Hello.
I’m Stuart Wilson.
Football Mind Coach is led by Stuart Wilson.
A lifelong footballer, parent, and coach.
The work is safeguarding-first, clearly bounded, and focused solely on football performance.
WHY THIS WORK EXISTS
When I was growing up, support for the thinking side of football was rare.
If confidence dipped, you were expected to cope.
If decisions went wrong, you figured it out alone.
Players improvised.
They guessed.
They hoped things would click.
Years later, as a footballer, a parent, and a coach, I saw the same pattern repeating.
Only now, the pressure was higher.
And the stakes were greater.
Players were being coached physically and tactically.
But when it came to thinking clearly under pressure, many were left to manage it themselves.
Football Mind Coach was created to address that gap.
WHAT FOOTBALL MIND COACH PROVIDES
Football Mind Coach gives players something clear and practical:
A way to understand what pressure does to their thinking
A way to organise decisions when the game speeds up
A way to stay composed without losing the joy of playing
Players don’t lose ability.
They lose clarity.
This work exists to restore it.
Safeguarding and legitimacy
This work is built on clear boundaries and appropriate practice.

Philosophy
Confidence isn’t volume.
It’s clarity.
Pressure isn’t the enemy.
Fear is.
Fear distorts thinking.
Clear thinking restores control.
