Elite Sports Mind Coaching

Hailing from Galway, my name is Rob Kelly and I am a Qualified Sports Mind Coach. Sports Mind Coaching is a form of sports psychology used to help Athletes and Performers both Amateur & Professional with any mental barriers or limiting beliefs that prevent them from achieving peak performance states. While one time this service was only made available to the Professional Athlete, it is my belief that anyone with a passion for success in their chosen sport should be able to avail of the coaching regardless of their level. So much focus is placed on Technical and Physical skill that more often than not, the Mental Performance is forgotten about. Some of the issues that my clients come to me with are:
• Fear of failure
• Loss of confidence
• Performance anxiety
• Negative self-talk
• Lack of self-belief
• Stress
• Anger(mistakes, playing bad, losing, bad luck etc)
• Impatience
• Not trusting your gut
• Overly aggressive decision making
• Struggling to bring practice game to competition
Growing up I played a vast amount of sports, such as, Golf, Tennis,Basketball,Swimming,Football & Rowing. Having played competitively in sports at a young age, I truly recognise the benefits of a strong mental game. At that age, I would have known very little about Sports Psychology and I could pick several issues from the above list that would have affected me. It is because of this, that I have a true understanding of where my clients are coming from when they struggle with any of these issues and it is my passion to help them by equipping them with the skills necessary to overcome these issues and achieve the goals and success that they desire. I believe that its only right to give yourself the best opportunity for success and if your going to spend so much time on the Technical & Physical aspects of the game, then it only makes sense to devote adequate time to your Mental Performance. After all, it is said that if you can “Master the Mind” then you can “Master the Game”.
With all new clients, I do a free consultation (usually a Coffee & a Chat) to give you a better understanding of Sports Mind Coaching and how it can help you bring about success in your chosen sport. Often a client will notice, that the Skills that I teach can also be used to bring about positive change in other areas of their life, such as Success in work, better relationships and an all round better feeling of Wellbeing. Once you have had your initial consultation and we have decided to work together, then the next step is a Sports Profile Assessment. It is through this that I can then plan out a strategy to make sure you achieve your success. My coaching is organized around your goals, so once they have been achieved, we either say goodbye, or we come up with new areas of your mental game to work on. I have clients that are satisfied with what we have accomplished in just a handful of sessions and I have other clients that are so driven to improve that we have been working regularly long term. Ultimately it’s up to you. Book a Free Consultation today!
