Sam Wones, a former Royal Marines Commando, will be speaking at the Scottish Dental Show in June.

Sam will deliver a lecture, Sustainable Performance Under Pressure: understanding and practical applications, during which delegates will learn practical psychological skills that can help prepare them for imminent stressful moments.

With a background in sports and a career of more than a decade in the Royal Marines, Sam is well-placed to talk about stress, resilience and performance. He is co-founder of The Adaptable Human Project.

His list of qualifications includes Sport and PE (Hons) BSc, Level 5 Coaching and Mentoring, Resilience Practitioner, Positive Psychology Practitioner, Sleep Ambassador, Level 2 Counselling Diploma, Fitness Instructor, Trauma Risk Management Practitioner and Sleep, Stress Management and Recovery Coach.

Through his degree, he studied and worked with elite-level sports people and their coaches; looking into methods and practices used to develop and maintain high levels of performance. On graduating, he worked in the fitness industry, specifically in a performance training centre. He worked with athletes, sports teams, special-forces soldiers and members of the public.

His proudest achievement in the Royal Marines was representing them and the wider Royal Navy as a competitive shooter. He won the title RM Champion At Arms; top shot for rifle and pistol in the Defence Operational Shooting Competition.
