S4 Ep9 - Mindset Shifts Athletes Need As They Age with Betsy Tuffrey, sports psychologist
The GB Sports Performance PodcastShow Notes
Today I’m joined by sports psychologist Betsy Tuffrey to talk about the mindset shifts athletes need as they get older, especially when prepping for big competitions.
We cover:
The biggest mindset trap for adult athletes: stubbornness (and when it helps vs holds you back) Why comparing yourself to your 21-year-old self is sabotaging your performance How to reframe ageing as an advantage The balance between pushing hard and actually prioritising recovery Pressure vs expectation, and how to stay grounded in what you can control How to rebuild confidence when training hasn’t gone to plan
If you’re heading into competition feeling underprepared, frustrated, or questioning your performance, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and perform with confidence.

Most of us don't have the luxury of training like professional athletes. We have jobs, families, responsibilities and a lot less time.
Big competition coming up?
What does it actually mean to be athletic as we get older?
