TESTIMONIALS

Kieran has been working with my son, Jasper, since July 2022 as his mindset and mental wellbeing coach. 

Jasper is an aspiring footballer and from a young age we have embarked upon a footballing journey which began at grassroots levels and quickly progressed to Junior Premier League and wider regional Premier league academy football. 

As Jasper progresses through the ranks, as it were, we are finding that as much as the physical requirements of him increase, so does the physiological pressure. Something that we, as his parents, were not prepared for nor knew how to effectively manage.

We did a bit of research into mindset coaching for academy kids online and found Kieran’s profile via Google and the Life Coach Directory and immediately Kieran’s profile jumped out at us. 

Kieran has a track record of working with kids, but also is a former footballer and coach meaning he completely understands the journey Jasper is on, and can offer the support/guidance that is the gap in our knowledge as Jasper’s parents. 

Over the 18 months that Kieran has been working with Jasper we have found Kieran to be informed, positive and insightful providing Jasper with realistic and tangible goals to achieve each week as well as a more optimistic spin on his own approach to football.

Kieran has a kind and relatable approach with Jasper which Jasper really responds to well. Kieran allows Jasper to develop his own positive principles which empowers Jasper to feel as though he’s achieved his own goals within each session. 

The level of support and coaching that Kieran provides Jasper is vital to his weekly routine and something which has helped Jasper cope with the pressures of not only academy football, but also his approach to seeing challenges in a more positive mind frame.

I have been having weekly drop in sessions with Kieran now for about 3 months. I reached out to him through a family contact, with the hopes of finding some structure and guidance around my day to day life and transiting into a career. Kieran has helped me with personal organisation and professional growth, through a deeper dive into self awareness and reflection of myself. This allowed me to clearly identify my strengths and weaknesses in order to recognise how to grow and better cater for myself and my objectives. 

Kieran’s expertise and affable nature has been invaluable in helping me craft an actionable plan that aligns with my personal values and professional aspirations. His tailored approach was instrumental in organising a stable routine, and guiding myself into creating an ideal environment for myself to reach my personal and professional objectives. Through new techniques and habits such as self reflection through journaling has instilled me with a sense of accountability, discipline and organisation that has made me feel a lot more confident and prepared in my day to day life.

“Post covid my son became quite negative about himself and his future, he lost his sense of purpose and needed guidance to re-engage with his A-levels. Kieran has been amazing, he has been the reset button needed - providing non judgemental advice and suggestions, challenging behaviour and embedded bad habits. I have seen such an improvement over the last six months with my son’s confidence, ability to self regulate, goal setting and positive mindset. My son said Kieran improved his confidence in sport, giving him the self belief to have a voice, so much so he achieved ‘players player’ award at his end of football sessions awards”

We recently had a parents evening which was really good. From this his GCSEs are over a standard pass and he did much better overall than it stated on his recent report.  He also has his first set of year 11 mocks in October/November (after half term), and these will be the results given to prospective colleges etc.

Secondly, he was praised for his emerging confidence today in an academic year in review and was congratulated on a good year academically. Of his own volition, he highlighted the areas he needed to focus on and what he could do to make more progress in certain areas, especially with exams! I think the mocks this year has given him the impotus to improve his results, so I hope he continues to see the importance of revision!!

I just wanted to thank you for all of your work, we can definitely see the effects of the coaching and we hope you are still ok to continue to work with him, as your approach has been invaluable to us all.

"Kieran is a breath of fresh air. I was at a point in life where I was so wrapped up in its daily stresses I couldn’t see anything clearly and didn’t even know where to start!

After I spoke with Kieran he was quickly able to understand my challenges and offer ways to break free of a miserable stress cycle.

My mindset has totally shifted and if I lose track or am faced with other life curve balls I can always trust and count on Kieran to help me find a solution"

"From our first meeting Kieran really made me think about what it was I wanted to do, structuring my goals in a way that was easily achievable and helping me stay accountable, which improved my self esteem and motivation! Would highly recommend!"
