if you need exercise to feel like a real human being
(and are equally as driven in your career),
how *do* you manage to fit it all in?
When your schedule’s tight, recovery is the first thing to disappear. I mean, it feels a bit boring, solitary, passive.
The lunchtime walk gets skipped.
The foam roller stays in the corner.
The ice bath you meant to take?
Maybe tomorrow.
Prioritising recovery doesn’t come second nature… so it just doesn't happen — especially when training or socialising feels more rewarding.
the no-recovery domino effect
…Then your training starts suffering.
That knee twinge.
The heavy legs that won't shift.
You hit a plateau and can't break through.
Progress stalls.
You lose motivation.
And when results don't come fast enough, the drive to keep showing up evaporates — so you skip the odd session (but feel guilty about it, nonetheless).
and your business?
that's the loneliest battle of all.
You’ve got no one to bounce ideas off when you're stuck.
There’s no accountability when you close your laptop early because you've hit a wall you can't solve alone.
When roadblocks appear — the onboarding system you can't figure out, the email you can't get right, the caption hook you’ve been re-rewiting for 45 mins — your body autopilots toward distraction.
Fridge.
Emails.
Anything but sitting with the discomfort of not knowing the answer.
all work & sport (with no recovery) makes Jack a pretty dull bloke
Prioritise recovery? Why?
Your brain recalibrates
You’re optimised for creative thinking
Your brain has a greater capacity for problem-solving
You’ve created the conditions to recover properly
And now you feel a brighter spark driving your next training session
A new PB spikes dopamine, so you’re prepped up for the rest of the day
Time has stopped running away from you, you feel on top of things
Feeling confident in your own abilities, you feel capable of tackling that seemingly immovable work challenge
Because when you’re feeling rebalanced and your body is rebalanced, that’s when you’re at your most productive — both in business and on the track/field/water.
That’s where progress happens.
recovery shouldn’t be a reward for getting all your work done, or achieving a PB.
it should be a non-negotiable.
WELCOME TO
the doppa COLLECTIVE
Giving founders, freelancers and practitioners what they've been missing:
the tools to prioritise yourself.
Recover better and you’ll witness restored mental performance ➣ Business clarity ➣ The ability to get yourself in the best condition to train (physically and mentally) ➣ Hyper-productivity ➣ And the cognitive capacity to actually finish what you started.
So, what’s inside the platform?
1// GUIDANCE FOR MENTAL PERFORMANCE
backed by science.
driven by dopamine.
That 3pm slump where your brain turns to mush and you start refreshing your inbox for the 47th time? That's your nervous system running on empty. Our mini mental trainings are designed so you can:
Focus on one thing at a time (instead switching between 14 open tabs and tasks)
See the optimal timing, temperature ranges, and breathing techniques for ice and heat exposure
Build resilience through the discomfort
Boost cognitive performance via evidence-based contrast therapy protocols
Slot 10-30 minute sessions into your workday without losing momentum
You can experience the headspace, the dopamine hit and big impact of feeling fucking good. Follow just a couple of mini training sessions to make the second half of your workday as sharp as the first.
2// RECOVERY PROTOCOLS
effective recovery that doesn't fill up half your day
Even though you’ve been hammering your body for your training, recovery is always the first thing to disappear when your schedule’s slammed. It just takes too long, right?
Here’s how you eliminate write-off days (because you’re too tired):
"Minimum viable recovery" sessions for high-stress weeks (what to do when you can't do everything)
Integration strategies: post-run protocols, pre-big-meeting routines, end-of-workday resets
Habit-stacking and behaviour design frameworks, so the recovery actually happens
Scientific breakdowns explaining why these techniques work (for the rational brain that needs proof)
Troubleshooting guides for when motivation disappears (because it will)
You can stop getting frustrated with goals that are hard to stick with — and finally build the routines that make you faster, sharper, and more capable.
3// BUSINESS SUPPORT
for the non-stop brains
Most business advice assumes you have endless energy and zero other commitments. It tells you to "just hustle harder" when you're already running on fumes.
You need step-by-step guidance from those people who understand the challenge of balancing business and training (and have succeeded). You’ll get monthly live expert sessions including:
How to build a personal brand
CPD for sports practitioners
Nutrition for endurance + desk work
Mental resilience running your own business
Marketing your business
Client management + pricing strategy (to name a few)
Guest experts include successful household names, athlete-entrepreneurs, start-up founders and business strategists
Fast-track your professional development. Achieve business milestones in half the time. And hit more business PBs.
You’ll be learning from experts, hand-picked for their lived experience, not just credentials — people who've built businesses without sacrificing their training (or their sanity).
4// FORUM + GROUP ACCOUNTABILITY
your competitive advantage
You're mid-problem, whilst working from home: Do I use this platform or that one? How do I write this email without sounding robotic? But there's no one to ask. You either spiral, alone, or settle for "good enough."
Inside the community, you’ll make faster progress on work challenges when you utilise the multiple perspectives ready to support you through it — no business partner required.
Focussed work sprints, when you join our Fortnightly group online co-working sessions
Power through any challenge you need a second opinion using our private online forum
A network of pre-vetted service providers used and loved by members and founders (not just a directory — you’ll get warm intros + good deals)
If you’re looking for skill swaps, a training partner, or a new brand collab, you can also opt in for our member-to-member matching
Ask real-time questions about recovery, training progression, marketing challenges and business operations in our monthly "Office Hours" with experts
Bounce ideas off people who've been there. Get unstuck fast. And see your challenges from angles you'd never considered alone.
for drive, momentum + contented-ness
You’re self-motivated. (Your mates would say you’re self-made.)
But that takes up so much mental capacity.
All that brain juice gets used up before you’ve finished your day.
So how do you become hyper-productive, whilst still feeling fucking great?
You’ll find that each element inside the COLLECTIVE is designed to solve the fragmented, distracted (and potentially underperforming) reality you're living now — and get you to the focused, capable, progressing version of yourself you know is possible.
Design your life more intentionally — moving, growing and connecting with similarly driven people.
so what’ll your future look like?
You used to fret that you couldn't squeeze in all the things you’re passionate about — the swim training, the hill sprint sessions, the business growth — because you didn't have the energy/mental capacity/stamina/time [delete as applicable].
Those days are gone.
Now you’re living in the right conditions to feel the focus sustained right until your last email has been sent. And still have fuel in the tank to make it to your gym class.
How?
You know that peak productivity and peak physical performance aren't separate goals — they're the same goal approached from different angles.
