“Having been born and raised in Cambridge and playing cricket from an early age I fulfilled my dream becoming a professional cricketer and played with and against some of the world’s greats.

Having known of Phil through cricketing circles I was made aware of Phil’s reputation as a life and performance coach. We were introduced by a mutual friend at a time when I had just lost my job and suffered some truly personal difficulties and was faced with some deep and difficult life challenges. I cannot describe how low I was feeling at that time in terms of my self-worth and confidence. I was in a bad way.

Phil took the time out to travel and visit me at my home and spent some life-changing time with me. He set out to uncover many of my personal strengths, values and achievements of which we discussed in depth.

He made sure I wrote them down then set me a task of explaining how it felt when doing this. I immediately received a rush of positivity as I had forgotten who I was and what I had achieved in my life. It was like a journey of self-discovery. Phil’s time with me kick started my self-belief and I started to see a future again.

Phil then introduced me to a friend who works in the sports industry culminating in me being offered a position.

I can’t thank or recommend Phil enough and am so grateful that my good friend convinced me to meet him.”
