We are back and we kick off our return with @wherebenmercer2, a former professional rugby player with a fascinating story to tell: https://t.co/OhqPAkpQpu. Check out his #1 Amazon best-selling book, Fringes, here: https://t.co/ldaGfcaWWg. Enjoy 🤗

The perception, understanding and value of Sport Psychology will be hard to change without qualified & accredited professionals (CPsychol, BASES, ProfDoc, HCPC) working directly within performance environments.

Too often are these services outsourced to unqualified consultants.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay We all experience mental health in our own different ways, so whether it's relaxing in the bath or going for a run, remember, self-care is always the most effective asset in your psychological armoury!

Felt like the nation needed that, didn't it? #ENG #EURO2020 #TogetherStronger

[Jack Hicks-Flynn (C.Psychol) @JHFSportPsych]

I've been looking into the literature surrounding "clutch performance" in light of this amazing summer of sport.

For me, this relatively contemporary area of research has consistently elicited thoughts of @sterling7 during #EURO2020!

"Increased performance under pressure"

[Phil Mickelson @PhilMickelson]

I’ve failed many times in my life and career and because of this I’ve learned a lot. Instead of feeling defeated countless times, I’ve used it as fuel to drive me to work harder. So today, join me in accepting our failures. Let’s use them to motivate us to work even harder.

[Jack Hicks-Flynn (C.Psychol) @JHFSportPsych]

Alvaro Morata reflecting on his first season @ChelseaFC:

"Had I had a professional [psychologist], close to me during my [first season] at #Chelsea, I think it would have gone better for me."

@Simon_t91 @SphereStir @StirUni Simon looks like a valuable paper. Be great to have you on our podcast!

[Dr Simon Taylor @Simon_t91]

My manuscript "Fear of failure in sport, exercise and physical activity: a scoping review" has been published. I can't believe it!! First 50 eprints are free https://t.co/X8HRwXfDU2
Of course, if you're having a hard time accessing it, let me know! @SphereStir @StirUni

[Jack Hicks-Flynn (C.Psychol) @JHFSportPsych]

There's nothing better than walking away from a session with an athlete feeling like you've genuinely helped them. The power of actively listening to an individual is so so so underrated in our everyday lives!

[Jack Hicks-Flynn (C.Psychol) @JHFSportPsych]

The world of professional football is branded as the holy land for wealth, happiness and linear success but in reality it's simply not the case.

I comment on my experiences of working and researching in this domain for @talkSPORT

[Ben Mercer @bcemercer]

This was one of the most fun podcasts I've done!

We talked about (amongst other things):
- why Kanye is like a great sports coach
- experiencing depression
- how not everyone in pro sport is chasing the top level
- permission in sport and book publishing
