Athletes are acknowledged for their performances on the field. We might recognize their good deeds, but for the most part - it’s about winning!

Injuries are detrimental. They put athletes on the sideline.

But those injuries are physical, right?

Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show knows all about the physical injuries, but believes the emotional impact is even greater.

Hazel Gale is a former kickboxer and boxer with multiple World, European and National titles. Her outward success, however, had a dark side: the stress of competition and relentless self-doubt drove her into an emotional and physical burnout that led to years of chronic illness.

Hazel's eventual recovery inspired her to qualify as a therapist and coach, and for over a decade she worked with high-level athletes, business executives and others as a master practitioner of cognitive hypnotherapy - an evidence-based approach that combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and traditional hypnotherapy with theories of modern neuroscience.

Hazel's 2018 book "The Mind Monster Solution" was published internationally and became an Amazon bestseller in both mental health and psychology.

Currently, Hazel is the co-founder and the chief creative officer of Betwixt - an award-winning-app that blends psychology with interactive storytelling to make wellness feel like an adventure instead of a chore.
