Premiership Football Player wanted to learn how to make his game more consistent.

Nick was curious as to why he experienced inconsistency with his football performance. Some days he played extremely well, other days things could go wrong for him. Once things started to go wrong, his negative thoughts spiraled out of control. Whilst Nick was physically as fit as ever, he noticed his concentration and focus tended to waver during a match. He was frightened of being put on the bench. He started weekly 1hour sessions online in our secure chatroom with his personal Sports Psychologist. After just a few sessions Nick's game became more consistent. Through the advice and support of his sport psychologist Nick learnt concentration techniques to help prevent him from being distracted. Thought control techniques helped ensure that he used his mind constructively. He has reported playing well in every game this season! Now he has an occasional session to make sure he stays on track.

• 'I approach games differently now, I have played all ten games this season well.'
• 'I am more consistent in my performance. I have really developed my concentration skills. I feel more in control - I have felt confident in every single game.'
• 'You can go online to suit yourself, I usually go on two days before a game, so that I can refocus myself.'
• 'I used to spend all day thinking 'what if' - I'd get myself really worked up and would end up losing focus in actual games. Now I use strategies to control this with incredible results. I would definitely recommend using sportpsychologyonline!'
