Bradley Charles Stubbs claims he has taken Trent Robinson astral travelling – a state where the spirit leaves the body and goes into the future – during his association with the premiership-winning Roosters coach.

Stubbs, who is dubbed the “Coach Whisperer” after working with leading sporting mentors including Robinson, Michael Maguire, Eddie Jones, Graham Arnold and Michael Cheika, has provided an insight into his methods in his new self-published book, The Science of the Subconscious.

The book tells the story of a professional surfer whose career was ended prematurely due to a car accident, the subsequent nervous breakdown that resulted in him being locked in a psychiatric ward in a straightjacket and padded cell, and how the episode led him to turning his life around by studying the subconscious mind.

Stubbs, who wears three NRL premiership rings from stints with Robinson and Maguire, has passed on those teachings to some of sport’s most respected coaches. One of his key tenets is “believership”, which is a phrase he coined to describe an unshakeable belief in one’s purpose.

However, the most intriguing chapters of the book – an advanced copy of which was provided to this masthead – details his interactions with the nation’s top mentors.

“I took Trent Robinson, Sydney Roosters NRL head coach, astral travelling in the lead-up to the match between the Roosters and Broncos in 2020, where I told him, and he saw a win in excess of 50+ to nil,” Stubbs writes. “The Roosters went on to win 59 to nil. Done!”
