S4 Ep10 - Balancing Life & Elite Tag with Emma Becker

The GB Sports Performance Podcast

Show Notes

Today I’m joined by GB Tag athlete and coach Emma Becker to talk about what it really looks like to balance elite sport with full-time work, motherhood, and everything in between.

We cover:

How Emma manages training around a full-time job and three young children The reality of being “time poor” Finding creative ways to fit training into real life The mental shift after having children and letting go Why being a mum can make you a better athlete The importance of patience when returning to sport post-pregnancy Pelvic floor rehab and building strength first The power of community The biggest myth about mums in sport

If you’re trying to juggle life, work, and sport and wondering if you can still compete at a high level this episode will show you what’s possible when you train smarter, let go of perfection, and make it work on your terms.
