The Performance Psychcast
Welcome to our podcast around the mental side of performance, both in sport and business. Your hosts are Greg Parry from Arcope and George Mitchell from FocusPerform. Here we will speak to a variety of guests such as sportspeople, sports psychologists, members of the army, businesspeople, so basically anywhere where psychology can be applied to mental health and performance. We are hoping to shed a light on what it is like to work in performance psychology and how it can be applied to the individual and the real world. www.arcope.co.ukwww.focusperform.co.uk
