"Andy’s teaching style is fun, warm and really easy to follow. I
thoroughly enjoyed the course, the content, the people that he attracted to his course, I came away from the course excited and eager to use what I have learned straight away and have seen benefits in my clients.

I would highly recommend Wider Vision to anyone with an interest in sport or not!!

Can’t wait for the Master Practitioner, I will certainly be doing this with Wider Vision."

Mel Anderson

"It took me 3 years to decide to sign up for the Wider Vision Sports Practitioner Course, I was not disappointed. The content was thoroughly delivered in a way which I found both easy to remember and enjoyable. I have already used the techniques myself and found that I am now confident to jump my horse competitively again after a break of nearly 4 years due to a fall which left me unable to jump at all. In fact on the first occasion I entered the ring in competition I was placed 4th. I am using the techniques in my coaching with my clients who are also growing in confidence and feeling much more positive about their riding and life generally. Andy Barton is approachable, fun and extremely knowledgeable on this subject and I have no hesitation in recommending this course."

Debbie Hill

"As someone who is interested in sport but is not a coach or past athlete I was unsure whether the focus upon NLP in sport was good use of my time and money. How wrong was I – NLP works with any aspect of life – the context here is primarily but not exclusively sport related. Andy is a great trainer, knowledgeable and skilled and every minute of the course was both interesting and challenging. This could change your life or your career – grab the opportunity!"

Adelle Shaw-Flach

"Andy's Sports Practitioner course was fascinating content expertly delivered. In our close knit group, everyone was able to ask questions, get answers and learn quickly with the right balance of theory and practice. I know we all got a lot out of the course, both on personal and professional levels. Thanks Andy!'

Tom Henton

"The course is inspirational and superbly delivered by Andy. It builds self confidence and thoroughly covers the theory and practice of NLP "

Prof Dr David Hutchinson

"No one can afford to not be on this course. It will change your life. For personal development and positive results in any sphere of your life, not only sport - this course is a must!

Andy is brilliant, my tennis has improved dramatically as a result of learning all the techniques and interventions. Even more importantly he has made a huge positive impact on my personal development."

This course is huge, you cannot afford to miss it. The results have been amazing."

Margie Edge

"An excellent learning experience, with practical application for clients and for personal development. Andy has a skilled and entertaining way of communicating knowledge and inspiring change."

Jacqueline Pullan

"Absolutely loved the course and the practised exercises were invaluable in helping learn the techniques. Andy's knowledge and experience was immense and it was great to benefit from him sharing it."

Ali Noble

"An incredible journey of discovery. Thank you."

John Welsh

"Supportive and fun group of participants. Andy is knowledgeable and has a length and breadth of practical examples and experiences to illustrate NLP methods and principles. Andy is a strong factor in gelling the group."

Damon Newman

Andy is very approachable and knowledgeable. The coursework is clear, understandable and illuminating. The course weekends are brilliant, offering practical applications in a friendly and open environment. Whilst the focus is always on performance improvement, it is done in an holistic manner and promotes a better understanding of the athlete as a human being rather than a machine. I have already used techniques learned on the course to fantastic effect and feel that I have made a real breakthrough."

Paul Ttereve

"For over 25 years I have led and managed people. I so wish that somebody would have taught me about NLP when I was setting out, as its value in working with people is massive. Andy has a very easy way of putting students at their ease, communicating and demonstrating the skills and techniques, and of linking it all together with his own examples of how it can be applied.  I was really pleased I chose to do this course with Wider Vision."

John Collicutt

“The NLP practitioner course with Andy totally exceeded my expectations. I was really looking forward to it but wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. It was brilliantly delivered; a nice mix of delivery and practical exercises. There was so much information to absorb which was fantastic, and so many ideas and techniques to help improve our sporting performances and life in general!”

Sarah Finikin

"I have learnt more about myself and others in these 3 weekends than I have in years!"

Tina Tage

“The whole subject has been amazing and I can’t wait to learn more and start practising.”

Phil Snowden

"I thoroughly recommend the NLP Sports Practitioner course for anyone looking to learn the detail and importance of mental agility to enhance their sports performance. The course was well constructed and Andy Barton proved to be a total expert in this field with a particular skill to transmit the information to the delegates. The course notes and workbooks are extremely well written with clear and concise descriptions of all NLP techniques and what I liked was very good examples of putting the theory into practice with true situations on each technique. The course hasn’t just allowed me to become a certified NLP Sports Practitioner but helped me tremendously to take a good look at myself as well and changed my views of the world around me.  Well done Andy and thanks for a really good experience and assisting me to move forward with a career in Sports Psychology."

Bob Humphreys

"As Head Coach of the British Freestyle Snowboard team, I consider NLP an invaluable part of the coaching program."

Hamish McKnight

"A great introduction to NLP."

Jamie Reed

"From a sports performer's perspective, Andy makes the information very easy to understand and I am competely confident that anyone will benefit from this course."

Spencer Vickery

"Sports NLP has given me a depth of knowledge into improved sports performance, how to apply it and achieve sporting excellence that 20 years in competitive sports has not. I am grateful to Andy for such a mindblowing course."

Sandie Chambers

"I first heard about NLP in sports three or four years ago, listening to Andy on the radio. Having always had an interest in the minds role in sports, his description of NLP and sports enticed me into learning more about these techniques; vital interaction of power between the mind and body. As soon as I was able to access the means to enrol on his course – I did. After a three-month course I qualified as an NLP Sports Practitioner and NLP General Practitioner (the latter – an added bonus!) I can honestly say it’s the best thing I feel I have ever done. I feel I have got much more out of it than in any other educative context I’ve experienced.

The three intensive weekends – were exactly that – hard work, thought-provoking and insightful; however, the members of the group and Andy’s enthusiasm and motivation made the weekends above all else, fun!"

Anna MacCormack

"An awesome course that everyone can get involved with! Even though it's an NLP Sports course, it has helped me most with leading a happier life. It's a privilege being trained by someone who has worked with so many high profile athletes. Not only is Andy well qualified but his constant care and commitment to his class is something that really stood out for me."

Mustafa Sarkar

"Anyone wanting to learn NLP, this is the course."

Craig Douglas

"Andy runs an excellent course that allows for rigorous learning and informed debate. The class sizes allow for plenty of feedback and ensure a professional but informal and fun environment."

Leo Barker

"For a great insight into NLP working in the sports environment I'd recommend the Wider Vision course with Andy Barton. It'll open up doors that may have been previously closed."

Nathan Belfield

I am delighted to say that Andy and hIs course exceeded all of my expectations. It was fun, well paced and informative. Andy was generous with his time and the course was well structured."

Andrew Butcher

Andy Milne

"Despite my initial scepticism around the area of NLP prior to starting the course, Andy's enthusiastic teaching style and excellent understanding of the area meant the course was pitched at the right level enabling everyone in the group to grasp the techniques regardless of previous experience and knowledge.

I found the course empowering and enriching and would even go as far as life changing. I would definitely recommend it."
