I'm delighted to speak with Andreas Küttel in this week's episode. Andreas is a Swiss former ski jumper who won five World Cup competitions from 2005 to 2007, and placed third in the overall World Cup in 2006. He won a gold medal in the individual large hill event at the 2009 Ski Jumping World Championships. Andreas also competed at three Winter Olympics, earning his best finish of fifth in the individual normal hill event in 2006.

After his competing days, Andreas entered academia working in the field of sports science at the University of Southern Denmark.

In this episode we discuss a research paper he led on which explores mental health and performance dynamics in elite sport.
