136 Overcoming Tough Times in Professional Women's Football and Bouncing Back Stronger
In this episode I was joined by professional footballer Charlotte Potts where we had a deep and fascinating conversation about different challenges that she has faced so far in her life and when playing Professional Women’s Football. We went on to discuss Discrimination, Mental Health and Mindfulness too as well as a whole lot more. It’s well worth a listen!
Key Learning Points:
- Charlotte’s mental health has suffered from time to time therefore she has looked to develop a high degree of self-awareness to help herself.
- Her family was pulled apart when she was young which was difficult for everyone concerned.
- Discrimination exists in football and in life, however progress is being made.
- Mental Toughness in football is about coping with pain and being able to push through barriers.
- Charlotte has an interest in Mindfulness and regularly practices the approach.
- Being able to take a step back has helped her with anger issues.
- Mindfulness has also helped Charlotte see things from a fresh perspective.
