275 Training Your Mind, with Lucy Gossage and Sports Psychologist Helen Davis - a podcast by Rob Wilby

Lucy Gossage is a 14x Ironman champion, and legend of Ironman UK and Ironman Wales. Helen Davis is a Chartered Sports Psychologist who worked with Lucy over the last 4 years of her career. 

It's easy to imagine that success and confidence come easily to a 14x Ironman Champion like Lucy Gossage. However, in frank and open interview, Lucy talks about how she suffered from 'imposter syndrome' for almost all her racing career, never feeling like a 'proper' professional, and often struggled with the confidence and self belief that she could do well in races. In this dual interview, Lucy talks about how working with Helen revolutionised both her training/racing performance, and her belief in herself in her wider life. 

Helen and Lucy have teamed up to produce the 6-video IRON-MIND course, which has been developed for Ironman and other endurance athletes to enhance their psychological approach to training and racing. "IRON-MIND is structured on evidence-based research and experience in sport psychology consultancy," says Helen. 

In this special edition, Lucy and Helen talk through some very practical, actionable mental training exercises that you can do to improve your mental strength and confidence in your ability.
