🎙️ Welcome to another episode of Project Peak Performance! Today, we have the incredible Claire Lidyard, ready to share her journey from the mats of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the classrooms where she transforms the lives of special needs children.

 🥋 Claire started her journey as the only female in the gym. The challenges she faced, the grit she displayed, and the journey that led her to the coveted black belt.

🌟 But Claire's story doesn't stop there. She seamlessly transitions from the world of armbars and chokes to education, specialising in special needs children within mainstream schools. Today, she's not just a black belt; she's a black belt in life, navigating the complexities of both physical combat and the intricate landscape of education.

 👊 Get ready to be inspired as Claire unveils the secrets of what it takes to climb the ranks in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From the mental fortitude required to step on the mat as the only woman to the experience of coaching her own women's classes—Claire's insights are a roadmap for anyone striving for greatness.

🩺 And then came the curveball. Claire faced the toughest opponent of her life: a diagnosis of cancer. The battle wasn't just physical; it was a test of mental resilience. Listen closely as Claire shares how her journey through illness affected not only her body but also her approach to training and life itself.

 💡 But wait, there's more! Claire isn't just a martial artist and a survivor; she's a beacon of change in the educational landscape. As an Assistant Headteacher specialising in special needs education, she discusses the developing brain—how children grow into adults and what needs to change within schools to create a more inclusive and supportive environment.

🚀 Get ready to be inspired, enlightened, and perhaps a little choked up as Claire graces our podcast with her wisdom, experience, and the unshakeable belief that, with the right mindset, we can all become black belts in our own lives.
