Edu is a Uefa Pro licensed coach with extensive experience within professional clubs in different countries. Edu is co-founder of My Energy Game. What inspired him to start this project? The belief that a true holistic approach needs to be focused on personal growth and development in a much deeper way...looking at your own energy as a human being & inspiring you to work on finding your true self. When we start understanding our true self and energy , we can unlock our true potential and gift...as individuals and players. We can perform at our best!

Tina is co-founder of My Energy Game. She started her career as a psychologist in the NHS; to then move into working more with natural therapies on one to one sessions with clients. In her private sessions she usually works on energy counselling, spiritual guidance and inner work. 
Tina is proud of having a wide range of clients from many walks of life; she has counselled vip clients and has also worked internationally. But there is nothing more rewarding to her than being a channel to support other human beings to find their true-self.

DR Andy Hooton
Head of Sport, Outdoor and Exercise Science at the University of Derby

I first graduated from Liverpool John Moores University in 2005 with BSc (Hons) Psychology and Biology. I then pursued my postgraduate education at Manchester Metropolitan University where I completed an MSc in Sport and Exercise Science (Psychology sided) in 2006, following which I began a part-time PhD at the University of Huddersfield in sport psychology, which I completed in January 2016. In addition to my PhD research I have strong interests regarding how psychological factors influence performance on a number of levels. Work as an applied practitioner (with both individuals and teams) has fuelled an interest in research regarding enhancing athlete performance and wellbeing. 

I became a BASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist (Psychology - Scientific Support) in 2011 and have worked as a consultant with a range of athletes since 2007. I am currently working as the Sport Psychologist at Derbyshire County Cricket Club.

In 2012 I was appointed as a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of Derby where I lecture on the sport and exercise programmes, pursue research within the field of sport and exercise psychology, and continue to provide sport science support to athletes and exercise clients.
