Simon Ward, Be Battle Ready - The podcast for strength, resilience, and longevity

Developing an Iron Mind * Simon Ward with Lucy Gossage, Helen Davis, and Helen Gorman


Listen Later

In this week’s podcast we have another hot topic - mental toughness.  A few weeks ago, superstar Ironwoman Lucy Gossage launched a new 6 part mental skills programme with her Sports Psychologist, Helen Davis.  I have known Lucy for many years and watched most of her victories, and I always assumed that racing at the front came completely natural to her. As you will hear in this conversation I was totally off the mark. Lucy is also an oncology doctor currently working at Nottingham City Hospital so is experiencing the Coronavirus situation on the front line. Whether you use mental skills for improving race performances or handling tough life situations, you are sure to find this podcast very informative.  Please make sure you read the show notes for details of a discount code that you can use if you wish to sign up with her programme.

In today’s conversation Lucy, Helen Davis and special guest, Masters Swim World record holder, Helen Gorman chat about:

  • Lucy’s current work in the NHS and her first hand experiences of the COVID19 situation
  • How the “iron-mind” skills are helping Lucy in her workplace at this very moment
  • Why my perceptions of how Lucy raced were totally wrong
  • Finishing 2nd at Ironman New Zealand on just 2 weeks of running
  • Helen Gorman explains how mental strength can help with your swim performance
  • When COVID19 recedes, how to manage expectations when you finally get back to racing
