Thomas has made significant changes to the dynamics of our group and the individuals within, facilitating a safe, successful environment. This is key in high performance refereeing as officials are exposed to high levels of pressure and criticism. Support around performance and mental health is key for our officials and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Thomas. He has had a huge impact on our Match Officials Team, especially during this crucial year for Women´s Rugby with the Rugby World Cup hosted in New Zealand.

Working with Stephanie changed my life. As a young athlete, I was at a point in my life where I wasn’t even sure I wanted to continue my sport. I started meeting with Stephanie as a way to fall back in love with my sport. I earned a starting position on the team and I walked away from my sport a better human, friend, and teammate. Stephanie taught me so much about life and relationships, and helped me manage so much of my life stressors. She truly made me feel like a person not just an athlete. Every session we would peel back more layers I didn’t even know I had. The best thing about working with Stephanie was I never felt judged and I always felt heard. She came to every session prepared for whatever I threw at her. I felt so supported through it all and I am so thankful to have met Stephanie. She forever changed my life.

Tom has had an incredible impact on my refereeing performance as well as life off the field. His ability to listen and read behavior means that we have been able to delve deeper beyond the surface “chit chat” and deal with the real issues that has then helped me to make a consistent change. Tom’s questions and insights have helped me understand so much more about my mental performance and he’s empowered me to be able to take on whatever challenge may lie ahead.
