I am very fortunate to have had Ms Cox's help and she has taught me so much throughout this year. Not only was she helping me control my nerves when competitions were on, but when everything was closed, due to Covid-19, she still managed to help me and found ways to keep my motivation up. She is very easy to talk to and a great listener, which made our space feel confidential and allowed me to open up about how I felt. She always gave me a variety of solutions, so that I could that I could find what fit me best and I found this very useful, as it helped me understand what worked for me. On top of this, she helped me visualise my long-term objectives and through this i was able to make shorter term goals. Thanks to this unique experience my mentality has changed so much, and both my coaches and parents have realised it. I have been able to handle stress in competitions, making the experience much more enjoyable, and directly improved my results

I have learnt to work smarter instead of harder, to know how to track progress in specific ways and not just take part in excessive exercise but to set goals to work towards. It has helped me to understand that it is my progress and trying not to compare myself to others.

Consultations have enabled me to approach scenarios with a set of mechanisms to overcome and address the areas we identified as impacting my confidence. It has been very helpful to talk through the issues with someone outside of my usual circle, to receive an impartial viewpoint. The conversations have reinforced my own thoughts and helped to rebuild my confidence both on and off the pitch. The meetings were well planned, well managed and in a cadence that enabled a real time discussion/implementation/review cycle.

By identifying stress points, we were also able to produce strategies to overcome them. I have also noticed that I also have a stronger and more positive mindset when it comes to competing than I used to, which I believe has enabled me to perform better as a whole especially when I am out of my comfort zone.

My performances have improved and results have followed. I am more able to manage my own expectations and feelings on a padel court enabling a much more consistent and higher level of performance.

XXX has developed an appreciation of attributes needed, beyond the physical, to be a successful athlete - she has put into practice some of the techniques and grown in confidence thanks to these sessions. She has a much deeper understanding of psychology around sport and the benefits of it and a maturity of understanding that is definitely beyond her years - this I definitely put down to her sessions with you! Thank you!
