Episode 70
Saturday, 16 May, 2026
Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with returning guests, Jenny Coe and Amy Whitehead. Amy is a Reader in Sport Psychology and Coaching and teaches across the Sport Coaching, Physical Education and Sport Psychology programmes at Liverpool John Moores University. Amy is a BPS accredited sport and exercise psychologist and has worked for organisations such as St. Helen's RFC, British Cycling, the FA, the Professional league and non-league football and European Tour Golfers. Jenny has been involved with elite sport for most of her life, having played as a guard in basketball for Ireland and WIT Wildcats before joining UK Coaching in 2018, where she supported coaches across multiple high-performance Olympic sports on their respective journeys. Currently one of her roles is in the FA, titled, Senior Lead Workforce Development. Jenny and Amy have edited the book called 'Women working in Sport." It offers a fresh, unapologetic lens on these challenges and moves decisively toward solutions. Through the voices of coaches, psychologists, administrators, academics and directors, this book sheds light on what's holding women back and more importantly, how we move forward.
