“What does movement mean to you?”
“What do want out of sport?”
“What happens when you experience a traumatic event to both your mental and physical well being?”
“How does sport become a part of your identity”
I rarely speak about the mental side of sport on this page, but if you’re a Gold athlete, you’ll know how much I value both the physical AND mental sides of training.
When I graduated with my BSc (Hons) in High Performance Sport Science, I felt very comfortable with the anatomy, physiology and physical adaptations that happen when we move and train. You can easily track progress and changes. (It’s also the easiest part to sell.)
But this year I realised I had neglected my major in psychology — and more specifically, sport psychology.
I’m not a psychologist or an expert, and I don’t claim to be. But I am intentionally going to build my knowledge in this area because I believe it has an enormous place in coaching.
It allows me to explore things like:
• Performance psychology
• Goal setting
• Athlete wellbeing & motivation
• Performance mindset & behaviour
• The relationship between thoughts, behaviours and performance
And honestly, I’m really excited about this side of coaching.
Last year I expanded my knowledge on sports nutrition and recovery modalities and now this is my next venture.
Sport has been a constant in my life and something that keeps me grounded amoungst the chaos, and if you need guidance in this, I would love to use my experience to help 🤍
