Ross is the Performance Manager for Rotherham United Football Club; basically, he helps professional athletes to be at the top of their game.
But it’s not just science; it’s empathy, too. There’s so much packed into this episode, including a look at performance anxiety and the impact fans can have on an athlete’s wellbeing.
Ross' job sees him spending time away from his wife and kids, and as he puts it: 'I can't put the phone away in the bottom drawer... what if a player needs a medical first thing in the morning?'
We talk about working through guilt and feeling pretty rubbish, which lead to Ross' mantra of whatever he is doing, it must be the most important thing at that time... or he wouldn't be doing it.
