How did you find us, hear about us?
I saw a review in a magazine (I think 442) about a book called “Ahead of the game” which I then bought and read, which then lead us on to contacting James direct.
Why did you contact ProMindset?
I was looking for a professional mentor for my son who had just moved from the West ham to Chelsea football academy.
We wanted someone who really understood the importance of having the right mindset not only in football but also in life, and be able to help, support him.
We always felt that the mentality side of the game was overlooked within the academy system while other pillars like Physicality and Technical ability were prioritized.
Once I read the book it was evident that the experiences James had, helped him understand the importance of investing in
Mindset & mental performance, and what mental performance looks like. I felt this could help my son develop his mental performance going forward.
What did your son get from working with ProMindset?
Firstly a really good bond with James from the outset. He felt comfortable expressing himself and opening up, he felt he could trust James and really bought into the whole ethos of growing and developing his mindset, which James was able to deliver to him in a way that he understood.
They worked on different modules as well as game analysis which not only enhanced his knowledge of the game tactically but mentally helped him grow his confidence, resilience, self belief and leadership skills, which enabled him to become Chelsea U18 FA youth cup Captain and be rewarded with a pro contract.
What would you say to anyone thinking about working with ProMindset?
Please do not over look mental performance. With the introduction of the EPPP the clubs have been doing a good job, however ProMindset can provide additional support and techniques that will definitely help your son or daughter get to the next level, we have witnessed this and look forward to continuing the journey with ProMindset.
What would you say about James Coppinger?
James understanding & knowledge of what mental performance looks and feels like is second to none, which he can convey in a way that is relative and understandable to each individuals current situation.
He builds a bond, along with trust and transparency and is very approachable, providing techniques to help build resilience while understanding the importance of self talk and visualisation. He really knows how to dig away and remove the layers of negativity that have built up over time to reveal the diamond beneath.
