Athletic Mindset

We started the coaching program with Steve earlier this year. As parents we were facing challenges with resilience and emotional management on the sports field and pressure he was putting on himself to ‘be the best’ – he is only 12. Steve’s program placed a strong emphasis on teaching valuable life skills such as responsibility, gratitude, and improved relationships on and off the sports field. We could see Steve had a knack of communicating in our son’s ‘language’. Our son felt very comfortable from the first meeting and felt that he could express himself and also relate to Steve as he is an athlete himself. There was a level of trust built from the beginning. Steve puts a lot of thought into how he delivers his messages and really creates an individual program. Each week was personalised and used examples from our son’s week to help him understand and get him to think! We could really see it sinking in. We have also noticed him using the techniques he has learned in his daily life and choosing to make different decisions. Invaluable!

Steve has been fantastic for our son. In a very short space of time he has given him a great toolbox to help deal with the pressure, the highs and the lows of competitive sport. Thoroughly recommend 👍🏼

Steve works exceptionally well with both sisters, balancing empathy with honesty. While they are still young, he understands the size of their goals and consistently helps them look forward, focusing on the things that will enable success. He listens when needed, but isn’t afraid to share the hard facts when necessary. Importantly, he encourages them never to take the easy route, but instead the one with the greatest potential to help them grow, both as people and as athletes. He also ensures they remain grounded in who they are, never losing sight of their values as they chase their ambitions. His ability to push them to think deeper and question themselves has been invaluable. Steve is not only a trusted mentor to the athletes, but also a great support to their wider team. I would not hesitate, even for a second in recommending Steve and Athletic Mindset to any athlete.

From the initial contact to the final session, I truly believe my 15yr old son has benefitted from the program that was tailored to his needs. We initially went in looking for some support with my sons mental well-being in a sports environment, but we feel the program addresses more than that, it's given him tools he can tap into for daily routine activities. My son looked forward to his weekly sessions and felt that it was a safe space and felt supported and listened to. Well worth the investment to see our son tackle life head on. Thanks Steve. Highly recommend these guys and the service they provide.

I have been training with Steve for 10 months once a week and the experience is great! He helps me achieve my fitness goals of feeling good, fit and strong for my physically demanding job. Every training session is different, intense but also fun. I enjoy how he trains me :] Steve is knowledgeable, motivating and truly cares about my progress and health. I am now 20 weeks pregnant and we are still continuing our weekly training. I trust him completely, the exercise is safe, he focuses on my health and preparation for the future with the baby. I highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to up their fitness game.

In a world that’s constantly evolving — where pressure and stress are always just around the corner — having the right mindset isn’t optional, it’s essential. Steve's ability to challenge my thinking, push me out of my comfort zone, and connect mindset theory to real-world application has been invaluable. What stands out most is his knack for asking the right questions — the ones that make you stop, reflect, and reframe your perspective. These conversations haven’t just been theoretical; they’ve led to tangible changes in how I approach challenges, manage setbacks, and maintain focus on long-term goals. Working with Steve has helped me excel in every aspect of my life — from being a leader in my professional career, to being present with my kids, to staying focused in my studies. His guidance hasn’t just influenced how I think, but how I show up in all areas that matter most to me. His approach blends accountability with encouragement. He’s not afraid to hold the mirror up and highlight where your own thinking is holding you back, but he does it in a way that’s constructive and motivating. It’s clear that his goal is not just to inspire you in the moment, but to equip you with tools you can use for the rest of your life.

Steve is professional, and tunes into what is needed to bring out the best in people. He is wonderful to work with and truly sees the big picture. Highky recommend.

Steve at Athletic Mindset is fantastic and highly recommend for young sportspeople. Our 12year son who is a passionate footballer completed a course with Steve and has made a remarkable transformation which truly reflects the thoughtful work invested in developing both athletic performance and mental approach during the time working with Steve. We have seen our son's self-confidence & resilience strengthen significantly with growth positive mindset. We have seen the wonderful accomplishments on and off the field, life skills and are very grateful for Steve & Atheletic Mindset's contribution to our child's journey, as well as key skills us parents have been taught! We highly recommend Atheletic Mindset and we look forward to continuing our journey.

Steve has been absolutely fantastic working with our 11 year old son. The setting of realistic goals and dedicated areas of improvement are supporting not only his sporting achievements but also his personal development. Regular contact and updates ensure as parents we are staying in the loop and able to assist in a more constructive manner. We cannot recommend Steve enough and look forward to working with you more in the future.

I highly recommend Steve from Athletic Mindset. I am so glad we found him. Steve has been doing amazing with my twelve year old. He has grown and developed so much under his guidance and coaching. My son has made great strides in his overall confidence, resilience and preparation that hasn’t only helped him in his Sports but also his school work. Steve is able to bring his sporting experience, skills, knowhow and craft with a good structure that has made such an amazing difference to my son. Thank you Steve and looking forward to working with you further.
