How I Help Your Child

You're Not Alone

Many parents watch their talented children struggle with the mental side of sports. While physical training is important, your child's mindset determines 95% of their performance. That's where I help.

Parent Success Stories

We have known Rob Kelly for the past couple of months.. We contacted him as we wanted to support our children to achieve their sporting potential, by introducing them to the mental and psychological tools, that can be used in collaboration with their physical efforts.

We would like to highly recommend Rob to anyone, of any age, who wants to take responsibility for fulfilling their full potential in life. ( not just in sport )

Our children really look forward to their sessions with Rob. They always come out after seeing him, with a smile on their faces, with new objectives for the week and with a hunger and an understanding of how to achieve their potential, not only in sport, but in life in general. They never would want to miss one of their "sessions" with Rob.

He has given them ( and continues to ), the tools to achieve their potential and goals. He has helped them to set and define realistic and achievable goals.

Rob has met with us, as parents, before and during the course of the sessions with our children. He has been 100% open and honest and approachable. We feel that we can ask and address anything relating to our children's progress and needs etc., with him.

Most of all, our children have the utmost respect for, and think very very highly of Rob. They look forward to seeing him. They think he is, in their own words, " so sound " and "he helps us a lot ".

Although it is us who initiated the first contact with Rob for our children, it is our children now who want to continue to have this contact with Rob. They value his contribution to their continued sporting successes. What is so nice too, is that Rob, is very happy for them and congratulatory towards them for their continued successes also.

Rob is one of the good guys in our world. Thank you, Rob.

From the parents of adolescent boys who have been attending Rob Kelly ( on a weekly basis ) for the past number of months.
