MEET THE FOUNDER
Samantha Battaglia (Kinnish)
Founder | Performance Strategist | Former Elite Athlete
With over two decades of experience in health, wellness, and high-performance leadership and a career forged in elite sport, Samantha Battaglia is a trusted voice in performance transformation and human-first leadership.
At just nine years old, Samantha was signed to the Australian Institute of Sport to represent Australia in international gymnastics. That early exposure to elite performance gave her an intimate understanding of the physical, mental, and emotional demands placed on high achievers both on and off the field.
Following her competitive career, Samantha entered the fitness industry, becoming a qualified instructor at age 15 and progressing through every level of club operations from frontline staff to Club Manager, and eventually launching her own successful health and fitness business. Alongside her career, she competed professionally as a fitness athlete, earning multiple Ms. Fitness Australia titles and representing Australia on the global stage once again.
But behind the polished surface, Samantha was battling the invisible costs of performance: chronic stress, burnout, hormonal dysfunction, and emotional fatigue. Frustrated by the lack of integrated support, she turned her attention inward, combining her academic background, practical experience, and deep curiosity to rebuild herself from the inside out.
Today, Samantha brings this blend of personal insight and professional mastery to everything she does. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sport and Exercise Management, is a certified Master NLP Practitioner, and is currently completing a Master’s degree in Neuroscience. She has also served in senior leadership roles as a Health & Wellness Manager and High Performance Manager, specialising in performance coaching, behavioral change, and resilience strategy.
Samantha has worked with a diverse portfolio of clients including Olympic athletes, national-level coaches, CEOs, and senior executives delivering powerful results through a unique framework that integrates neuroscience, mindset, wellbeing, and leadership development.
As the founder of The Performance Mastery Group, her mission is clear:
To help high-performing individuals and teams achieve lasting clarity, confidence, and success without sacrificing their health, identity, or purpose along the way.
“True performance isn’t pressure-driven it’s clarity-led, purpose-fuelled, and built on personal alignment.”
