About Matt Brady · The full picture▾
Matt Brady is Australia’s leading Pressure Performance keynote speaker and the creator of Championship Neuro-Biology™. His work answers one question: how do you perform under pressure when it matters most? After 22 years studying why some people rise under pressure while others crumble, his answer is that pressure does not remove skill, it changes access to it, and that access is trainable. He created the Access Gap™ to measure the distance between trained capability and what a person can actually reach under real stakes, and built the Five Faces of Pressure™ (Performance, Outcome, Avoidance, Relational and Growth) and the Championship Cycle™ (Clarity, Certainty, Flow and Momentum). Matt works with CHROs, L&D leaders, C-suite executives and peer group chairs across EO, YPO, Vistage, CEO Institute and AICD. He is the author of The Back 9 and has spoken for organisations including Optus, Red Bull Australia, NAB, St.George, Ricoh and Channel 9 across Australia, Asia and the United States.
Let's connect
If we’ve only just connected, this is probably the best place to start. My work is all about Pressure Performance: understanding why capable people can lose access to what they know when the moment matters, and how to change that. I’d love to give you the introduction and first three chapters of The Back 9, along with the Access Gap Diagnostic. Both are on me.
Free to get you started
No cost, no catch. Both give you a real taste of the work: the science of pressure and where it is quietly costing you.
The Back 9
A business fable about why pressure changes performance and how to access your best when the moment matters most.
Don’t just read about pressure. Experience it. Start with the introduction and first three chapters free. Meet Jesse, Alex and Mac, step into their world, and see why The Back 9 is a story you may recognise more of yourself in than you expect.

The Access Gap Diagnostic™
The most important number most people never measure: the gap between what you’re capable of and what pressure lets you access when it matters.
See what pressure does to you. Discover where pressure shows up, how it changes the way you think, decide and perform, and what may be getting harder to access when the moment matters most. Take the diagnostic and find your Access Gap.
