MISSION PERFORMANCE
队伍介绍
Greg Miller’s sailing career began as a sea scout in Gosport. Between leaving secondary school and joining the British Army, where he served for 24 years, Greg worked as a sailing and water-sports instructor in Portsmouth.
Greg has vast experience of sailing different vessels in varying conditions including two Atlantic Ocean and a Southern Ocean crossing. He says: “I cut my teeth on the 'big boats' and ocean sailing with the military and Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre. One of my most memorable moments at sea was when HMS Illustrious pulled up next to our 50-foot yacht in the middle of the Atlantic to drop off a crew member.
“I want to build a solid team that any skipper would be proud to sail with. I would like them to become a close-knit family and a high performing team. Humility will be their motto, podium positions will be their goal.”
Aside from sailing, Greg has gained his Private Pilot’s licence and has a love of motorbikes, especially Ducatis. Greg says “I toyed with the idea of a career in aviation for a while and would probably have gone that way if my passion for sailing had not surfaced.
“I’ve been working as a Clipper Race training skipper and with my discharge from the army, the timing was perfect for me to join this year’s race. I am yet to sail the Pacific Ocean so am really looking forward to Leg 6.”
Coaching the performance lessons from extreme environments to businesses is at the heart of what Mission Performance does.
Their diverse team is made up of Arctic explorers, mountaineers, elite sports coaches, ocean yacht racers and rowers, decorated military officers, theatre directors and actors.
These facilitators deliver high impact development programmes to enable people, teams and organisations to perform beyond expectation. They deliver learning solutions to help solve strategic challenges and exploit specific business opportunities.
As a result of Mission Performance’s debut in the Clipper 2013-14 Race the business was able to develop a number of relationships with key partners that would not otherwise have been possible.
Director Rob Lewis said:
“Performance in the Clipper Race is linked to the people and not technology. The global nature of the race enables us to exploit specific markets for our products and services. The opportunity to conduct additional research into the performance lessons of the race is also invaluable.'
'The sea does not discriminate between amateur and professional sailors' as Sir Robin often explains.
Facing the challenges of the race requires courage and commitment to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. We share this ethos at Mission Performance and believe that with the right preparation and mental attitude anything is possible.
Other professional yacht races appeal to a different set of values. The Clipper Race is the people’s race and has a far deeper significance for all those associated with it.”
