Welcome to The Performance Psychcast. This week's guest is Maddie Fry, a former gymnast, who is going to talk to us about the pressure she faced as a young gymnast, and how this affected her performance and wellbeing. Recently, British gymnastics has had a few athletes speak out about the mistreatment they faced as youth athletes, with the Guardian mentioning Beckie and Ellie Downie, Louis Smith, and others. We are staying away from the names of coaches and associations but wanting to shed more light on the gymnast-coach relationship and the cultural issues in gymnastics.

We are really excited this week to welcome Ben Worle from CrossFit Chew Valley. We had a conversation that delved deeper into the mental side of CrossFit which perhaps doesn't get the attention it deserves. CrossFit is described as "constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity". All CrossFit workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing, and more!

Welcome to our podcast around the mental side of performance, both in sport and business. Your hosts are Greg Parry from Arcope and George Mitchell from FocusPerform. Here we will speak to a variety of guests such as sportspeople, sports psychologists, members of the army, businesspeople, so basically anywhere where psychology can be applied to mental health and performance. We are hoping to shed a light on what it is like to work in performance psychology and how it can be applied to the individual and the real world.
