Client Testimonials — Sports Therapy & Performance Coaching (Oxford Circus)
These are examples of what athletes and high performers say after working with Richard on performance, recovery and rehabilitation.
"I've had the pleasure of working with Richard for the last few years. In this time I've progressed up the single seater categories from Karting and have always been physically prepared for each challenge under his guidance. He has an in-depth knowledge of both the physical and mental demands of racing, fuelled by an unrivalled passion for motorsport."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
— Raoul Hyman, Single Seat Racing Driver
"Every time we work together, Rich enables me to push my limits to the next level. It has been a pleasure to have his support. Our attitudes to succeed are equally as high and for me, that is what makes the difference."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
— Pietro Fittipaldi, Professional Racing Driver
"I've trained with Rich for a number of years and he's been a very important part of my success on track. He's coached me during preseason training camps, supported me during race weekends and been part of my season training sessions. I really like how he pushes me to new limits every session, but we still have a laugh and he has a great knowledge of recovery, nutrition and physiotherapy, as well as regularly branching out of the gym to other sports, including Padel and rock climbing."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
— Harry Tincknell, Multiple Le Mans 24 Winner, Hypercar Driver
