Meet Sacha Bond
For years, I believed that success in sport was built through physical training — strength, endurance, repetition.
But it wasn’t until I started training my mind with the same discipline that everything changed.Mindset work transformed how I approached performance.
It gave me the clarity, composure, and belief to achieve three world records back-to-back while also raising a toddler,
not because I trained harder,
but because I trained smarter — mentally as well as physically.Through that experience, I learned that the true edge of an athlete isn’t just in their body — it’s in their mind.
The ability to stay focused under pressure, to reset after setbacks, to visualize success before it happens — that’s what separates the good from the great.Over a number of years I have dedicated my self to obtaining knowledge from the most brilliant, recognised and respected minds in this field, studied numerous books, articles and journals emulating techniques and personally receiving the highest results.That’s why I created Elevate League — to help athletes build the same mental strength that changed my whole life.
Here, we focus on the tools that elevate performance from the inside out: confidence, focus, visualization, and identity-based goals.Because when your mindset is strong, your performance follows.
Elevate League exists to help you train both body and mind.
Success stories
Every athlete who joins Elevate League has their own reason for starting a goal, a dream, or a challenge they’re ready to overcome.
Watching those stories unfold is the most rewarding part of what I do.I’ve seen athletes rediscover their confidence, step back into competition stronger than ever, and achieve goals they once thought were impossible.
Some have broken records, others have found joy in their sport again,
Some striving for more then first anticipated all by learning to train their mind as powerfully as they train their body.These are more than success stories.
They’re reminders that with the right mindset, you can rise higher than you ever imagined.Here’s what some of our athletes have to say.

Simon Lapton
Boxer
“Before working with Sacha and Elevate League, I thought discipline was just about showing up to train. But what I’ve learned is that true discipline starts in how you think, plan, and respond to challenges.
Sacha’s mindset coaching has helped me redefine my goals, build consistency, and stay on even when setbacks hit. She guided me to see every obstacle as feedback, not failure and that’s changed everything for me, both in and out of the ring.
Now I welcome new opportunities.”Simon Lapton, Competitive Boxer

“Working with Sacha has changed how I cope under pressure. I used to let worry and frustration take over, but with the tools she’s taught me staying present, managing my mindset, and focusing on what I can control I handled challenges better than ever. Even through intense pain and difficult moments, I stayed calm and focused. My team couldn’t believe how composed I was!

Atereana Kahukura
Rugby League and Union
‘Working with Sacha at Elevate League helped me to have clearer thoughts, what she has taught me kept my mind fresh, learning my own emotions and how to regulate them. Goal setting, visualising them, then achieving them has been powerful for building my confidence, I set goals of securing a position in the under 16 development squad for Canberra Raiders and the rugby union Southern Sports Academy both goals successfully achieved.
Sacha’s communication was great, I felt heard, understood and if she needed to break things down until I got it, she did.
The trust was there along side her knowledge I’d happily recommend her and Elevate League to anyone looking to level up.’Atereana Kahukura - Aspiring professional Rugby player.
