"Stansfield helped by psychologist over Blues move."

What is coaching?

Coaching isn’t just about picking someone up off the floor.

A common misconception of my coaching is that it’s for individuals that find themselves at rock bottom.

The amount of clubs and agents that would say “if we have someone that’s struggling, we’ll send them your way.”

That isn’t what it’s about.

It’s simply for people that want to get the very best from themselves.

Sometimes things aren’t going well for them. Sometimes things are going very well for them.

Jay Stansfield signed for Birmingham City for a record transfer fee.

It was at that point when he’s got pressure, expectation and a £9m price tag on his shoulders that he wants some support.

It’s speaking the unspeakable with someone. Understanding fear, emotion, that voice in your head, how to relax, how to accept and where you may be getting in your own way.

You don’t wait to get sick before you then start caring about your health. 

Make it a priority to bring out the very best in yourself.
