Martin Perry - Confidence Coach & Sports Psychologist
I'm Martin Perry the Confidence Coach and Sports Psychologist. I have studied the secrets of how to build confidence for the last twenty four years, and my personal coaching, books and workshops have helped many people reconnect to their natural confidence.
Have you ever seen the film Pulp Fiction? In Quentin Tarantrino's classic movie, there is a body in the garage. Blood is everywhere. Jimmie's wife Bonnie will be home from work soon. So, an urgent call is put out to Winston Wolf, played by Harvey Keitel.
He arrives in less than ten minutes, and announces himself with quiet certainty at the door by saying, 'My name is Winston Wolf. I solve problems'.
Like Winston Wolf, I solve problems. Not bodies in the garage. But, problems of lost confidence. When I began coaching in 1996, it used to take me three months or more to restore a clients lost confidence. Now I can do it in a single 30 minute phone call. Why?
Because experience has given me the wisdom to know exactly how and why people lose confidence. And what to do about it. Quickly!
