“George was one of the speakers at the 2021 International Sports Medicine Conference hosted by King’s College London University. His talk was about how coaches can help build players' mental resilience. It was an incredibly professional, well put together talk which gave a practical outlook on how to, not only understand resilience, but put it into practice. Although this was aimed at coaches, it was applicable to our multidisiplinary health care student and professional audience which was demonstrated in the incredible feedback George received from the day. If you need a speaker who is reliable, likeable and knowledgable, then we couldn’t recommend George enough.” https://www.sportingbounce.com/united-kingdom/bristol/sport-psychology-consultant/george-mitchell/reviews/70
