Testimonials ... what others say about Midgie
I was sceptical at first but so glad I took the leap of faith. I am now a more confident, positive and centered athlete and person generally. Looking forward to when I don't have to consciously think about using my 'Midgie Mechanics' and it happens more naturally. - J. Parker
I was surprised and pleased to see how the coaching, initially around a sporting goal, spread into other areas of my life and has helped my confidence. I think the fact that Midgie is a sports person herself makes it easier for her to empathise with my drive to achieve such goals. I found the whole experience very beneficial and have highly recommend her to others. - D. Yeats
I have undergone surgery due to a sport injury. Midgie was brilliant she 'reframed'
how I saw my situation. She has this innate ability to change the way you
think about a situation, to put a 'positive' stance on it, and to shift your
thinking. I highly recommend Midgie if you want to be the BEST you can be!

The race specific exercises have been particularly beneficial and my preparation for a race is much more meticulous, organised and rehearsed which has proved invaluable. It helped me deal with pre-race nerves and focus. I found it much easier to get ‘in the zone’.– D. Aitchison
The mental preparation coaching helped me appreciate that sport is important
but not the most important aspect of my life. It has helped me to have a more
positive approach and given me tools to develop more confidence, self-belief
and dealing with the ‘I want to stop’ fatigue. I’m a convert
and will definitely continue to use and develop the skills I learnt with Midgie!
– C. Madden
Midgie, as a sports woman herself, amazingly managed to encourage me to use
practices that I readily use for high level sport on my work issues; something
I have never thought of doing before. I was very impressed that she married
the two techniques, simple yet brilliant. I am incredibly excited about having
her on board in support of my 2012 Olympic bid - I think she could arm me
with the mind tools I need to succeed at this level. –
B. Anderson
I found Midgie’s session very useful for both work and "play"
(is that what they call marathon training) and have even used some of the
session handout on objective setting to the managers for their benefit too.
It was fun as well as educational with the right amount of informality about
it. – R. Beldon
Midgie is a passionate and dynamic speaker. Her session was extremely helpful
and I left with very practical skills to use in my competition. –
J. Eyre
Your insightful and well chosen words made the process of visualization so
clear that I am still amazed that such apparently simple steps can so easily
assist me in reaching inward and invoking the beauty and power of running.
– B. Woodford
I went into her session thinking that it was always good to reinforce what
I already knew. Little did I know that after that session I would have mental
tools to take myself further that I ever expected! I followed her suggestions
and ran the race of my life! I now use the trigger developed that day in my
daily life. – C. Lowe
