As Head of Performance Psychology at Hintsa Performance, he supports Formula 1 drivers, teams, and Fortune 500 companies, drawing on extensive experience including roles as National Lead for Psychology at England Rugby, Lead Psychologist for GB Taekwondo during the Rio Olympics, and Head of Psychology at INEOS Grenadiers cycling team.

Robbie equips audiences with practical mental strategies to sharpen focus, build resilience, and create high-performing cultures that deliver measurable results when it matters most.

Dr Robbie Anderson shaped the mental frameworks behind Olympic medals, Formula 1 victories, and breakthrough performances at the highest levels of global sport before turning those insights towards corporate leaders and organisations facing their own high-stakes challenges. His career has taken him from the sidelines of Rio 2016 with GB Taekwondo to the pit lanes of Formula 1, and into boardrooms where million-pound decisions demand the same psychological precision as a final lap overtake. Now, as Head of Performance Psychology at Hintsa Performance and Director of his own consultancy Performing Minds, Robbie works at the intersection of elite motorsport and Fortune 500 business, translating the mental strategies that separate champions from competitors into practical tools for leaders navigating pressure, uncertainty, and relentless demands.

Robbie's credentials reflect a career spent mastering performance psychology across the most demanding arenas. As National Lead for Psychology at England Rugby and Lead Psychologist for GB Taekwondo during the Rio Olympic cycle, he developed mental strategies that contributed directly to medal-winning performances on the world stage. He served as Head of Psychology at INEOS Grenadiers World Tour Cycling Team, supporting riders through the gruelling demands of professional cycling, and has worked as consultant psychologist to PGA Tour and Major-winning golfers. His decade-long collaboration with Professor Steve Peters, author of The Chimp Paradox, saw him serve as Managing Director and lead practitioner at their consultancy, transforming performance across the armed forces, emergency services, and global business, including six years coaching senior portfolio managers at a leading hedge fund in London and New York. Currently, Robbie supports Formula 1 drivers, pit crews, engineers, and team leaders across multiple motorsport categories including F1, F2, WEC, and Le Mans, helping them maintain laser-sharp focus and decision-making under extreme pressure. His recent work with Queens Park Rangers Football Club and his insights featured in The New York Times exploring how F1 drivers sustain elite concentration have brought his expertise to wider audiences across sport and business.

Robbie's value to audiences lies in his ability to translate high-stakes psychological principles into practical frameworks that drive measurable results. Whether addressing corporate leaders navigating complex decisions, teams seeking to build resilient cultures, or individuals striving for personal excellence, he delivers strategies grounded in real-world application from the frontlines of elite performance. His presentations combine compelling stories from Olympic podiums, Formula 1 circuits, and global boardrooms with actionable tools that audiences can implement immediately. Robbie inspires organisations to rethink how they approach pressure, focus, and sustained success, leaving them equipped with the mental strategies to perform at their best when it matters most.
