★★★★★
Performance
"Being in the moment and fully present when competing is essential to performance. I've been working with Antonio for over a year now and he's helped me do exactly that. As always I'm so grateful to have him in my corner and look forward to continuing to work together! I would recommend him to any athlete that wants to perform at their best."
Damar Thomas — Super Heavyweight Commonwealth Champion
★★★★★
Performance
"As a professional boxer, having my mind in the right place is essential. From building routines to developing self-motivation, Antonio has helped me take the steps I need to stay sharp — inside and outside the ring."

★★★★★
Performance
"Antonio helped unravel all the thoughts and emotions I had surrounding competition in my chosen sport. These, sometimes complex, ideologies and coping mechanisms, were broken down in simple, understandable and digestible terms which can easily be implemented as part of my training. Cannot thank, or recommend Antonio enough!"
Athlete
★★★★★
Performance
"I was skeptical about online sessions at first but he's very comforting, easy to talk to and understands exactly what I'm going through. I had booked these sessions in before my first competition back of the new season and managed to win comfortably whilst feeling present and confident and in control mentally, rather than numb which occurred in the past. Couldn't recommend him more!"
Athlete
★★★★★
Performance
"I have noticed a big shift in my game since the new year, and I do think that you have played a big part in that. Since the start of the season to December I had only scored 5 goals — in 2026 I have currently scored 11 goals in 8 games, performing consistently each game. My current situation is 16 goals in all competitions this season, my team is pushing for promotion, and I'm the second top scorer in my league, only 1 goal behind the top scorer. Thank you so much, I appreciate all that you have done for me."

★★★★★
Performance
"He played in his last competition at Loughborough recently, and his team made it through to the final. He had an absolute stormer of a day — the best I've ever seen him perform. Some of the opposition were calling him MVP of the tournament, and his club coaches were contacted by the England coach, asking to make sure he attends England trials. He was a nervous wreck a few months back, and I can't explain how happy it's made me watching him play with confidence and a smile."

Performance
"Working with Antonio during the build up to the World Championships was exactly what I needed to get my mindset right. I'm so grateful to have him in my corner and look forward to continuing to work together! I would recommend him to any athlete that wants to maximise their performance."

★★★★★
Nerves
"Nerves and pre-match anxiety is something I've struggled with since being a child, but I never understood why until I tried sports psychology. I would recommend him to anyone who feels they are being held back mentally."

★★★★★
Nerves
"Antonio's input with my son has been very beneficial. He was quickly able to develop rapport with him and provide him with tools to use to manage his stress responses during match play. He has been able to put the strategies into play during tough matches and has seen an improvement in his performance and results."

★★★★★
Nerves
"6 weeks ago at a competition I wanted to quit darts. I was struggling mentally with my confidence and self-belief in darts, so I started seeing a sports psychologist called Antonio Capasso. I explained the worries, nerves, and pressure I was feeling — over six weeks, Antonio helped me understand why these feelings happen and showed me different methods to manage and reduce the nerves, stress, and worries. I would highly recommend Antonio to anyone who struggles with nerves, low concentration, low confidence, or anxiety."
Judd Devonport — PDC Development Tour Darts Player
★★★★★
Confidence
"Over the eight weeks that my son has been meeting with Antonio, I have seen a significant shift in his behaviour. He's developed an understanding and vocabulary for the feelings he has pre and post games, and has a tool kit of techniques he's learning to use so he doesn't spiral into negative self-talk. It's been so empowering for him to understand why he feels anxious, and to learn through Antonio's guidance how to deal with those feelings."

★★★★★
Confidence
"My Psych, Antonio, was a very easy guy to talk to. I loved the fact that we would talk about different subjects every week and how he would try and understand my problem. By the end of the 6 weeks, I fixed my problem and he inspired motivation and confidence in me for my future in sports. I could not recommend him enough. Great guy"

★★★★★
Confidence
"Thank you, the sessions have definitely helped. She is so much more relaxed and has been enjoying matches. Before, she would have been beating herself up when she missed shots, but I noticed at her last match she just moved on when she missed. It is lovely to see her happy on court again!"

★★★★★
Injury
"Antonio managed to adapt his approach to supporting me when I became injured, and helped me feel like I could still develop as a footballer by focussing on skills such as leadership even when injured."

