Book review: And so I run by Jamie Doward

by Josephine Perry | Aug 13, 2025 | Athlete Stories, Book reviews, Performance Psychology

Three chapters into And so I run I was ready to email the publishers and say I couldn’t review this book because I only put out reviews of books I love (feels mean to proactively publish a negative review) and I just didn’t like it enough. It came across as...

Review: If in Doubt, Wash Your Hair by Anya Hindmarsh

by Josephine Perry | Apr 23, 2025 | Book reviews, Books

My lovely friend (and Be Braver podcast co-host) Annie Emmerson told me to read this book. I am a big fan of Anya Hindmarsh’s bags (if you have been stared at by my backpack – it has eyes – then it is one of hers) but never reflected on who she might be as a...

Teenagers: The Evidence Base by Matilda Gosling

by Josephine Perry | Jan 31, 2025 | Book reviews, Books, Uncategorized

This is a book on how to use research evidence to parent children from 10-18. As the mum of an 8 year old (and am dreading the teenage years) and who works with junior athletes aged 10 and over I really wanted to delve in and see what I could learn for myself and the...
All That Matters, Sir Chris Hoy, book review

All That Matters, Sir Chris Hoy, book review

by Josephine Perry | Dec 11, 2024 | Athlete Stories, Athlete Wellbeing, Book reviews

Absolutely loved this book. I didn’t cry as much as I thought I might because it was so positive. There was so much to learn from a sporting and a life perspective. Overall, it felt like a love letter to his family (I warn you when he reads messages to them at the end...
