Dave has worked deep inside some of the greatest teams in UK sporting history and brings a unique insight into the people, strategies, and success factors which have contributed to the extraordinary transformations of the England Rugby Team, Team GB and the England football team.
Working with players like Martin Johnson, Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Matt Dawson, Jason Leonard and Will Greenwood, he created a new standard for international rugby preparation which resulted in the team being unbeaten for 4 years, winning a Grand Slam and a World Cup in 2003 after extra time with the oldest team in the tournament. He was honoured with an MBE in 2004.
39 sports, 542 athletes, 1500 staff and the pressure of delivering at a home Olympic games. Working in a complex multi-stakeholder environment, he led the development of an unprecedented portfolio of support which helped to power Team GB to a record medal haul.
Dave was a key architect of the transformation of England teams over a 6 year period driving the development of a radically progressive new strategy of "What It Takes to Win", utilising many lessons learnt from other sports and businesses. This work led to the most consistently successful period in England football history across its 24 national teams including World Cup wins at u20 and u17 level, European championship wins at u19 and a World Cup semi-final for men's and women's senior teams.
Dave worked alongside Gareth Southgate and inside the senior England Team throughout this period, leading all of the planning for the 2018 World Cup, England’s best finish for 26 years.
Synergising expertise from sporting performance, commercial and financial perspectives, Pitch32 helps investors re-imagine how to create inevitable success in football clubs through the creation of the next generation of club strategies and operating models.

In this session, Dave takes the audience behind the scenes on the journey of the Football Association and the England Footballteam from 2014 to 2020, a period of unprecedented success.
Starting with chairman Greg Dykes call to action, Dave charts the many challenges, brave decisions and inspirational moments of this journey.
From convincing the FA board to invest, to implementing radical change, from Roy Hodgson through Sam Allarydyce to Gareth Southgate. Dave Reddin played a unique and powerful role in this story and brings you a unique perspective from inside the team to understand the people, the culture and the strategy for success.
Over 30 years, Dave Reddin has amassed an absolutely unique experience of working in some of the best teams in world sport. From the heights of winning a Rugby World Cup in 2003, to a challenging Lions tour in 2005, through a myriad of elite football clubs, on to the London Olympic Games and finally to the England Football team.
Distilling these incredible experiences into the essential ingredients of High Performance teams Dave talks in highly relatable and practical terms about how to super-charge strategy, why brilliant basics beat marginal gains, the power of diversity and how culture is an unrecognised competitive advantage.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast, but how do you develop a strategy for culture? Using the backdrop of cultural challenge and change in some of the world's top sports teams, Dave takes the audience through a journey into developing purposeful cultures for performance.
From understanding purpose and values to the development of deep personal and organisational identity, Dave gives practical examples of how to make high performance culture a competitive advantage. Brought to life with emotive stories and powerful video and imagery, this session gives audiences the tools to take charge of their own culture.
In high performance sport, the media loves to focus on the leader or the star athlete as the alchemist responsible for winning through the intangible magic of their talent. In this session, Dave lifts the lid on how the best teams really prepare to win.
Through ruthlessly focused strategy, to the mindset of thinking differently and on to the development of a unique operational DNA to sustain performance, Dave brings a huge diversity of practical examples examples to life including how small team strategy and mentality won the Rugby World Cup in 2003, and how the development of a unique What It Takes to Win model at the Football Association has powered the performance of England Football teams in the past decade.
