Sport Psychology part Team GB's success
Sport Psychology has been mentioned by Team GB’s cyclist Victoria Pendleton as an important component of her success in Beijing 2008. She said:
“I can honestly say that I don’t think I’d be here if it wasn’t for (sports psychologist) Steve Peters and the work he has done with me,” she said. “I’m really lucky to have a team around me. Mark Simpson, my strength and conditioning coach, knows me better than I know me, so credit to him too.
Its great that support teams are recognised and I wonder as a result of the great success of Team GB will more money be assigned to support teams of athletes in the build up to London.
