OURÂ STORY
Â
Optima was born from a simple belief: peak performance is not just physical — it’s breath, mind, movement, and recovery working in complete alignment.
Founded by former professional footballer Jack McMillan, Optima emerged from years spent inside elite sport, where Jack combined breathwork, yoga, and meditation to manage pressure, prevent injury, and unlock deeper levels of performance. What began as personal practice became a powerful realisation: athletes weren’t being taught the tools that truly influence clarity, resilience, and longevity.
After retiring from football, Jack committed fully to mastering the science behind these tools - becoming a Master Instructor with the Oxygen Advantage while deepening his understanding of physiology, breath mechanics, nervous system training, meditation, and mindful movement. This led to the creation of Optima: a performance system designed to help high performers explore their body and mind on a deeper level so they can recover faster, think clearer, and perform higher under pressure.
