Lewis Hatchett was born with a condition that meant no right pec, two missing ribs, and a doctor’s note that basically said, “sport’s not for him.”

He became a professional cricketer anyway.

That moment — choosing not to accept the story he was given — shaped everything that came after.

Today, Lewis is one of the growing voices in mental strength, mindset, and performance psychology. But not in the motivational cliché kind of way. He’s more interested in who you become through challenge — how you build character, take ownership of your story, and define strength on your own terms.

He has worked with athletes across Premier League football, Premiership rugby, ITF tennis, and first-class cricket. He’s also helped teams at Revolut, Lucozade, Citi Bank, Volvo, and Kingfisher Plc rethink how they show up under pressure — and what it means to perform when the cameras are off.

Through his podcast MindStrong, he’s had honest, unfiltered conversations with world-class athletes, authors, and thinkers — asking the questions that usually get skipped, and exploring what it really takes to succeed without losing yourself.

With a background in professional sport, meditation, and a Master’s in Performance Psychology, Lewis brings a rare mix of lived experience and actual research.

He helps people do the real work — not just to perform better, but to understand themselves better and turn their mindset into their greatest strength.
