Over the past two days, we welcomed students from TCAT Academies for a series of immersive Sport Psychology and Performance Lifestyle experience days 🧠🏃‍♀️

Pupils took part in engaging workshops, athlete Q&As, and hands-on sessions in Blind Football and Laser Run. These activities were designed to build awareness, self-understanding, and practical tools to support their academic and sporting journeys 🔬🙌

A big thank you to @HeeneyConor for coordinating the events, and to all LJMU staff, students, and athletes involved for delivering such impactful sessions.
