Stevie has helped and inspired our young players throughout the Academy by developing their understanding on the mental side of learning through the TLC programme. Stevie provided the players with thought provoking and engaging content throughout the programme and provided us with expertise in this field away from the balls bibs and markers part of developing academy players.

Stevie acted as a relationship manager for me in my role as Coaching Manager. Stevie has the unique ability to step back from a situation and analyse it from a number of different perspectives, and in doing this is able to provoke a different view to any situation. This meant I was regularly challenged about my thought process and how I arrived at an idea. I always came away from our discussions with value added, and energised to put our joint thinking into action.
I look forward to continuing to work with Stevie, as I know he can take ideas to a different level of thinking.

I had the pleasure of working with Stevie while employed at Aktive, Auckland Sport & Recreation. Stevie instantly became a well suited team member especially to the Coaching & Talent Development team. He always had a positive outlook in situations, he always made time to listen and reflect whilst some of our best work was done around collaborative brainstorming over the whiteboard. Stevie is a big picture thinker with a big heart.

It has been a honour and privilege working with Stevie. After only knowing him for a short period of time we have forged a great relationship and he has developed not only the mindset of myself as a coach but also the youth team players that we work with. He is thoroughly professional in his work and this has had a positive effect on my team allowing them to thrive. His sessions are interactive, fun, enjoyable and have been differentiated to cater for all age groups. He is always there to offer advice and support.
