Unlocking Higher Performance

At Underpin, we're dedicated to empowering ambitious elite amateur and professional golfers to reach their full potential. Through our tailored mental performance coaching, we help athletes develop the resilience and mental strength required to excel at the highest levels of the sport.

Unlock your potential

Our philosophy is simple: we believe in coaching through experience, unlocking people’s potential, and creating higher levels of performance.

Through our own calm, assured and flexible style we are able to work beneath the surface, challenging players to learn and understand how to get the best out of themselves and their game. 

Individual Coaching

By fostering an environment of trust and open communication, we enable individuals to share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings freely. Through our coaching, we address key areas crucial for achieving higher levels of performance.

We assist athletes in developing consistent mental habits and routines that promote focus, resilience, and wellbeing.
Stronger Self-Confidence and Positive Core Beliefs
We help individuals cultivate a deep sense of self-belief and positive core beliefs that underpin their performance and mindset.
Competitive Emotional Awareness and Anxiety Control
Our coaching equips athletes with tools and strategies to manage competitive emotions and control anxiety, enabling them to perform at their best under pressure.
Mindfulness Practice for Performance
We introduce mindfulness practices to cultivate a calmer, more focused state of mind, enhancing performance and well-being on and off the course.

Sleep: The final frontier

The work I’ve done with Greg year on year has been brilliant. We have worked hard to play each golf shot to the best of my ability with a focus on staying present throughout. This season and in particular throughout my Q School journey, the guidance he gave me was massively beneficial.
