How did you get into sports psychology?
I got into sports psychology because it combined two elements I was passionate about – sports and helping people. Sports psychology is about helping athletes, teams, and organisations achieve their potential through improving performance and well-being. I love being able to play a part in that journey!
Why did you set up empowering excellence?
I founded Empowering Excellence to create a space where athletes felt supported, and empowered to take control of their mindset in competitive sport. Empowering Excellence was born from a passion for working alongside and helping elite sportspeople achieve their goals and developing a business that reflected my values.
Who are you working with currently?
I’m currently the sports psychologist for an NSL team, I have been with them for three seasons. I am also the programme lead for sports psychology with England Touch Rugby. Currently, I’m helping the Men’s open team prepare for the World Cup. It is being held in Nottingham this summer!
