Brett was able to connect with my daughter quickly and professionally…Both my daughter and I believe that she would not have got through the season and recovered from her injury without the support she has received from Brett.

Parent of U-16's female academy footballer

Brett provided a safe environment to talk openly in, listened well, provided appropriate interventions and always asked appropriate questions. He helped majorly with my transition from elite sport to ‘normal life’….it was exactly what I needed in this time.
