"I have worked with Denis Coen and I could not recommend him highly enough. The service that he offers is essential for all athletes in order to ensure that they perform to the best of their ability"

~ David Brady - Former Mayo & Connaught footballer


“Denis Coen knows what it's like to be a sportsperson with ambition - he knows the vulnerabilities sportspeople feel. That comes from his career as a high-achieving Gaelic footballer. Thus he brings an invaluable edge to his work as a Performance, Mind & Fitness Coach. He has been there. He's sat in a Croke Park dressing room and got himself 'right' for big games. Allied to that experience, Denis is what I would call an 'asker of questions.' He is always keen to explore, to seek out the essence of the situation. He can bring great value to your sporting enterprise.”

~ Liam Horan. Media & Business Consultant - Journalist & Broadcaster


"Denis Coen has simply given me the tools to handle problems. My physical game was always there but now my mental game is there as well."

~ Fred Dinsmore - European & World Pool Champion.


"I played alongside Denis for Ballina Stephenites senior football team. I never worked with a sports psychologist or performance mind coach before because, I guess, I was always a bit sceptical about it. "However, I am delighted we are working together and I now realise the importance of preparing mentally and not just physically. Denis is one of those people who keeps things very simple and practical."

~ Ciaran Sweeney - Former Mayo U21 Footballer & Irish Intermediate Boxer.


"In my sport of cycling I strongly believed results were the outcome of good physical training and was never keen on focusing to heavily on my psychology. Denis's seminar was an eye opener for me, In the space of an hour he clearly pointed out numerous flaws in my psyche and frame of mind towards both my training and competition. I took on board his philosophy and applied it directly to my sport and over the past few weeks have seen both developments on and off my bike."

~ Paddy Clarke - Full Time Cyclist in Belgium.


“Well done on your most interesting and recent enlightening Sports Psychology Seminar. It was most interesting and not aimed over people's heads and was therefore in no way intimidating. Communication flowed back and forth freely. Everyone can learn from such events, male or female, young or old, athlete or spectator, so here's to seeing your 2011 diary."

~ Brian Fitzpatrick - Irish Senior Boxer.


“May I say that I was very impressed with your workshop. I thought that you had prepared very well and that instead of confusing us lay people in psychological theory, you made it easy and simple to understand. You got your point across each time and held the interest of the audience. I know that I left with more knowledge and would certainly recommend your seminar to all no matter what level or involvement they had with sport.”

~ Dermot Kenny –  Team Manager.


“With the positive and practical advice and observations provided by Denis, I have been able to translate that sentiment to foster a relaxed and winning mentality”

~Andrew Cronje - Mens Senior League Hockey


“Denis really showed us how important it is to train your mind as well as your body in sports and they ensured that mentally we were at our best. He is very approachable and always there for us.”

~Siobhan Burke - Senior League Hockey
