Health Connect Hub

This week, we are joined by Dr. Peter Olusoga (@po2209), senior lecturer in psychology and host of the Eighty Percent Mental podcast (@eightpercentmental). Pete is active sport psychology consultant, working with athletes and teams in a variety of sports.

 It took us all a while to get this conversation together but it was definitely worth the wait! We hope you enjoy it!

• Pete's progression towards the psychological sciences
• The changing narrative around athletes and mental health and why this is a good thing for everyone
• Athletes using their voices for change and the long history associated with this
• Thinking critically about the world around you
• Key elements from ACT to get the most out of performance - athletes or otherwise
• Hot drink controversy
