Back to it this week, another brilliant interview! I spoke with Lena Kessler, a trainee Sport and Exercise Psychologist who is nearing the completion of her BPS Stage 2 training.

Topics including competing in sport (and how that has effected philosophy as a practitioner), working in Australia and how to answer when put on the spot! Massive thanks to Lena, plenty of take home points.

Another great interview, this time with Zach Brandon from IMG Academy! He talks us through practicising as a Mental Conditioning Coach in Florida, his journey to get where he is and what advice he gives to others working within Sport Psychology. 

Thanks to Zach for his time, gave some really honest insights into making mistakes as a practitioner. 

Another interview done! This time I spoke with James Claffey, a college lecturer and sport & exercise psychologist with over 10 years experience. 

We discuss the difference in training routes between the UK and Ireland, philosophy of practice and why should never undersell yourself as a practitioner! We also had an open discussion about mental health and how the stigma can only be removed by talking - which James did with great personal detail.

Thankful for James sharing his experiences, hope other people find them as insightful as I did!

This episode features an interview with Muhammad, who is working practising sport psychology in Malaysia having studied in the UK. We discuss the route for Sport Psychologists in the UK, taking a risk to find your own opportunities, and how congruence can help not only sport psychologists' but also prison guards!

Another really good interview from someone with passion and drive to succeed within the field of sport psychology, and I've no doubt he will!

EDIT: Upon request, I've made some changes to take out some langauge that people may find offensive.

Another detailed interview, this time with Chris Hartley (http://sportpsychologyscotland.co.uk). We talk BPS Stage 2, philopsophy of practice and how sport psychology in the UK can grow.

I also provide a reflection on the latest edition of BPS Sport and Exercise Psychology Review, linking a piece of work on sharing good practice to our very own Sport Psych Network! 

With 2 talking points to finish, make sure you get involved in the discussion - #SportPsychNetwork on Twitter.
