Today we chat with Alice Williams, who represented Australia at the Olympics this year in Paris. Alice is a team member on the Aussie Stingers waterpolo team which won silver.
Alice talks honestly and openly about the highs and lows of her Olympic preparations and the impact it has had on her mentally. From missing out on selection for the Tokyo Olympics, to the gruelling lead up to the Paris Olympics and winning a silver medal, Alice discusses with me how she managed her emotions which enabled her to have standout performance at this years Olympics.

As a strong advocate for mental health awareness in athletes and young women, she shares her own journey with openness and honesty.

Some of this conversation will surprise you, but, Alice’s honesty and vulnerability around the impact high level sport can have on an athlete is eye opening.
I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did.
