“I have worked with Alice personally (as a player) and in a professional capacity within my role at Target.
Alice’s calming tone resonates perfectly. The book is an easy read and is very insightful as to how and why your body reacts to different situations and explains simple things you can do to overcome issues. I would highly recommend Alices services!”

“I first discovered Alice through her first book The Essential Sporting Mind Toolkit, which made immediate sense to me as a darter. After a coaching session her mantra, ‘the mind commands and the body obeys’, has become my pre-match switch I flip before games to get calm, centered and ready. Alice’s work is pragmatic, concise, and game-ready. If you want to improve your scoring focus, decision-making, and composure on the oche, I highly recommend her.”

Working as a sport psychologist with all levels of sports people from diverse disciplines such as Motorsport, shooting, triathlon, running, swimming, cycling, cricket, football, diving, tennis, martial arts, golf, ice skating and darts (amongst others).

 Personally (when not working) Alice indulges herself in long distance open water swimming and exploring the great outdoors as much as possible.
