I'm So Appreciative of You Coming On

Dr Zöe Wimshurst is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology within the School of Psychology, Sport and Physical Activity at AECC Univirsity College in Bournemouth, England. She is a Chartered Psychologist specialising in visual performance in elite athletes. She also runs the consultancy 'Performance Vision' and has worked with Sir Clive Woodward among others..

Zöe has worked with many Olympic and professional athletes to help them improve their performance by improving their perceptual capabilities. The athletes she works with have gone on to win Olympic medals, World and European championships, as well as set many personal best achievements.

In this conversation we cover the following:

• The challenges of working with U8s
• Why her own talent journey was curtailed by poor coaching
• How visual perception and agility are intertwined
• Why the phrase 'you can't teach that' is nonesense
• The biological reason why players 'revert to type'
• Why video games are great for developing visual abilities

and so much more!!

It's a great conversation - I hope you enjoy
