Today’s guest is uniquely qualified to talk about all things to do with a performance mindset. Yvonne ‘Go-Go’ Gomez is an ex-professional athlete who competed in the Olympics and is now a sports psychologist who works with athletes from a whole host of different disciplines. That said, our discussions are equally valid for anyone wanting to improve their mindset and parents who have kids in sport. We discuss growth mindset, redirecting pressure, confidence, imposter syndrome, outcome vs process, the power of breathwork and how mental imagery can change your life.
