JAMIE STEVENSON

“Talent and hard work aren’t always enough to get to the top in sport and business. Discussions with Steven Sylvester helped me to be open and communicate better with my team, my coach and even my rivals. This led to greater self- awareness, and freedom to perform at my best. It was undoubtedly one of the factors that took me to a World Championship title. I had heard sports psychologists before: I knew about relaxation, focus, and I was mentally tough enough to succeed. But Steven’s unique skill is asking the right questions and looking at the broader picture in performance situations. Steven is also extremely quick and keen to learn about new specialist areas and the specific challenges of each sport, instead of just applying standard knowledge and solutions. Steven’s way of thinking has helped me achieve more in my sport and my working life.”
