Nick Woodbridge - Swimmer


" As a performance psychology coach, my job is to show athletes, teams, coaches and organisations how they can adapt to the pressures of their sport. When I have done my job well it is this pressure that brings out the best in them.....and winning becomes a habit that is difficult to break."

Charlie Unwin

How successful would you be if you could recreate your
best performances...every time you competed?

The world's most consistent champions have all achieved their success by being highly adaptive to the psychological pressures that define competitive sport. They have all learnt to embrace these pressures by exerting control on their thoughts, behaviour and emotions. In sport, our thoughts and emotions have a dramatic influence on how successful we are because they directly affect our behaviour.

The impact of psychology coaching is therefore starting to be realised. With some athletes this impact is quite profound, breaking down barriers that have held them back for too long.


 




"After attending a presentation of Charlie's which I really enjoyed he came to see me in order to discuss psychology in more detail. I found the work we did fascinating and now see important patterns surrounding my very successful years. I really recommend Charlie to anyone who is interested in using a psychologist as I have found it fascinating and wouldn't have been convinced a few weeks ago, so just watch and see what happens next year, I think it's going to be a good one."

"I started working with Charlie because I really needed help with the confidence issues I had been experiencing with my riding - especially in competition. The work we did really helped me take control of my performance which I am pleased to say had a dramatic impact on my results."

"Charlie Unwin began working with us six weeks before our run to the final of Henley Royal Regatta and played a significant part in our success. Our crew benefited greatly from the relaxation and visualisation techniques Charlie introduced us to. Charlie went out of his way to understand us as individuals and as a group and to understand the skills and demands of rowing. His programme was tailored specifically to meet our needs and his sessions were always innovative, challenging and fun."
Nicholas Neving
Vesta Rowing Club, Henley Finalists

"We sought Charlie's help to prepare us for the biggest event of our annual racing calendar, Henley Royal Regatta. In the short six week period prior to the Regatta, Charlie worked on a number of different visualisation and relaxation exercises with us which helped develop an extremely strong bond between the crew and which gave us invaluable techniques to use in our training and racing. We ended up having the most successful Henley that our club has had in some twenty-five years and whilst there were many contributing factors to this success, it was due in no small part to the added-edge which the work with Charlie gave us. I would not hesitate to enlist Charlie's expertise again in the future and would be pleased to recommend him to anyone, with the definite exception of any of our competitors!"
