10 weeks to race day…Goal setting

by Josephine Perry | Jan 26, 2020 | Goal setting, Improve, Performance Psychology, Project Paris, Sports Psychology

I knew on Monday this week would not be a ‘green’ week as coughing and sneezing flew around everyone in our house. I have asthma and every cold turns into a chest infection (if I’m lucky) or sinusitis (if I’m unlucky) so I try to be really gentle with myself when a...

I was recently asked by Runners World to talk on their podcast about how runners use social media. I love this subject (and spend far too much time on social media myself) so really enjoyed the chat. I haven’t been brave enough to listen to it yet so don’t know if...

Learning from the best: Matt Jones

by Josephine Perry | Dec 20, 2017 | Athlete Stories, Goal setting, Motivation, Performance Psychology, Sports Psychology
