WHAT DO OTHER PEOPLE THINK?

Here are some thoughts from the athletes and coaches…

Soccer player, who was experiencing anxiety going into a major cup final.

The final was absolutely amazing and probably the best experience of my life! We were losing 2-0 with 10 minutes to go and we pulled back two goals to take it to extra time and then we won 5-4 on penalties! It was just the most amazing feeling ever! I’ve never enjoyed a football match so much in my life …I started the game and got subbed at about 80 minutes because I was just exhausted because I just ran my socks off! I was playing in centre midfield against two England Internationals! But I came off really pleased with my performance, I made a couple of mistakes but just smiled and got on with it.

Before the game I read out a printed copy of the ‘after thoughts’ summary you sent me and on the bus I just sat on my own listened to music and did some muscular relaxation and I felt so mentally and physically ready for the final and I KNEW that I could do it…

I also talked to my team mates about a week before the final about my negative experiences and that I might need a little bit of support at times in the final and that was a massive step and help too..

I have been so happy with everything and the final was a massive confidence boost!

I just wanted to say thank you for the time you spent with me and I know that I wouldn’t have been able to play or enjoy the final to the level that i did without you and that experience and if I ever feel ‘pressure’ or lack of self-worth again I will just read your after thoughts ..thank you so much! I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with you.

Just want to thank you for a fabulous presentation which I thought was perfect for the players and parents.
The boys enjoyed it so much.
