  • Résumé

  • The world of football has changed. The development we have seen over the past decade is breathtaking. For a long time, professional football has been evolving far beyond a Saturday afternoon beer with the mates, willing your team on to excellence and triumph on the pitch. It unites people from the most diverse backgrounds and gives purpose to so many, but it is a hard-fought industry. A world full of glory and recognition but also one filled with disappointment and pain. A world in which financial gain often prevails over a player’s well-being and in which a good performance outweighs the mental stability of the individual. A world in which the development and growth of women’s football is breaking records everywhere we look, but yet, these athletes are still fighting for acceptance, recognition and equal opportunity every single day. What is it truly like to be a professional athlete in this environment? How do you deal with your worth so often being sought to be dependent on your performance on the pitch? In this podcast we are ready to tackle bold topics in sport, highlight the women's football industry and speak about the unspoken. If you are ready to get an insight into what really goes on behind the scenes, join us on our journey and listen in to The Bold Tackle.

  • There's a tiger waiting around the corner

    There's a tiger waiting around the corner
    May 30 2024
    Recently, more and more professional athletes have shared their stories and experiences with mental health struggles. Their willingness to shed light on these internal battles is significant and has likely helped many people facing similar challenges, both on and off the pitch. But who supports these athletes during these tough times? Who is there for them when they are left alone with their thoughts? Is there a connection between mental well-being and performance psychology? What if we told you that confidence isn't always necessary for peak performance? Jess Thom, the head of performance psychology for Team GB at this year’s Olympics, sat down with us to discuss these very topics. From the importance of training your brain to think positively to distinguishing between feelings and behaviors when discussing confidence, Jess provides incredible insights into her work. She also shares how everyone can use performance psychology to elevate their game.

  • A season of challenges, graft and growth

    A season of challenges, graft and growth
    May 23 2024
    With the last game for the 2023/24 season just having passed, in this week’s episode we will be taking the time to review and reflect on the past twelve months. As much as it’s fair to say that Leicester City’s women did not reward their performances with enough convincing results throughout the season, Sophie insists that, yet, it was a season that indicated that the club and team are moving in the right direction. A season with many challenges, that however was defined by and will be remembered for the team’s togetherness, resilience, and fight.
