" to inspire, lead and create sustainable behaviourial change."

Alan Butcher Surrey CCC First Team Coach & Manager

“It has been a great pleasure to work with Amanda Owens Sport Psychology is an interest of mine and crucial to the mental strength of elite sportsmen and women. It is no coincidence that Surrey's wicket keeper /batsman Jon Batty became a player of stature within the county game after working with Amanda.

I have also enjoyed working with her in trying to unlock the self confidence and belief in some of the more diffident members of our Academy intake. It is really exciting to witness the change of attitude, performance and expectation brought about by Amanda's confidence boosting visualisation sessions. An encounter with a sport psychologist had a profound effect on my career and I believe that Total Performance can do the same for the current generation."

James Foster Essex CCC Wicketkeeper and Batsman (Former England Wicketkeeper)

“ Working with Amanda has enabled me to be more self-aware and know how and what to do to get into my best performance state. Amanda has helped me to understand what I need and want to do ensure that my preparation is what I need to perform at my best.  I now recognise what I need to do  when I under perform: to focus on my strengths, past best performances and what I need to so rather than the poor performance and model my best performances instead. I believe and know now I am more self aware than ever of myself and others in the team and I have performed more consistently. I am enjoying my cricket and I can see that I have broken previous patterns of behaviour as I finished last season (2006) on real high.” 

Ronnie Irani Essex CCC Captain (Winner’s of the Totesport Division One day league 2005 & 2006).  

I would like to take this opportunity to say how much Amanda Owens and total performance have helped me and my Essex team over the last 4 years.

We were a fine team of individual talent but collectively lacked direction and certain team ethics.  During the workshops we had with Amanda, she got players to open up and discuss freely, without confrontation.  Therefore, putting things right that were wrong but also allowing us to have a vision for the future.  They say that the proof of the pudding is in the eating and a year into our relationship maturing, we won back to back major titles.  This was not a coincidence but partly to do with our mental preparation. Same team, better attitude!!!
