Laura Greenbank - Golf Psychology Coach
Laura's experience of leading sports teams for over 18 years as an outstanding teacher, has created a fascination for the way sports players perform. When she combined this with her recent studies into growth mindsets and how external factors can affect us, Laura began on this venture. The skills and knowledge Laura has acquired through her studies has opened her eyes to how truly powerful our minds are and the impact they can have on the performance outcomes, both on the course and off. This insightful awareness was Laura's incentive to create LG Golf Psychology Coaching. Her passion to share this knowledge with other golfers and be part of supporting their game is what Laura believes in. Learn More
