“Strategies to help stay positive and focused during these difficult times“
Weir Archer Academy had a Zoom evening with Paul Mortimer who spent an hour with over 30 athletes, coaches and family on the mindset needed during CV19 to ensure wellbeing and how to deal with mental health challenges in life, and in particular linked with sport.
Paul shared a very thorough analysis and talked about personal experiences from his own football career plus the people he has worked with over many years. Paul was totally open and transparent about his own mental health issues, and the content of the discussion focused on,
Paul discussed the fact that all the athletes are missing training and exercise, no doubt feeling anxious around the uncertainty of the racing season and everyone is missing the routine and comradely of the multiple weekly training sessions.
It was lovely for everyone to hear Paul talking about the hard training sessions he remembers with Jenny Archer a number of years ago, and a person he holds in such high esteem.
An open Q&A gave everyone a chance to ask questions and Paul helped everyone have some key take away’ s from the evening.
I would highly recommend Paul Mortimer and we look forward to spending more time with Paul in the coming months.
