Jonathan Brain (who is also studying for a Sport and Exercise Psychology MSc) and I created the Mastering the Mind podcast with the aim of sharing, translating and demystifying sport psychology content to coaches and athletes of all levels, as well as others interested in the field. We also wanted to provide a new type of sport psychology podcast, providing relatable content from a student’s perspective.
Since starting the podcast, we have secured some high-profile guests, including Olympic athletes Holly Bradshaw and Emily Borthwick, as well as former Manchester United FC player Kenji Gorre. It has been a pleasure to have an in-depth conversation with these people and to gain an insight to their journeys.
Jonathan and I would love to do the podcast full-time, whilst forming a consultancy business where we support athletes and coaches from a variety of different sports. However, the main goal is to enjoy the process, not to become too obsessed with numbers on social media and have a positive impact on people’s lives.
