What happens when an athlete has spent most of their life being valued for one thing, and suddenly they can’t do it anymore?
In this episode, Ryan speaks with sports psychologist Dr Misia Gervis about the psychological side of elite sport, from the environments athletes grow up in to the identity challenges that can surface when their careers end.
They discuss why some coaching practices can do more harm than good, how athletes can learn to see themselves beyond their performance, and why preparing for retirement needs to begin long before the final game.
