Nomadic Athlete

"Nomadic athletes" was the theme of a sport psychology day I attended with England Cricket at Trent Bridge. This is a hot topic in cricket since modern professional players often play for their county, their country, and other lucrative franchises around the world.

In doing so they have very little consistency in their environment, routines and support network, yet they are expected to continuously play at the highest level. It immediately resonated with me and was very relevant to the work we do with some equestrians.

In this audio I discuss the concept of Nomadic athletes, the demands they face, how they stay at their best, and how we can best work with them as coaches.
