How to deal with injuries mentally & physically - with Lily Eggleston

In today’s episode I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Lily about her recent meniscus surgery, how she deals with injuries mentally and how injury affects coaching. 

This is a great listen for anyone dealing with a similar issue and for any coaches wondering how to coach effectively whilst injured. 

Lily coaches at ‘F8 Movement Parkour’ gym in Indianapolis and Carmel (Indiana). She also works part-time as a baker in an Italian bakery.

Lily is one of the members of the Female Parkour Programme and we talk about what she is enjoying about it and why she thinks other women would benefit from it too.

I also cover what to eat if you are allergic to dairy.

Enjoy!

This episode is an interview I did on Sam Forget's podcast, Transformation Talks. It was such a great conversation that I asked if I could share it on my podcast too.

We discussed my Female Parkour Programme, how I got into parkour, the benefits I believe parkour can have for so many people.

We also talked about nutrition, how I coach my clients and how I maintain a healthy diet alongside a busy, active lifestyle.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

Linzi shares her story of how she got into parkour, training as a mum of three and how she continues to juggle it all.

I am very inspired by Linzi and it was so valuable to pick her brains and learn what helped her to stay consistent with her training whilst also being a mum of three young kids and having a full time job.

If this inspires you too, let us know in the comments below, and if you're a mum doing parkour, start using the hashtag #ParkourMama!

This episode is a conversation I had with Mel shortly after OMFG (Oslo Movement Festival Gathering), where she hosted a group discussion on the topic of "Coming Together to Make Our Community Stronger."

I thought it was such a valuable conversation to have at an event like OMFG, but I also felt that more people should have the chance to hear it, so here it is.

Enjoy!
