The approach

A structured effort, built on theory and practice

A structured effort and the use of sport psychology theory and practice are the foundation of the programme. Once fully engaged in the plan, both the client and the consultant share responsibility for outcomes and success.

What I do

VRC Sports is dedicated to helping athletes improve, maximise and capitalise on their performance as well as their mental well-being, fostering an athlete-centred approach in each session, at any level of competition, for performance improvement before, during and after competition.

Know the programme

The focus of the VRC programme is an evidence-based framework for athlete assessment. VRC is dedicated to sports psychology centred on the client, with the goal of achieving consistent, successful peak performance.

How I work

I work in applied sports psychology in a counselling role, helping athletes cope with the personal concerns that impede success and delivering performance enhancement techniques that improve concentration, motivation, mental preparation and practice.

What I learn

I define each athlete’s deficiencies and strong points, then design a comprehensive, solution-focused intervention plan developed jointly with the client. Always sensitive to the ethical and legal standards of the profession, I work in tandem with each client toward mutually agreed outcomes.

Who I work with

Athletes, coaches, teams and families

VRC provides sports psychology consulting for teams and individuals seeking assistance with mental performance. My clientele includes athletes, coaches, teams and performing artists in the mental game of their chosen specialty.

Your performance

I am committed to supporting athletes, families, leaders and coaches in sport and wellness activities, and in applied sports psychology.

I work closely with each athlete in an applied setting to improve daily routines, practices, performance and personal approaches towards exercise, fitness and overall mental and physical health. The net result is a plan to achieve consistent and effective performance and mental preparation.

Testimonials

What colleagues and coaches say

Reggie has been an outstanding influence to the girls on the high school lacrosse team. His encouragement, teaching style and technique has helped the girls to their 2nd state back-to-back championships with two undefeated seasons. His way of working with the girls, and their response to him, is something that I think many could learn from.
