"I have known Mike Garth professionally for over 14 years, working closely with him from an R&D engineer through to the foundation of Sun1400. Mike has had an extremely useful input in supporting our track engineering program. His scientific and professional approach allowed him to tailor a program that suited our needs and delivered results. At every race I am drawing benefits from our collaboration."

"I was very sceptical about using sport psychology for my kart drivers but some of them just didn't have the right mental approach to get the job done. Mike identified the weaknesses to work on and put a focussed plan together to move forward. With one driver, the change is so big it's hard to remember how difficult it used to be!"

"I was inconsistent and wasn’t putting in the performances I knew I was capable of. Mike helped me identify the key areas that were slowing me down, so we built a solid base and I gained powerful mental skills from the program. After a few weeks of working with Mike I could see a drastic improvement in my riding. Thank you, great stuff!”
Gareth Barns

"I was struggling to do the lap-times I knew I was capable of and wasn't qualifying for the nationals. Mike helped me find a clear and effective direction and got me performing more like my old self. I qualified for my next race at Donington. Great stuff!"

“I had never heard of sport psychology before I met Mike and was not sure how relevant it was to me and my moto-cross, I was also struggling to complete all my motos and wasn’t racing the way my practice times said I should. After only a few weeks of working with Mike I’d moved forward and qualified for the AMCA Nationals.”

"Without this support I would never have had raised my awareness, even if some of the issues were very simple ones! The tools and techniques I learned during the programme were given to me in a way I could continue to develop and use long after the end of the programme. This has made me a better competitor. Thanks!" MV
"The main thing I gained from working with a BASES sport psychologist was a high level of awareness-raising in the early stages of the 3-month programme. The questioning style used confirmed some gaps that I believed to be there in my mental approach and showed-up other gaps that I wasn't initially aware of. " MV
"My view of Mike is extremely positive. He has helped my athlete significantly and has done it in an easy going manner, which made him great to work with." BT
“Mike is committed, organised and very focussed. He is a very efficient and effective practitioner." IM
“The workshop Mike gave to our team was well measured, well prepared and correctly focussed on how to develop our key staff." SR
“A very interesting and thought provoking workshop. Very relevant to assessing and treating the injured athlete." AH
“The workshop was very beneficial to my performance." RS
“Great workshop. I’d be interested to further this learning.” GD
"Mike has provided me with techniques that enable me to better control my emotions when I am competing. He has helped me to concentrate on the specific issues that I have and has given me ways to work through them so I can get closer to achieving my goals." EB
Thankyou for an enlightening and informative workshop. From the complete
novice to more experienced athletes who had already used sports pschology -
everyone gained from the day and are already asking for more.
