You, the client, are the person who has an intimate knowledge of your sport. You know the physical, mental and emotional responses necessary to be good at what you do.

Whilst Roseanna may know something about your sport, she will not have your intimate knowledge. She is simply a coach, a facilitator; the knowledge she has relates to how the mind works, how to focus, how to overcome self-doubt, how to change destructive habits and patterns of behaviour... in short, how to overcome mental obstacles and to succeed, to win in your chosen sport; To put the knowledge and ability you have into practice with consistency and to push past internal barriers.

It has been shown that the link between confidence and performance is a direct relationship; The greater the confidence, the greater the performance. It is all too easy to dwell on past failures. But this creates a negative performance next time. Roseanna will show you how to remember successes, to recall and relive them and to feel the confidence and drive from these times and to draw upon the components of success and transfer them to your future performance.

Your problem may be that you perform well in practice, but get too nervous when it really matters. The difference between anxiety and excitement is very slight and you can be shown ways of channelling any anxiety into positive motivation and energy, so as to lift your performance up to a higher level.

Many people are distracted by some aspect of the environment in which they perform. Roseanna can help you to focus, really focus, to achieve a tunnel of concentration and mental fixation, so that any unnecessary element takes a back seat and no longer interferes with your performance.

Some people don't achieve their maximum potential simply because they don't set goals for themselves. They just turn up and "see how it goes". With this type of approach the result is, needless to say, haphazard! It is hugely important in sport to set realistic goals for yourself and stage goals between now and the end goal. But just thinking about that goal is not enough. Roseanna will show you how to visualise your goal, to really feel it happening now and to programme it into your future.

Visualisation is a hugely important part of successful sport. If someone is truly visualising themselves in some physical activity, research has shown that the brain impulses to the muscles involved actually take place and some minute stimuli of the muscles occurs during visualisation. Hence one is not only communicating mentally but establishing a physical "memory" too (Richardson "Psycho Neuromuscular Theory" 1967).

Roseanna can show you ways to change patterns of negative self-talk, so that you not only overcome their limiting effect, but replace it with hugely positive and motivating inner dialogue. Additionally Roseanna can help create connections between "trigger words" and a desired state of concentration and focus, so as to anchor that feeling and employ it whenever you want to.

Even if you have reached a feeling of "burn out" this too can be overcome. Roseanna utilises hypnotic suggestion, NLP techniques and positive visualisation to assist in achieving your goals and living your dreams. So whether you have a problem that needs addressing or simply want to get even better at what you do, help is just a phone call away...
