Junior Athletes

I have considerable experience and expertise as a sport psychologist working with talented junior athletes. This is through various roles with academies and talent development programs, as well as my PhD research into the role of stress in adolescent athletes' performance and wellbeing

​

Regular sessions can help your child develop their confidence and manage the multiple demands and pressures they experience as a youth athlete. Your child will develop a ways of understanding their mind and how it affects their sports performance, along with techniques to help them focus on their goals and what matters to them.

 

Alternatively, sessions are also available for parents. This can be helpful if you feel your child may not be ready to work directly with a sport psychologist yet. Instead, sessions between you and Darren will discuss your child and how to best help to support them.
