Tom and Chris explore the highs and lows of Tom’s rugby career, the role that mental health plays when you’re under constant pressure to perform and the impact of your attitude as a leader, as well as practical tips for working on your emotional resilience in order to be authentically agile including:

  • How you can be kinder to yourself
  • Your own demands to get a perfect result
  • Our tendency to look at the negatives and over analyse our performance
  • Balancing wellbeing with high pressure demands
  • The impact of mental health in delivering a good performance
  • The importance of mental health as a leader and the influence it has on your team

There are many parallels between the pressures that doctors and professional athletes face throughout their career. It is unquestionable the influence mental health has on performance. Every professional athlete has the support of a dedicated sports psychotherapist. Our mission at You Okay, Doc? Is to replicate that in the medical field.
