Charlie Unwin | Testimonials

"After attending a presentation of Charlie's which I really enjoyed he came to see me in order to discuss psychology in more detail. I found the work we did fascinating and now see important patterns surrounding my very successful years. I really recommend Charlie to anyone who is interested in using a psychologist as I have found it fascinating and wouldn't have been convinced a few weeks ago, so just watch and see what happens next year, I think it's going to be a good one."

"Charlie Unwin offers a unique insight into 21st Century sport and makes it relevant to schools. The work he did with our parents and students was immensely beneficial and we will certainly be inviting him back to Whitgift."

Alistair Osbourne
Director of Sport, Whitgift School

"Charlie Unwin began working with us six weeks before our run to the final of Henley Royal Regatta and played a significant part in our success. Our crew benefited greatly from the relaxation and visualisation techniques Charlie introduced us to. Charlie went out of his way to understand us as individuals and a group and to understand the skills and demands of rowing. His programme was tailored specifically to meet our needs and his sessions were always innovative, challenging and fun."

Nicholas Neving
Vesta Rowing Club, Henley Finalists

Since working with Charlie the areas I feel I have improved are:
Far better in matches and matchplay generally
I deal with pressure better
I am able to relax at will more
I am able to make better use of visualisation techniques
I have a more professional approach to my training
I have more structure to preparation before matches
I can achieve higher levels of focus for longer
I have turned from a somewhat negative outlook to a positive one

I have found the time working with Charlie totally constructive and motivational. I am looking forward to my continued work with him.

"Seeing Charlie as helped me enormously with my sport which has even had positive effect on my school work! Charlie has also provided me with some helpful tips to get me through different situations, even on a day-to-day basis."

Sophie Bacon
A Level Student, Stonar School

"We sought Charlie's help to prepare us for the biggest event of our annual racing calendar, Henley Royal Regatta. In the short six week period prior to the Regatta, Charlie worked on a number of different visualisation and relaxation exercises with us which helped develop an extremely strong bond between the crew and which gave us invaluable techniques to use in our training and racing. We ended up having the most successful Henley that our club has had in some twenty-five years and whilst there were many contributing factors to this success, it was due in no small part to the added-edge which the work with Charlie gave us. I would not hesitate to enlist Charlie's expertise again in the future and would be pleased to recommend him to anyone, with the definite exception of any of our competitors!"

"Thank you so much for the fantastic day yesterday. Georgina found it so valuable - she couldn't stop talking about it all the way home! She certainly came away feeling much more confident and positive about her training."

Amanda (Parent)

"I started working with Charlie because I really needed help with the confidence issues I had been experiencing with my riding - especially in competition. The work we did really helped me take control of my performance which I am pleased to say had a dramatic impact on my results."

Lucy Ferguson

"Thanks for last week, found it really useful, even though a lot to take in! If I can apply just half I think it will make a real difference and have already found that I'm being much more positive about things in general. Setting goals for each training session has really helped focus the mind and the horses seem to be responding quicker to acheive the aim for that session and I'm also finding that as a result, I make corrections to other things as they happen without thinking about it!"

Samantha Gray
Eventing and Dressage

"Charlie Unwin recently presented on the launch of our school`s Sports Mentoring Programme. Charlie delivered a highly informative talk entitled "Sport in thought, Preparing for the Journey". Charlie adjusted the talk to suit both the mentees (boys of 11 and 12 years) and the parents who all found it extremely helpful and stimulating. Charlie`s personal International sporting experience and his sport psychology qualifications allowed him to demostrate a special insight into what makes us tick. The school will certainly be inviting Charlie again to help move our mentoring programme further forward. Many thanks!"

Chris Kibble
Director of Sport Development, Whitgift School

"Charlie - thank you for doing such a wonderful job of inspiring my daughter! She has been out training every day since her return. Please let me know of any other dates you have planned."
