Don't Beat Yourself

Jack Nicklaus' wise words

"Early in my career I learnt a huge lesson. Don't beat yourself. There will always be others who may beat you. But whatever you do, don't beat yourself."

Testimonials

Danny Willett European Tour Professional; "When Brian and I work together it mostly consists of talking about how I can compete more effectively. We also discuss my process goals, because these are the things that I can control, and then I trust the results will come. Staying in the present and going through the same processes over and over again."

Chris Wood European Tour Professional; "Since I started working with Brian in 2003 as part of the Gloucestershire junior team my game transformed through the national amateur ranks and onto the European tour. In almost 7 years of work together we covered many areas in my mental game and many of the things worked on were used in the Open at Royal Birkdale to be able to picture myself on the 1st tee in my first major, probably the hardest shot I have ever had to hit mentally. It turned out to be one of my best of the tournament!"

Tommy Fleetwood European Tour Professional; “Since I started working with Brian I have consistently competed at the highest levels. He has taught me how to deal with many different situations on and off the course and is a pleasure to work with.”

Paul Waring European Tour Professional "I've worked with Brian for over ten years now since I was an England boy golfer. He has always explained the importance of planning, routines, self assessment and goal setting. It's something we all need so we can see ourselves progress and therefore gain confidence from."

Seve Benson European Challenge Tour Professional; "I have worked with Brian since I was 15 and on an England Boys Squad. Endless respect for him. A truly great person. A big help to my success."

Sam Hutsby European Tour Professional; ''I worked with Brian for 6 years, and he gave me so much confidence in my game! He taught me how to prepare well for major tournaments and how to deal with unexpected situations on the course which helped me get the best out of my rounds and these made me a much more consistent player. I used some of Brian's drills in my putting and we have both saw it improve dramatically! Brian is a fantastic guy to get along with and you feel as if you can tell him anything…. which is what a sport psychologist is about!"
