Documentary review: The Weight of Gold

Documentary review: The Weight of Gold

by Josephine Perry | Jan 10, 2026 | Athlete Stories, Athlete Wellbeing, Book reviews

Over the years I’ve been told The Weight of Gold is an excellent watch. It is an HBO production so I’d never been able to access it in the UK but now you can watch on Amazon Prime. In short: A really interesting reflection on the mental health aspects of performing in...

Review: Win the Inside Game by Steve Magness      

by Josephine Perry | Apr 21, 2025 | Book reviews, Books

I love to start a book review with a great phrase from the book that sums up the book. With Steve Magness’ new book: Win the Inside Game I can’t because there are just too many. Almost every page in my copy has a line underlined or a star drawn to indicate a key piece...
