Lewis Hatchett's biography

At a glance

  • Professional cricketer with Poland Syndrome
  • Mental strength coach for elite athletes
  • Host of acclaimed MindStrong podcast
Lewis Hatchett transforms limitations into extraordinary strength. Born with Poland Syndrome—missing a right pectoral muscle and two ribs—he defied medical expectations to become a professional cricketer, turning what should have ended his sporting ambitions into his greatest asset. Today, Lewis is a leading voice on mental strength, working with elite athletes across Premier League football, Premiership rugby, and professional cricket. His approach cuts through motivational clichés, offering a practical, science-backed framework for building resilience rooted in lived experience. As host of the MindStrong podcast, he leads candid conversations with world-class performers, exploring what it really takes to achieve at the highest level without compromising mental health. Backed by an MSc in Performance Psychology and years of meditation practice, Lewis brings a rare depth to the intersection of wellbeing and high performance. Corporate teams at Revolut, Lucozade, Citibank, and Volvo have experienced his fresh, impactful approach to emotional intelligence and resilience. Rather than focusing on what’s wrong, Lewis helps people uncover their strengths, reframe setbacks, and rewrite the stories that hold them back. “Mental health isn’t a choice, but building mental strength is,” he says—and his work proves this isn’t just a belief, but a practical path to thriving under pressure in a world that demands more than ever.
