Hi, I'm Staff Swaino.
In 2017, I quit school to pursue my dream full-time.
Since then, I've lived and breathed professional MMA, training & fighting full-time across Thailand, Australia, America, and the UK.
But it isn't what you probably think. It wasn't flashy or glamorous.
I mopped the gym floors,
slept on the same mats I trained on,
and at times, even used a crash mat as a blanket.
I built my entire life around one goal: Making it to the UFC & dominating.
But in 2023, a brain injury took me out of the cage and forced me to rebuild, but this time...
MY SPEECH.
I had to go all in. But this time, with my communication.
Through speech therapy, structured exposure, and public speaking,
I learned firsthand how pressure hijacks communication and how it can be trained.
What started as a personal challenge turned into an obsession with understanding public speaking.
Today, I speak on performing under pressure, through resilience, and public speaking.
If performing under pressure matters to you or your team, let’s connect.
