Arguably one of the most competitive people you’ll ever meet, an ever-improving golfer and a fully accredited Mental Performance Coach to golfers.   

Growing up playing multiple sports at county and international level, I backed myself to be able to get good at golf pretty quickly.  After all, the ball isn’t moving as you hit it, you can take your time to prepare for the shot, and there isn’t any opposition looking to throw themselves at you with studs or other implements.  What I didn’t realise was that the biggest obstacle to putting in my best performances out on the course was going to be the six inches between my ears!

Like many golfers out there, I went through a phase where I stopped enjoying the game.  I forgot why I played, and was focussed only on the outcome of each round in my quest for a lower score and better handicap.  I was utterly frustrated that I wasn't improving despite sacrificing time, money and effort to lessons, new equipment and practice.  I’m happy to say that I overcame that phase, but I wouldn’t have done so without investing in my mental game.

My mental performance journey started out similarly to most golfers I speak to; I read some books, I listened to podcasts and I bought a couple of apps.  Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of lessons to be had in all of those avenues, but for someone who had been accustomed to professional coaching for over a decade, I knew I could be making much faster progress with a targeted and personalised approach.  I struggled to find that option back then, and in struggling to find it, I knew I’d found my calling.

Fast forward some years and here we are today.  I work with amateur and professional golfers all over the world, helping them shoot lower scores and enjoy the game more through mental performance coaching. 

It’s funny how this journey has developed.   Bobby Jones said, “golf is the closest game to the game we call life” ...and that becomes true for a lot of the clients I work with.  Improving your mental performance in golf can often lead to meaningful personal transformations beyond the course.  My coaching has empowered players at all ages to start achieving greater success in not only their golf, but in their lives too.
