The Performance Psychcast - Episode 5 - The Pressure in Gymnastics

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.   www.arcope.co.uk www.focusperform.co.uk
