“Last year at this time, my eldest son Martin fell 3m from a tree and broke both his arms. A little inconvenient for his golf and for his basketball.
I took decided to subscribe to your site and undertake the kids focus program with him to take the opportunity to develop his mental side of sports.
The improvement has been very good and am very proud of how he now prepares, plays, and evaluates his performances as he has shown a great maturity for being ten years old. I am confident these skills will hold him in good stead for the future.”
~Nigel, Sports Parent
