Work with me

Private mental performance coaching.

Bespoke, one-to-one, and confidential. The work is designed around one player at a time: their career, their pressure, their internal game.

Micheal Hilton, mental performance coach

Who it is for

Professional and semi-professional footballers, players pushing for a professional contract, released players rebuilding, and serious academy players aged 15 and over. Ambitious footballers who know they are capable of more than they are currently showing.

What players bring into the work

  • Inconsistency they cannot explain
  • Game-day nerves and overthinking
  • Form that disappeared after a mistake, injury, or setback
  • Selection anxiety and contract uncertainty
  • The gap between training performances and match performances
  • The feeling of playing safe instead of playing free

What makes the approach different

Private by design

No groups, no courses, no content to work through. A direct coaching relationship built around one player.

Beneath the surface

The work targets the internal story driving the performance, not surface-level motivation.

Football-specific

Every conversation is anchored to the realities of a football career: selection, form, pressure, contracts, identity.

  • Direct message your coach for support between sessions
  • One-to-one breakthrough sessions with your coach
  • Practical homework and mindset tasks between sessions
