I worked closely with Brian Hemmings for well over 20 years in coaching England and Tour players and preparing them for tournament play. Brian always works in a warm, humorous and easy-to-understand way. I am confident that any time spent listening to Brian deliver coach education will bring great insights into the psychology of the game and provide techniques to improve the skills and mindset of any player.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian for many years as Head Coach for England Golf and at numerous conferences, seminars and bespoke coaching camps. His knowledge of sports psychology and its capacity to support the individual player and team is a great support to any team or individual coach. I gained great benefit from listening and watching him deliver his skills which undoubtedly not only improved my coaching abilities but offered valuable life skills to me as an individual. I challenge any coach to not feel their knowledge and skills of the mental side of sport have improved after listening to Brian.
