Dr Thomas Buck is a performance psychologist specialising in sport and exercise psychology, with over a decade of experience working in elite sporting environments. He has worked across professional football, from academy level through to the Premier League, supporting athletes, coaches and performance teams to develop the psychological skills needed to perform consistently under pressure.

His work focuses on building confidence, resilience and mental wellbeing, helping individuals navigate the realities of high-performance sport while protecting their long-term health, a distinction he considers essential rather than optional.

Thomas holds a degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology, a Masters in Sport Psychology and a PhD examining mental health and the experiences of current and retired professional athletes. He is also currently a Senior Lecturer in Sports Coaching and Performance at UCFB Manchester, keeping his practice grounded in current research as well as elite practice. At PEAK4, his expertise strengthens the Focus pillar with rigorous, evidence-based psychology.
