Chris Wood
5th Place 2008 Open Championship,
European Tour
"Since I started working with Brian in 2003 as part of the gloucestershire junior team my game has transformed through the national amateur ranks and now onto the European tour. In almost 6 years of work together we have 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!"

"When Brian and I work together it mostly consists of talking about how I can practise 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."

"I've worked with Brian Hemmings for many years now, and in all that time I've found Brian's insights, presentation and resourceful thinking very useful both for the team as a whole while working with the England Elite players and also for me personally. I'm sure that over a period of time Brian can help any golfer evolve to become a better competitor, and a better individual utilising his extensive knowledge of sports psychology" |

Steve Tiley
European Men's Team Championship Winner 2005,

"Working with Brian over the past 4 years and listening to his views on the mental side of the game, there is no doubt in my mind that the mental game is the most important thing in professional golf. Brian has a great way of making the mental game simple and easy to learn and always gives you his 100% attention" |

Sam Hutsby
GB&I; England International
Spanish Amateur Champion 2007
''I've been working with Brian for the past 6 years now, and he has giving me so much confidence in my game! He has taught me how to prepare well for major tournaments and how to deal with unexpected situations on the course which have helped me get the best out of my rounds and these have made me a much more consistent player. I have used some of Brian's drills in my putting and we have both seen 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!" |
