TESTIMONIALS
"Richard gave ESSKIA athletes, coaches and parents informative and outstanding lecture on Mental Health in Sport. Such a difficult subject to get across to a multitude of ages was made to look easy. Richard’s manner and interaction with his audience was a pleasure to watch and listen to. He was both informative and well prepared.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Finch."
Mr R Robson
Vice Chairman, ESSKIA
"Richard’s enthusiasm and passion for seeing people grow is infectious. He was able to set my fears and limiting beliefs at ease and help me focus on the end goal, while mapping out an realistic route to get there. I would recommend anyone to work with Richard, if you’re looking for a coach to help you take a step back from the day-to-day brushstrokes on the canvas and see life's bigger picture - and how to make the most of the opportunities at hand.”
