Biography:
Gareth J. Mole is an endorsed sport psychologist based in the Southern Highlands of NSW (Mittagong, Bowral, Moss Vale region). He is the founder of Condor Performance - the largest independent sport and performance psychology practice in Australia.
Gareth earned full registration as a psychologist as a result of successfully completing his Masters of Sport Psychology at the University of Western Sydney (2004 – 2005). Before that, his BSc (Psychology) was through the University of Leeds (United Kingdom) and the University of Salamanca (Spain) from 1996 to 1999.
He is seen in some circles as a trailblazer to a new generation of sport and performance psychologists who are looking to change the way the profession goes about their work and is perceived.
As an applied sport psychologist, Gareth is a behaviourist. His default approach is to help his clients change (improve) the way they do, act, or behave. This psychological philosophy lends itself to the sporting environment where he is most known. As he often says “they don’t hand out winners medals for those who were feeling the best, nor for those who were thinking a certain way. They only give winners medals to those who actually did (ran, swam, jumped, shot, played etc) the best”.
Gareth is fluent in Spanish due to his time spent living in Spain and Colombia. He has significant travel experience which combined with the above makes him one of the most sought-after sport psychologists going around.
