

  • Former professional footballer and manager
  • Qualified life and goal setting coach
  • Founder of The Spot Wellness Centre
Nicky Forster is a dedicated life coach, motivational speaker, and former professional footballer with over two decades of experience in elite sports and goal setting. Known for his straightforward, pragmatic approach to achieving personal and professional growth, Nicky inspires teams and individuals to design effective strategies to meet their goals. Nicky’s career began on the football pitch, where he played more than 700 games, scoring over 200 goals for clubs like Reading FC, Birmingham City, and Brighton & Hove Albion. His drive extended beyond his playing years as he moved into management, leading teams like Brentford FC and Dover Athletic FC. This practical knowledge of discipline, teamwork, and goal-setting has shaped his approach as a speaker and coach, equipping him with unique insights into peak performance and mental resilience principles. Following his football career, Nicky ventured into wellness by founding The Spot Wellness Centre in Godstone. His passion for personal and team wellness soon led him to qualify as a Level 5 life coach and nutrition expert, expanding his work to include holistic wellness programmes for corporate teams. This background allows him to tailor his coaching and speaking engagements to the needs of each organisation, aligning his messages with company values and goals. Beyond his qualifications, Nicky is also an accomplished ultra-endurance athlete and Wim-Hof practitioner. Through his coaching and wellness programmes, he works internationally, helping businesses and leaders establish sustainable growth and well-being strategies. His approach to goal-setting—taking a dream and methodically turning it into an achievable reality—is highly valued by clients seeking to cultivate focus, drive, and cohesion within their teams.

Testimonials

As soon as he gets on stage, he has a confidence, when he tells his story he holds an audience, he is captivating, you want to listen to him, he just puts you at ease from the beginning

Samantha Johnson

Journalist & TV Presenter

Nicky was excellent. Although the purpose was not necessarily for us to provide a 'motivational speaker' - there was no doubt that was the effect. The response was unanimous and speaks for itself, 100% of delegates found Nicky's talk excellent value

Lee Griffiths

NNR Global

Nicky's talk was brilliant, and a fantastic reminder of the power of our own mindset. Weaving this into to physical endurance challenges and the discipline this required, was a great example of how to apply this to our own life both personally and professionally.
