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.