★★★★★
Injury
"I wanted to get in touch and say thank you so much for the help and support you have given him over the past couple of months. He's had a tough time recently, including an injury, and knowing he has someone to talk to who understands where he is in life has been incredibly helpful. You've really helped him, which has, in turn, really helped us."
Parent of a Young Athlete
★★★★★
Injury
"When I started working with Antonio, I was instantly struck by how much he empathized with my experience. He had also dealt with injuries, captained a sports team, and experienced the frustration from not realizing goals due to circumstances outside of one's control. I felt that I could really trust him and know that his advice, in addition to having professional qualifications and years of experience, came from a fellow athlete who really understood what I was experiencing."

★★★★★
Injury
"Antonio's work is rooted in principles that apply in so many aspects of life. I learned how the same qualities that enable an athlete to compete at the highest levels, and the same traits that allow captains to inspire and lead teammates, could enable me to process my negative emotions and channel them positively. Antonio's coaching helped me realize how to take the entire injury process and see it as a positive part of my life by recognizing how it could make me a more resilient person and give me time to pursue non-athletic worthwhile activities (in my case, developing professionally, learning how to overcome adversity, and learning a new language), which could even make me grateful that the injury happened in the first place. I am very happy to say today that I am approaching a full recovery, and thanks to Antonio's help, the injury has no longer been a burden on my life, and I have developed resiliency and concrete skills in emotional management that will serve me on and off the field the rest of my life."

"You did a fantastic job and built a great rapport with the team — the athletes said the same. We're looking forward to working with you again."
Para GB Team Head Coach
★★★★★
Team
"Over two sessions Antonio helped our team come together, focus on the things that were important, and move away from looking for outcomes and focus on the process that leads to the outcomes. Antonio has also equipped us with a set of tools to help us re-focus when things finally go our way — we've started using them in training and can see the difference. Antonio was very flexible, prepared well for our sessions, and was great at helping us shift the needle to bring out the best in our team. Thanks for everything!"

Team
"Have worked with Antonio to support a team pre-international tournament. Antonio delivered some bespoke workshops that were specifically designed around the needs and ways of working in the squad. Antonio was flexible, approachable and professional throughout. Looking forward to seeing how the new tools taught will help the team's performance! Would recommend!"

"I cannot recommend Antonio Capasso more highly. We reached out to Antonio when our 10 year old son started to become anxious about his performance. I had tried to find a sports psychologist, but hadn't been successful in finding someone who connected well with my son."
Parent of a Youth Athlete
★★★★★
Youth Athletes (10–14)
"I was worried my 10 year old son might struggle to stay focussed during online sessions, but I'm so glad we gave it a go. From the very first session, Antonio helped him feel at ease. As a former athlete himself, Antonio was able to relate to many of the things my son was feeling, and provided techniques and advice grounded in best-practice psychology."

Youth Athletes (10–14)
"My son looks forward to his sessions with Antonio each week and is always ready to go before the appointment, actively engaged throughout — which is impressive for a boy who has trouble sitting still for five minutes! I can tell from the way he talks about Antonio that he holds him in high esteem, and is much more willing to try out the techniques Antonio suggests than he would if they came from someone else."

Youth Athletes (10–14)
"I am so grateful we started sessions with Antonio — I feel like my son now has someone in his corner who can help guide him through the mental challenges of being a young athlete. Until you've had a child who lives and breathes a sport and is completely dedicated to winning at all costs, it's very difficult to understand how hard it is to help them through the emotional highs and lows that come with sporting success at a young age."

"Antonio Capasso is helping my son build the tools he needs to regulate his emotions and navigate anxious feelings — skills that will serve him for the rest of his life. My only regret is that we didn't start sessions with Antonio sooner!"

Youth Athletes (10–14)
"My son is a 10 year old athlete who competes in tournaments regularly. Antonio has helped him understand the psychological side of his sport and given him practical tools to manage emotions, pressure and expectations before, during and after matches. We've already seen a positive difference not only in his performance, but also in his confidence and overall mindset."

"Antonio has made such a huge difference to our son, building up his confidence and taking him to a different level in terms of his own self belief. This has had a big impact on his game play and progression, which has been noted by his coaches and even parents of other players. Thank you so much, Antonio."
