E14 - Prof. David Fletcher. What the research tells us about the psychology of swimming!

In this conversation, David Fletcher shares his extensive journey from being a competitive swimmer to becoming a sports psychologist and academic. He discusses the importance of sports psychology in enhancing athlete performance, the gaps in education for coaches, and practical tips for those without access to resources.

David emphasises the need for emotional intelligence in coaching and the role of parents in supporting young athletes. He reflects on personal growth, the significance of focusing on the process rather than outcomes, and offers resources for coaches to develop their psychological skills.

You can access many of the articles David has published via his public profile here: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/schools/sport-exercise-health-sciences/people/david-fletcher/#tab4
