Episode 4
Thursday, 27 February, 2025
We all recognise the countless hours of intense physical training that elite athletes dedicate to their craft. But how often do we stop to consider the consistent and careful mental training that is just as crucial for Olympic success? In this episode, Jess Thom, Lead Psychologist for Team GB, takes us behind the scenes of Olympic mental preparation, sharing exclusive insights into how she helps British Olympians build focus, confidence, and resilience to perform at their best. She explains the proven psychological techniques that help world-class athletes to perform at their best. Beyond her work with Team GB, Jess also leads MindForPerformance, an organisation that helps individuals and business leaders apply lessons from sports psychology to improve their own wellbeing and support others. She and her team advise on evidence-based techniques from elite sports psychology to enhance mental health and performance. She shares many of these practical strategies with host Sarah Cunningham in this episode! *** We are all Working on our Wellbeing daily, but not everyone has access to the latest cutting-edge research into the science of wellbeing … until now.
