Summary

In life, in sport, in the gym, is winning the goal? Dr Josephine Perry is a sports psychologist and coaches young athletes from the age of 8, right up to 80 year olds still trying to achieve their goals. And while we all have goals, how do they take shape, and what is the definition of achieving them? When we then set out to achieve a goal, what then holds us back, fear, a lack of confidence, the comments of others, a lack of preparation? Dr Perry has just written an awesome book called “I Can: The Teenage Athletes Guide to Mental Fitness”, except the book is for all, its simplicity and approach is brilliant, for young or old, and I loved this interview. If you are goal driven, or want to be more goal driven, or want to achieve more, this show is for you.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, how on earth are you doing? I hope you have an
0:05.2	awesome day. I am very excited about today's show. You know I love talking about
0:11.8	mental health, how it relates to fitness, how it relates to our self-concept,
0:17.0	how we can be more confident people, which is something that me and Tom spoke
0:21.5	about last week, and I've got someone far more intelligent than myself to talk
0:26.8	about this today. She's just brought out a book. This book is actually aimed at
0:31.2	teenagers, but we're going to talk more broadly about the concepts in the book
0:35.2	today. But even the title, I think, is fascinating. I'll read it to you. The title is
0:39.2	I Can, the Teenage Athletes Guide to Mental Fitness. Interesting. Dr. Josephine
0:46.7	Perry, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me.
0:51.8	How are you? I am good. I got to swim this morning for the second time since
0:59.0	September. It was really nice just to do something really normal. I suppose lockdown
1:07.2	life has been interesting for you. Like it has for everyone. Yeah, so we've got a
1:11.8	four-year-old. So that was very interesting in the first lockdown. And actually
1:18.9	it's quite lucky, I guess, a lot of my business dropped away in that first
1:23.7	lockdown because most of my time is helping athletes get ready for races and
1:29.3	everything just dropped out of the calendar. So it was lovely. I got to spend a
1:33.3	lot of time with her when she was at a really cool age. And then actually it's all
1:38.6	picking back and crazy busy again now. So it was all right. Awesome. Right, let's
1:45.2	find out more about you. Let's set the stage. What do you do day to day? And I
1:50.9	suppose what led you to coaching young people with their performance? So my
1:58.5	backgrounds, probably not what you would expect at all for a sports psychologist.
