EDA COLLIVER GB INTERNATIONAL UNDER 17 WATER POLO PLAYER
I am a water polo player and currently a GB Junior international. After my first England representation I was fighting for re-selection after dislocating my shoulder, but it was my mental game that was really letting me down. I was hard on myself and never thinking that what I did was good enough. But most of all, I was terrified to make mistakes.
AFTER BEING COACHED BY JENNY
After working with Jenny, I gained my second England selection and have played for GB at the U17 European Championships. This was something I saw as impossible before my coaching with Jenny. Even my coaches said that I wouldn't make selection unless I sorted my psychological game out.
My coaches and family have noticed a difference when I play as I am now free from worries. Even if they do start to creep in, I have techniques to help me get back in the zone.
Jenny has also helped me cope with the multiple injuries that I had leading up to GB selection and the pressure that came alongside getting back to my peak.
The following are testimonials from clients who have wanted to maintain their privacy, something I am very respectful of. They can however be contacted through me if you would like further information.
'Jenny has a gift for this sort of performance training and I can't thank her enough for taking on my performance issues and guiding me to a better place.
I thoroughly recommend her as a sports performance coach'
I was in a very bad place because when anything went badly I went into a melt down and when I made a mistake it started a downward spiral. After following the mental skills training programme , I am now playing consistently better than ever before: I just can't believe the improvement"

Before working with Jenny I was underachieving, I always felt like my mental game was the reason for this so we set about improving it.
The hardest thing I faced was moving on from a poor shot and playing automatically under extreme pressure. Talking this through and with simple but effective written handouts, the problems were quickly eliminated.
I really enjoyed working on my mental side especially as I saw my performances improve. If you’re willing to put in the hard work, Jenny will be behind you all the way. She is a great coach and offers successful solutions top any obstacles in your way.
I now feel like a reborn kid who plays snooker for the fun, when before it felt like life or death !.
I started seeing Jenny because I was struggling to perform due to panic before and during competitions. I couldn’t focus on my game and I could only think about the prospect of losing.
Within 5 months my mental game was so strong that I made the England team and won 4 gold medals and a silver, breaking all records previously held.
I have been selected for the English team to play in the European Championships and I am over the moon.
Jenny taught me so many techniques to manage with the pressure whilst focussing on the positive areas of my performance and gave me fantastic visualisation exercises and routines to focus my mind.'
MENTAL GAME OF GOLF COURSE
Andy Lichfield
Having read multiple golf psychology books, I wanted to try an alternative approach to two recurring weaknesses:
lack of belief/conviction/confidence
inconsistent putting, notably re.shorter puts.
I found the opportunity to question, challenge and have a two way discussion to be extremely beneficial. Jenny’s relaxed, informal and open approach was very helpful for me.
A better understanding of the reasons for the weaknesses and the techniques learned have contributed to me, at 55 having my lowest ever handicap .

Jenny is a fantastic coach. I really enjoyed the course and it changed my amateur golf game completely.
I was about to give up golf altogether but her coaching helped me to re-frame my approach to the game and now I can take the rough with the smooth.
In particular nerves are now my ‘performance fuel’ so when butterflies appear, I am able to use them in a positive way.
NICK NEALE WORLD DISABILITY SNOOKER CHAMPION November 2017
I decided to start playing snooker again after a long lay off. After a few months I knew something was not right with my snooker. That’s when I decided to look at the mental side of the game.
When I found Jenny I was very unsure at the start but after working with Jenny she has done wonders for me. She has totally changed my way of thinking and my snooker is great aain.
Jenny is so committed and her knowledge is unreal. I would like to thank Jenny from the bottom of my heart because she has given me the tools to play and think right again. Thank you Jenny
“I approached Jenny as my match day nerves were getting so bad that I considered giving up playing, even though I was getting paid to do so! She gave me some really good exercises and routines to follow and I have now learned to cope with my anxiety and know where to focus my mind and how to make things better for myself.
I really enjoyed the coaching sessions – Jenny is very understanding, supportive and makes the coaching really interesting and enjoyable. I used to look forward to the coaching sessions as we had a good laugh even though we worked really hard and achieved lots.”
After finishing a course with Jenny I feel like a different and better player. Now I play to my own tempo and I keep my calm whilst others around me lose theirs.'
