About Ben Lyttleton
Ben Lyttleton is a prominent football analyst and author who examines how the world’s most popular sport can provide vital lessons for professional and personal success. As a director and co-owner of the Danish club Akademisk Boldklub, he possesses first-hand experience in sports management and leadership. His acclaimed book, Twelve Yards: The Art & Psychology of the Perfect Penalty, is recognised as the definitive study on the mental and technical aspects of performing under pressure.
Beyond his work in the boardroom and as an author, Ben collaborates with elite organisations including football clubs and NBA teams to refine their competitive strategies. He is also the co-creator of the best-selling Football School series, an initiative designed to encourage literacy and learning through the lens of sport. His expertise spans human resources, marginal gains, and the underlying mechanics of peak performance.
Organisations book Ben for his unique ability to translate high-stakes sporting scenarios into practical strategies for modern business environments. He provides audiences with a compelling perspective on how to foster excellence and maintain a psychological edge in any field.
On stage, Ben Lyttleton is best known for talks on Marginal Gains, HR & People and Peak Performance. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
