About

Two coaches, one table

A mindset coach and a breath coach, working on the same player from two sides.

001Why we started

Owen spent years playing mid-stakes tournaments. He knew the right lines. What he couldn't always do was make them at 2 am, card-dead, after a brutal cooler. Coaching other players, he kept meeting the same problem.

Theo came from the other side. He taught breathwork to athletes, people who need to think clearly with a racing pulse. When a poker player joined one of his groups, the fit was obvious.

Giving Tree Poker started when they compared notes. Owen works on what you believe and how you decide. Theo works on the body those decisions come from.
