Hi Neil,
I’m Chris from Singapore. I first came to know about this course on my Facebook’s Singapore Sport Psychology Network Group a couple of months back and decided to sign up and participate in the course.

I’m a Mental Skills Coach and have been working with athletes and coaches from various sport disciplines e.g, Judo, Karate, Wushu Softball, Field Hockey, Professional Golf, Canoe Polo, Cross-country distance running and Ice-Figure Skating.

I look forward to reinforcing and enhancing my present mental skills through this Sport Psychology course and be more effective in my conduct and delivery of the topics and modules presented. In so doing, I hope to enable more athletes, coaches and support staff to appreciate and apply the sport psychology perspectives to further enhance their understanding and application of the knowledge acquired in their mental preparation and performance in their sport.

Hi. I’m Joseph from Singapore. My coaching part time. Due to work commitments, it is difficult for me to take leave and attend courses/clinics related to coaching. This online course lets me learn at my own pace and I think might allow me to motivate my students better. I coach swimming and dabble in some triathlon.
