World Class Athletes

Cast your mind back to your best performances. How would you describe your mind-set?

Not thinking - I just did it - effortless - everything just flowed naturally.

What about your worst performances?

Thinking about what I was doing - trying to make it happen.

Most of us know that thinking too much is the route to the nightmare, but can you control it? Have you ever tried to think "don't think about the mistake". Did it work? Usually, trying not to think about something, or block it out, has the opposite effect.

Don't think about the colour blue. Seriously, don't think about blue. What are you thinking about?

Can you control your mind? Can you engineer your best performance almost every time?

Sport psychology is actually not about adding anything new to you. It's about stripping away the crap that interferes with your performance and stops you doing what you do best.

My aim is to help you stick to your game plan, whatever happens.

Examples
GB Olympic Swimmer
At the start - He had difficulties maintaining consistent performance & confidence at World Student Games.
When we finished - 8 years on, he finished his career as a double Olympian with 2 Commonwealth Golds.

International Long Jumper
At the start - He was training well but couldn't translate it into performance. He was suffering under the pressure of competition and was not producing near best jumps.
When we finished - We did 6 sessions over a 6 week period, culminating in a P.B. and 2nd place in the 3As National Championship (Olympic trial).

England International Golfer
At the start - He was a very talented county player but his game was fragile. If he made a couple of mistakes he would start to think too much and his game could crash within a couple of holes (from birdies to bogies).
When we finished - He was an England International who was renowned for his ‘solid' game and mental strength.

Professional Motor Racing Driver
At the start - He was cracking under pressure and was on the verge of depression following a number of poor performances. He was 10th out of 14 in the championship and was concerned about his future in the sport.
When we finished - He was 2nd in the championship with 1 race to go and driving well in a car that was under-performing.

International Squash Player
At the start - She ranked #1 and was cracking under the weight of expectation. The result was that she'd started to lose to lesser ranked opposition and was seriously under-performing.
When we finished - We did 4 sessions over a 6 week period, leading up to the British Championships. The result was a double championship win and selection as captain for the World Championships.

Super League Rugby League Player
At the start - His confidence was shot to bits; he started to think too much, he was dropping balls, making bad decisions and giving away penalties.
When we finished - Following an hour together, he was man-of-the-match in his next game.

International Rugby Union Player
At the start - Our player was just emerging into the full international side. They were having a little trouble with consistency in their kicking game. They also knew that their best performances happened when they played intuitively and ‘in the moment' but they found it difficult to stop over- thinking.
When we finished - The player had captained their country for the first time having built a solid kicking game and playing natural, creative rugby.

Fees & Pricing Structure
Obviously all of the work with all clients is completely bespoke. The fee is dictated by the value that the programme will have on the organisation. I know that's not very useful if you're trying to get an idea of cost so...

Individual sessions start from a minimum of £200.00 per hour plus VAT and expenses.
