Mike Catt OBE to visit Tuttles Lane Wednesday 18 April

Our thanks go to Clydesdale Bank who bring Mike Catt OBE to the club on Wednesday 18 April 2012 to join in coaching sessions (4.30pm – 6.15pm) with two very lucky youth teams. One of these lucky teams will be the Under 15’s, as this arrangement was originally set up by our own Gordon Duffy, whose son plays in that team. Thank you Gordon!

In the evening, Mike Catt will join us for a Questions & Answers session in the Clubhouse (7.30pm – 9.00pm), revealing, amongst other things, how the same motivational techniques used in high performance sport can be transferred to the business world.
