Bill Beswick - Sports Psychologist


I was first introduced to Bill Beswick when I attended the Grassroots Football Roadshow in June 2011.

He was part of 'The FA Theatre In Association With FourFourTwo Performance' and he spoke for 40 minutes on the subject of ‘Tough love’ coaching - getting the best from your players.

It was possibly the best 40 minutes I have ever spent in the company of somebody talking about youth development and player/coach relation, I was hooked from start to finish. To hear and see his passion was truly inspirational. His book, Tough-Love Coaching, which his talk was based on, looks at "meeting the needs of young players for a committed, controlled and unwavering learning environment from their coach but also provides the empathy, care and support they need as young people facing a difficult challenge"

Bill's website http://billbeswick.com/ is currently under construction but I'm reliably informed when it's up and running, Tough-Love Coaching will be available to buy from it.

I also just came across this link http://performance.fourfourtwo.com/experts/bill-beswick which has 8 brief videos from Bill on topics such as 'How to bounce back from a mistake' and 'How to deal with a mouthy player'.
