"Stillness is the Master of Motion".
Jayne Storey's Chi Performance has been helping athletes remove the blocks and limitations to performance with a simple, proven and trusted approach since 2006.
6 Reasons to Train the Chi Performance Way:
- Quiet your mind
- Train your mind~body connection
- Unify your mental game and technique
- Remove what interferes with performance
- Develop a repeatable, internal practice
- Make lasting changes and transform your game
Chi Performance is the work of Performance Practice specialist, Jayne Storey, who created this unique approach to helping golfers and other athletes bring the technical and mental aspects of sport together, get in flow and perform under pressure.
She spent a lot of time (over 20 years) working hard to understand both the up and down sides of the conventional methods for enhancing performance, which are divided into two camps; the mental game and technical instruction. What she found is that this separatist approach doesn’t really help those who love sport to intuitively deliver their movement skills when it matters.
“Jayne is on the front-end of discovering game improvement elements which are in vogue and which all the best golfers are looking at; she is helping people get there a whole lot faster by leading them to self-exploration which is where the key lies”. Mark Immelman, sportscaster, golf instructor and author
Thinking about thinking (the mental game) and thinking about movement (technical instruction) can easily overspill into analysis paralysis and the familiar ‘trying to get it right’ and bring up all sorts of stress that actually hinders your ability to move your body in the most natural and efficient way possible.
She’s not suggesting you need to ditch your work in these areas, but she does believe it’s time they were put in their place – and that’s NOT on the golf course, the tennis court, the basketball court, the pommel horse, half pipe, pool side, in the starting blocks on the 100m track and so on.
All of Jayne’s research and personal experience shows that when you’re ACTUALLY PLAYING your sport, your mind needs to be QUIET so you can move your body FREELY and put that ball exactly where you want it or execute a flawless movement routine.
She also believes that if you train your body in a slightly different way, not so much about muscle and brute force but more about internal focus and relaxed power, then you’ll soon be playing the game the way you’ve always wanted and will gain some surprising mental health and other wellbeing benefits as a result.

By applying a martial arts approach to sports performance, Jayne’s methods GO BEYOND THE MENTAL GAME right into the heart of what it takes to release your movement skills, whether its teeing off in front of your mates or performing in the most intense, high pressure moments in a tournament. In fact, her methodology is based on the traditional Eastern wisdom and disciplines that she’s practiced and taught for decades. They help develop MIND-BODY UNITY so you can bring the technical and mental aspects of your sport TOGETHER to perform at consistently higher levels and increase your self-belief and confidence in your abilities.
What Chi Performance offers is the opportunity to develop your own PERFORMANCE PRACTICE; this is a daily routine consisting of simple, natural methods for training your mind-body connection, which you can practice at home, in the locker room as well as during the game, to help to minimise all forms of self-interference, quieten your mind, foster awareness of breathing, overcome the effects of anxiety and train a body that’s athletic but relaxed.
The result? Chi Performance can help you attain FLOW by training the conditions that actually give rise to this phenomena in the first place. Flow, also called ‘the zone’, is the experience of effortlessness every athlete loves and wants to have more of, but which is nigh on impossible to reach with the thinking mind.
Jayne’s experience of flow in her sports, meditation and martial arts practice helped her to understand that it is NOT A PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE even though this is how the mainstream both regard and try to help athletes achieve it. The qualities which allow flow to appear have been spoken of by athletes of every sport and discipline and always include an inner quietude and an attitude of relaxed readiness in the physical body, along with a marked absence of mental game or technical thinking.

The Chi Performance methodology shows you how to train your mind, breathing and body in the right way to experience flow and with it, enjoy more perfect shots, flawless routines and wins. Because Jayne ‘practices what she preaches’, she’s confident that she can support you in achieving your sporting goals and help you to AVOID THE PITFALLS of over-thinking, trying too hard and the psychological, scientific and technology-led approaches, which are the modern but not necessarily the best ways of helping athletes enhance their performance and love of sport.
So, what will your Performance Practice look like?
Ideally, you’ll spend between 20-60 minutes each day (or a minimum of four times per week) working with a unique range of mind-body development practices, including foundational work like attention training, breathing exercises, various styles of meditation, posture training and slow motion drills, to more advanced practices that help increase leg strength, ground force energy and spiral rotation. You’ll also cover things you may be doing already like mindfulness, but from a NATURAL and traditional perspective.
As a client, you will be at the centre of the coaching process so YOU can determine what you want to work on, depending on your performance issues and goals for your sport. Apart from two key foundational practices (which underpin everything else), you can add to or change the mind-body tools in your routine or increase the time you spend training each day depending on upcoming tournaments or even switch up your practice in the off-season.
And you’ll get 100% of your money back if, after implementing one of Jayne’s 1-1- coaching programmes of three or more lessons, you don’t see a measurable improvement in both your performance and enjoyment of your sport.
Whether you’re an elite player who needs to perform under pressure, an amateur who wants to see your name on the club trophy, or you’re simply overloaded with mental and technical instruction, developing your PERFORMANCE PRACTICE can help.

TESTIMONIALS
“I was interested in Jayne’s book Breathe GOLF and it’s applications for both golf and music. The book is extremely vivid, practical, and is in itself its own practice. I find this book applicable to all areas of life, not just golf, but golf is a fantastic lens to get the ideas presented across. I am a couple of chapters into my 7th read!”.
Toby Ellis Music
Jayne, thank you. I feel I am at last beginning to ‘master’ the breathing and have hit some excellent drives and long irons which are feeling much freer. I’m also playing some super pitches off difficult lies with total freedom in medal play.
