TESTIMONIALS
"Adrian gave me simple, effective mental strategies to move my game to a whole new level. His professional attitude towards his discipline is clear to see. I would encourage amateurs and professionals alike to book a session with him and see the results".

"Adrian -
Lizi won her Club Championship yesterday. She was pleased as she beat her County colleague by one shot.
She remained calm throughout adversity! Even more impressive was the way she refocused herself immediately after she walked off the green. The theme of the round really was switch on/off as you requested. We both enjoyed the experience much more at the conclusion and she was more content in herself at the end. Lizi feels rejuvenated in her enthusiasm for the game and directions to go in to improve. She sees it as a challenge with an end product. Will keep in touch and organise a further session at Christmas."

"Hi Adrian
Thanks for the session on Monday - It really inspired me and without evens practising I was on the greens yesterday concentrating on holing the putts as opposed to thinking what other people were thinking !! - What a difference and really, really enjoyed it, I know I've still got a long way to go but loved it so thank you so much.
Look forward to seeing you on 9th June."

"Hi Adrian,
Many thanks for the advice. I have been following your advice and trying to relax more during a stroke play event. Got it to 4 under after 11 holes last Saturday and felt that I started trying to steer the ball rather than swing through it.
Dropped shots on 12 and 13 but managed to finish on 1 under by concentrating on just swinging through the ball.
Hopefully next time I get to 4 under I will have learned how to increase to 5 or 6 under!
Will keep you informed!"

"Hi Adrian,
Yes we both enjoyed Friday - I certainly learnt a lot and I know Sam did too. He shot 66 (-6) on Saturday in a Woburn competition so is now down to +1.5. I'm sure Friday contributed a lot to that. Sam would definitely like to see you again."

"Adrian
Thanks very much for the session on Saturday. This week I'm playing in the North of England U'16's. I shot level par yesterday, so I'm tied 7th out of 130. I played really well. The 'picking targets' part has helped loads. I didn't miss a fairway and sht 3 under front 9. I beat the current England U16 Champion. Many thanks again."

"Hi Adrian
It is only in recent years that sports psychology has been accepted as a valuable tool in a sportsman's tool kit for him or her to achieve success. Having purchased books and programmes on golf psychology I still needed someone to make the theory real. I started working with Adrian through the Warwickshire County coaching programme and connected with him immediately. Adrian's listening and questioning style soon identified a number of techniques or tools that would help me deliver my best. Over a series of sessions Adrian helped me understand these techniques, helped me develop them and then use these tools out on the course.
Adrian uses a mix of traditional psychology techniques along with more progressive techniques such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Electroencephalography (EEG). These techniques may sound as if they have come straight from a medical journal but they have been successfully used by top sportsmen and women with great success.
Adrian using a combination of the techniques above has certainly helped me develop a series of tools that has taken my game to the next level."

"I wasn't holing enough putts due to leaving them short so I decided to see Adrian as my technique is sound. Having only had a couple of sessions with Adrian on his 'Trance Hypnosis' philosophy I was amazed with the results in such a short space of time. Not only am I getting the ball to the hole at pace I am holing more. I look forward to working with Adrian in others areas of the game."

"Adrian has been a valuable member of the Warwickshire Golf Union's Elite Coaching Squad for over 4 years. In that time he's made a significant impact on the individual players all round performance both on and off the course. Adrian's impact can also be seen within the team dynamics and how the Junior and Men's team have formed a tight bond with a fun and winning mentality. Adrian has a wide range of experience, tools and processes that have helped all members of team improve their mental performances."

"Hey went really well and enjoyed myself. I learnt to control the things I can and let the score look after itself. Thanks, things looking a lot better now.

"Hi Adrian, thought I'd let you know I had 29 putts yesterday in the last round, really happy with the way I putted, massive step forward, will call you later. Thanks again for your help, couldn't have done it without your in put that's for sure.

"2010 was probably my personal worst ever golf season. I had set myself various goals at the start of the season but I failed to achieve any of them. For the first time ever I was actually contemplating giving up playing golf. I was actually embarrassed by my behaviour on the course as I was losing my temper in every round.
I had a one-on-one session with Adrian in October 2010. It was to have the most dramatic effect on me.
Adrian recognised that goals did not inspire me, but actually had the reverse reaction in me. Instead Adrian set me some "guidelines" which were more temperament orientated - to smile on every hole, to play with no consequences and to feel like an "enjoyment switch" was turned on as I put my golf shoes on. Adrian suggested that I should imagine that my demeanour (rather than my play) was being filmed as I went round the course and that the film would then be shown to the junior members of my golf club.
The change in my behaviour was instant. My love for the game came flooding back and with the enjoyment returned, so too did my good play. I won the first competition that I entered after my session with Adrian and the first qualifying event of the 2011 season saw me score 40 stableford points and a handicap trim. I owe my return to form to Adrian's assistance. I am now firmly back in love with the game and I would be proud for the juniors to watch the film of my on-course demeanour."
