Favourite thing to do in my job: Interviewing elite athletes and hearing about their amazing stories on how they reached the top of their sport.
My Work

My work focuses on how the world’s best athletes, such as Olympic and World champions, thrive under pressure.
My Typical Day

There’s no typical day really. Some days I could be doing research, for example conducting interviews or collecting questionnaires from athletes. Other times I could be teaching seminars for undergraduate students and some days I could be mentoring elite athletes to help them perform better in competition.
What I'd do with the prize money

I’d like to do career talks in schools to promote sport psychology because it’s a subject a lot of people haven’t heard about.
