Steve Mellor is a former U.S. Olympic swim coach turned executive performance strategist and keynote speaker. As the founder of GrowthReady, he helps leaders, teams, and organizations raise their floor by turning pressure into readiness and potential into performance.

With nearly two decades of coaching elite performers in high-stakes arenas - from Olympic athletes to C-suite executives - Steve has seen firsthand what separates those who talk about excellence from those who live it. His approach blends the discipline of sport, the psychology of performance, and the strategy of business leadership.

Steve’s keynotes and workshops challenge audiences to redefine what high performance really means, not as a fleeting peak, but as a repeatable standard built through clarity, conviction, and composure. His message is practical, energizing, and rooted in lived experience, not theory.

As an author, podcast host, and lifelong competitor, Steve’s mission is simple yet powerful: to position people to pursue high performance in high-stakes environments.

A native of England now based in the U.S., Steve is also a husband, father, and storyteller who brings authenticity, humor, and heart to every stage he steps onto. Whether coaching Olympians or corporate leaders, his work sparks the same transformation—helping people perform when it matters most!
