About Bill Nelson

Bill Nelson is an elite international sporting coach who has turned his knowledge of developing peak team and individual performance into a world-class corporate consultancy, Total Performance Concepts Pty Ltd.

Bill’s wisdom of the science of motivation, performance coaching, team building and the development of organisational culture has been utilised by business organisations, defence forces, educational institutions, local government, and elite sporting programs throughout the world.

Major corporate brands including Canon, Panasonic and Ansett Airlines have called on Bill’s services on national and international advertising and marketing campaigns.

His business draws on his expertise and time as an Olympic Coach who contributed to peak performances at the Barcelona (1992) and Atlanta (1996) Games, World Championships and other international competition.

He is a multi-award winning swim coach and former vice-president of the World Swim Coaches Association who has worked with the sport’s foremost performers in such academies as the world-acclaimed Australian Institute of Sport.

His ability to isolate the building blocks of peak performance was recognised by other sporting entities. From 1992-94, Bill served as an advisor to the Australian Road Cycling Team and, during the mid-90s to 2001, consulted to the premiership-winning SE Melbourne Magic and the Victoria Titans National Basketball League teams.

He has provided team-building and performance-enhancement services to Australian Football, Rugby League and Rugby Union clubs and teams.

Bill was also a member of the coaching and management team which steered the Sydney Kings Basketball team to the National Basketball League (NBL) crown in the 2003, 2004, 2005 seasons, as well as Grand Final appearances in seasons 2006 and 2008. He was also a consultant to Basketball Australia and the men’s National team in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

In season 2008-09 Bill continued his work in the NBL by working with Coach Brian Goorjian and the Victorian based South Dragons as they worked there way from finishing last in the NBL in 2007/08 to the National Champions in season 08/09. This has been Bill’s 14th season working with Coach Goorjian.

In his capacity as a performance strategist to international surfwear and board sports company Billabong, Bill operates as a mentor to many of the leading professional surfers, snowboarders and skateboard riders on both the national and international men's and women’s tours.

Bill is also a consultant to the National Rugby League (NRL) Referees and Match Officials.

His actions speak as loud as his words as evidenced by his own personal sporting achievements, his role in the Sydney Olympic Torch Relay and his awarding of an Australian Sports Medal and the Commonwealth Sports Achievement Award.

That insight is no longer the exclusive property of Olympic or elite level athletes. Individuals, teams and business organisations have successfully incorporated the Nelson message into their pursuit of high achievement.

These days Bill continues to coach, however this time it is to many of Australian leading business organisations and personnel.
