Episode description

Jess Thom is Team GB’s lead psychologist, a sports and performance specialist who helps elite athletes to fulfil their potential, on and off the field.


Jess shares some of the key mental strategies she uses to help her athletes excel, many of which can be applied to anyone looking to improve their everyday performance. 


You’ll hear Jess explain how to handle your inner critic, when and how visualisation can be most useful, how to handle nerves and fear and why ‘what-if’ planning builds resilience and reduces anxiety. These are insights from someone making a difference at the very top of elite sport.
