ABOUT WIDER|VISION LTD

Sports performers spend a lot of their time working on 2 areas which impact on their performance; their skills and their fitness. They may spend hours working on their technique, their fine motor skills, as well as their speed, their power, their endurance, their suppleness and their nutrition. And yet, they will often neglect the area that many would suggest makes the difference between being a champion and being a runner-up; their mental skills.

A person's mental ability plays a huge role in a sports performer's success or lack of. Fortunately, team's and individuals are now starting to wake up to the fact that they need to train this part of their game just as much as the other 2 areas.

Wider|Vision Ltd was founded in 2005 to make a difference to the way mental performance is coached in sport both in the UK and Worldwide by providing practical training courses to benefit both people who want to work in the field of sports psychology and sports performers who want to learn how to improve their mindset in competition.

We are proud to have put a significant number of students through our training programmes and to have made a real difference to mental performance coaching in this country.
