About Me
Over a period of 20 years as both a professional football player and a manager, the practice of setting and reaching goals were both a daily and seasonal part of my professional life.
With over 700 games and 200 goals, my career expands far beyond most players appearances and goals, an achievement I put down to a driven focus and internal motivation to succeed regardless of external stressors and influences.
Still setting goals today, I am passionate about the continued personal and professional development of both individuals and companies.
I now spend my time working internationally with companies, leaders and teams helping them to develop strategies in today’s ever-changing business landscape to achieve growth and reach success.
I have a passion for wellness having witnessed the benefits to both individuals, teams, and corporations firsthand.
With a 20-year career in elite professional sport, I not only understand how the human body works, I understand how it feels.
Career
- Professional football player – 20 years -721 games – 221 goals
- Professional football manager – 3 years – 100+ games
- Director/Owner of The Spot Wellness Centre – 8 years
- Director/Owner of Nicky Forster – The Goal Setting Coach – Life coaching and Keynote Speaking
After retiring from professional football, I made the transition from pitch to dugout as a manager. During this 3-year period, I went on to manage over 100 games with 3 teams, leading one out to a final at Wembley Stadium in 2011.
Upon leaving the world of professional sport in 2016, I headed into business setting up The Spot Wellness Centre, offering clients a holistic approach to wellness.
This gave me first-hand experience of the challenges of running an SME.
Coaching
As my love for coaching people grew, it developed into a secondary offering as a life coach and in 2018, after qualifying as a Level 5 Life Coach and Mentor, I set up my second business, Nicky Forster – The Goal setting Coach.
After 8-years of service, I took the decision to sell The Spot Wellness Centre in early 2024 allowing me to focus fully on my coaching business.
Backed by my qualifications as a life coach, qualified nutrition expert, personal trainer, Wim-Hof Practitioner, ultra-endurance athlete and a husband and father of 4 children, I have an understanding of the pressures of running a business as a solopreneur, alongside a busy family life.
Combining these skills, I now design and implement holistic wellness programmes that not only improve individual health but also contribute to the overall productivity and positive culture of organisations.
I firmly believe that the environment we surround ourselves in are powerful drivers of our own behaviours. This also applies to organisational culture and a happy working environment creates a ripple effect throughout the entire company.
"Success is never by mere chance... it’s the result of a vision and a plan"
