Nurturing the Heart and Soul of Elite Athletes: Abby Carrington #016

As someone who works closely with professional athletes, Abby has a deep understanding of the pressure that footballers are under. She knows that their careers can be short and that they are constantly under the spotlight. This can often lead to mental health problems, and, in her current role at Swansea Football Club, Abby is there to help them deal with those issues.   In this episode, Abby discusses her work in player care, and how she helps professional athletes deal with the pressures of the game. She also gives us a unique insight into mental health, and self-awareness, and how her work has given her a deep understanding of the subject. We also discuss gender equality,  and how Abby is working to improve the situation for women working in football.  This is a fascinating episode and one that will give you a deep insight into the world of mindfulness and self-care.
