Dr. Brian Hemmings, C. Psychol.
HPC Registered Sport & Exercise Psychologist

Brian has been the lead psychologist to the England golf team for 15 years delivering high performance strategies with European and World Championship winning teams and individuals at men’s, youth and junior level.  During this time he has helped develop the mental skills of the best young emerging English golfers including the likes of Danny Willett, Chris Wood, Ross Fisher, Richard Finch, Ross McGowan,  Paul Waring,  Seve Benson, Gary Boyd and  David Horsey, along with many Walker Cup players such as R&A World No. 1 Jamie Moul, Matt Richardson, Sam Hutsby, Tommy Fleetwood and Seniors Tour winner and amateur legend Gary Wolstenhome. 

Brian has continued to work with many of these players into their professional careers on the various European tours. He is also the performance psychologist to the English Women’s Golf Association and several current LET players, including 2009 Solheim Cup star Becky Brewerton.  Brian is the author of the CD ‘In the Zone: Simple Mental Skills to Improve Your Golf’ and three books, including the best-seller ’Mental Toughness for Golf: The Minds of Winners’.   He is a regular presenter around the UK and Ireland on the PGA CPD programme, and has presented at the PGA National Conference.  As well as hosting three successful UK golf psychology conferences, Brian regularly runs Masterclasses in Golf Psychology for psychologists and golf coaches.

Brian has a wealth of experience in other sports, having worked with championship winning individuals and teams in professional cricket, 12 medallists in Olympic and Commonwealth Games boxing, and podium winners in single seat motor racing including Formula Ford, Formula 3, Superleague Formula, A1GP, GP2 & Formula 1.   Whilst golf consultancy takes up most of his time, Brian is still actively working in professional cricket and motor racing/speedway.

Brian gained his PhD in sport psychology from the University of Southampton in 1998; and has trained and mentored many golf psychology practitioners over the last decade.   He is also trained in hypnosis.
