“Chris delivered a Mental Toughness in Schools workshop at our annual PE & School Sport Conference. With a focus on the 4C’s concept, he considered how Mental Toughness relates to behaviour, emotional intelligence and its influence on the personal development of staff/students. Delegate feedback described the session as thoroughly analysed, very interesting, engaging, informative and well presented – a subject matter of huge potential!”
