I specialise in helping young athletes who are physically capable but mentally blocked.
When an athlete is training hard but not performing, the issue is often not physical. It is confidence, pressure, fear of failure, overthinking, or emotional weight that is interfering with performance.
I use advanced NLP techniques to help athletes reset mentally, rebuild belief, and perform freely again.
I work with young athletes and their families when sport starts to feel heavy instead of enjoyable.
This includes athletes who are:
I work across high-performance and individual sports, including:
Swimming, rugby, hockey, squash, athletics, bodybuilding, and other competitive environments.
My focus is the mental and emotional side of performance:
My work follows a structured process:
1. Identify the Mental Block We uncover what is interfering with performance.
2. Remove the Emotional Interference We reduce fear, pressure, and negative patterns.
3. Rebuild Confidence and Identity We install stronger internal patterns for performance.
4. Apply to Real Performance The work is translated directly into competition and training.
Parents typically contact me when they can see their child is capable, but something has shifted.
Their child may be:
I provide a structured and professional environment where athletes can reset mentally and regain belief without added pressure.
My work includes performance-focused NLP with swimmers, in collaboration with a highly qualified swimming coach.
The focus was on helping athletes move past mental barriers and return to competition with improved confidence, composure, and the ability to beat previous personal bests.
This approach is transferable across other high-performance sports.
When belief changes, performance changes.
Most athletes do not lack ability — they are limited by internal patterns that can be changed.
Reset the mind. Rebuild belief. Perform again.
If your child is training hard but mentally stuck, a focused intervention can make a significant difference.
I offer a consultation to assess what is going on and whether this work is the right fit.

Dave is great with teens, he has a good understanding of theirs wants and needs , their concerns and worries. He is an amazing motivator and a fantastic role model.
During lockdown I was struggling with my mother being a regular CAT user, resulting in me being stuck living in a violent household. The fear that my mom would hurt others or herself was a nightmare of mine that almost became reality one day when she tried to overdose while I was alone with her one night. This took a huge mental toll on me and I knew I had to reach out for help. I found Dave online. I told him about my situation and he was the most understanding person that I could ever ask for to help me through it. He helped me guide myself through my situation and how to take care of myself and help my mother. Dave constantly checked up on me to see if I was okay and constantly reminded me that he was always available to talk. I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone, no matter their struggles as I guarantee Dave will help you get through it.
in my lifetime i have visited a variety of therapists, and to this point in my life they have had little to no effect on things and emotions i have wanted to change. However i looked into NLP and found David online. i managed to book a session with him a few months prior to this day and so far he has helped me become a better person and has drastically changed my output on life. to add this he has helped improve my emotional well-being as well.
I hated my dad, and was very annoyed and never got why he left my mom. Dave helped me understand that it was never my fault from the beginning and gave me the support to understand that it was their own personal problems and not mine. I am NOW a strong independent young lady and learning to love myself more every day
The experience of working with David Brittz has a strong foundation in kindness, true compassion, care, and unwavering protection of the vulnerable state. Self-work that could otherwise be frightening or inaccessible becomes a fearless and discovery-centered undertaking in which deep-seated beliefs that have become self-serving and harmful are given new perspectives as they are unearthed and then set free. This is an ongoing journey of healing without self-punishment, but healing in gratitude for what was - and setting it free in order to embrace what is, here and now. A truly reforming experience by a devoted professional.
