Sports performance

Are fears of failure or past memories preventing you from achieving your personal best?

Do you perform really well in training but find yourself going to pieces on the Big Day?

Do you feel that something inexplicable is holding you back, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is?

Maybe you just want to get that extra edge on the competition?

If so, I can help.

'Another fab week, just returned from a competition with a first! It has just transformed my life.'

'Not fearing the speed was the first concrete thing I noticed. Now I've just been reflecting over the last four sets I've had since, and I've moved forward every time. Everything my coach is telling me is going in (and just working!) We've got rid of a major stumbling block, so thank you very much! I'm really, really enjoying it, and on Sunday, my final set I realised as we came back to the dock, I'd just been totally in the zone, which is exactly, above all, what I wanted to achieve. So thanks again for all your help!'

Paul Marshall, water skier, York

My approach is based on my research in the psychology and neuroscience of well-being and my many years of experience working with people in training and development.

Until the age of sixteen, I trained professionally as a ballerina, before a series of injuries forced me to abandon dancing as a career. I understand what is involved in being the best you can be, and I can help you to achieve your personal best, or support you in managing the transition time at the end of your sporting career.

What's more, my experience of power-walking marathons means that I really can walk my talk and bring that extra bit of insight to helping you to find out what works best for you.

Mental training is just as important as physical training
If you're involved in sport, you will probably be spending hours every week training your physical body, but it's now widely recognised that mental training is just as important as physical training.

The way that you prepare for your match, trial, race or round, the way that you use your mind during the event and the way that you mentally evaluate your performance once you're back in the changing room, can be the difference between being a good and a truly outstanding sports person.

Hypnotherapy and EFT techniques, together with practical personal development strategies can also help you to get so much more enjoyment and fulfilment out of your chosen sport.
