Lucy “To use a sporting metaphor to summarise my approach as a sport psychologist - I see myself as the training wheels on a bicycle that steady and guide an individual athlete or team while they pursue their goals. I see success as being when the training wheels can be removed, when I am confident that the athlete/team has the skills and tools to successfully follow their goals”.
