Supporting Champions

Steve discusses lessons from the frontline of working with elite performers with Jamie Pringle, Rosie Mayes. We discuss the essentials of that initial engagement with elite athletes, what to do and what not to do. Getting clarity around your role and what you're working to so that you can prioritise. What clues you might be drawing from the environment, the culture that can help you connect with others and be more effective. Importantly we discuss how some of our behaviours, actions and the bonds between us change under the pressure of competition. What is it like to work with an elite athlete? Understanding the culture and environment of sport Applying your skill and experience to the high performance training environment Step into the shoes of your athlete, see and experience what they do. Working with high level performers, winning Olympic medals, but the hard work is completed day in day out on the track or pool What if they are not interested in the science? The world doesn't revolve around you Team spor
