Lewis Hatchett is a former professional cricketer who now dedicates his time to motivational speaking and high-performance coaching. As a speaker and advocate for mental health and resilience, Lewis believes that mental health isn’t a choice, but building mental strength is.
Lewis was born with Poland Syndrome, a rare condition affecting the development of chest muscles. He was told that due to this, it would never be possible for sports to be part of his future. However, instead of accepting limitations, he embarked on a journey of mental resilience and became a first-class cricket player. Through years of overcoming physical and psychological hurdles, Lewis transformed adversity into strength. Lewis now shares his story to inspire and empower others and works with elite athletes across Premier League football, Premiership rugby, ITF tennis, and first-class cricket. Lewis teaches how mindset can be the most powerful tool in overcoming challenges. His journey is not just about sport—it's about unlocking human potential and helping others find the strength within their own stories, just as he did.
Lewis retired from cricket in 2016, and has become a motivational speaker, mindset coach and host, openly speaking about mental resilience, managing adversity, physical and mental wellbeing and mindset performance under pressure. Lewis is the host of the MindStrong podcast, where he shares honest conversations with world-class authors, athletes and thinkers.
Lewis has built himself a reputation as someone who embodies perseverance and his career is a clear reflection of this. His background in professional sport, meditation, and a Master's in Performance Psychology allows him to bridge the gapbetween mental health and high achievement. Through his work he continues to inspire young athletes and professionals to work on their emotional and mental fitness, rewriting limiting narratives and to turn their mindset into their greatest strength. As a speaker Lewis teaches audiences how to be resilient under pressure, as well as introducing techniques for managing mental wellbeing in order to help individuals and teams to perform at their best. He has helped teams at companies like Revolut, Lucozade, Citi Bank, Volvo and Kingfisher Plc.
Lewis isn't just another voice in the mindset space- he's lived it, studied it, and now teaches it. His work blends story, science, and real-world tools to help people lead with emotional intelligence, rewriting limiting narratives and turning their mindset into their greatest strength.
