TESTIMONIALS

I have worked with Misia for many years and she has influenced the development philosophy at QPR. She has also supported and opened my mind to the importance of psychological and psycho-social development of players. I can vouch for her expertise.
Chris RamseyTechnical Director of Football QPR
I have been working with Misia for just over two years now and I don't have enough positive words to describe her. While working with her I have gone from low-placed national finalist to National Champion and a lot of this has been due to how she changed my mindset. She took the time to truly understand me well which means I feel safe in her hands. Her positive attitude and attention to detail are truly infectious and this has helped transform my sporting career.
Efe Uwaifo International Triple Jumper
Trustworthy and honest, Misia has the ability to connect with all people whether that be in the dressing room, the coaches office or the boardroom. She shows great empathy and a positive mindset which she radiates onto those around her. The work that she has done both with the team and individuals over the years has undoubtedly contributed to the clubs success and has helped individuals progress in their careers.
