Join us for an inspiring journey of mental strength & resilience with Lewis Hatchett, a former professional cricketer who defied the odds to carve out an exceptional career despite facing significant physical challenges.

Lewis was born with Poland Syndrome, a rare condition affecting only one in 100,000 births, which left him without a right pectoral muscle and two ribs. This condition posed serious obstacles for a fast-medium left-arm bowler like Lewis, causing weakness in his delivery arm and daily discomfort. Despite being advised against contact sports, Lewis’s determination propelled him forward, leading him to a successful six-year tenure with Sussex County Cricket Club.

Throughout his career, Lewis battled physical limitations with unwavering mental strength. From donning a bullet-proof vest during matches to protect his vulnerable chest, to managing daily aches and pains, his resilience and determination were truly remarkable. Now, Lewis shares his incredible journey and insights as a mindset coach, MSc performance psychology student, and mindfulness and yoga coach. Through his MindStrong Sport App, Lewis empowers athletes to harness the power of their mindset, turning adversity into their greatest strength.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Lewis Hatchett as he shares his story of overcoming obstacles, cultivating resilience, and thriving against all odds.
