This week on the podcast, we had the chance to speak with Scottish badminton player Kirsty Gilmour. Representing Scotland and Great Britain since 2008, Kirsty is a repeat medalist at both the Commonwealth games and the European Games and became an Olympian in 2016 after competing at the Rio Olympics. We speak about the value of hard work and how her hard work mentality has brought her to where she is today, but also about how she had to learn the hard way that comments on social media (both good and bad) can have a huge impact on your performance as an athlete and that it’s extremely important to work on your mental game and maintain a proportional work-life balance. 

Enjoy the episode!
