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.

THE BACK 9

Category:

Jesse's career and dreams are slipping away. She's gripping too tight, forcing every move, and watching her best days drift further away. Alex looks successful but feels empty. Long hours have left him burned out at work and absent at home. His career feels hollow and his marriage is on the edge.

Then they meet Mac. What begins as a simple walk turns into a masterclass in pressure, showing how fear can shift into flow, and flow into fire. Through Mac's coaching, Jesse and Alex discover the Championship Cycle: a framework built on two decades of study into the neurobiology of pressure, flow, and human performance. They learn why the moments that feel like they're breaking us are actually trying to signal something, and how to read that signal before it's too late.

The Back 9 is a business fable for leaders, performers, and anyone who has ever felt the gap between who they are and who they know they could be under pressure. It won't just change how you think about pressure. It will change how you perform when it matters most.

Read it in one sitting. Use it for a lifetime.
