Will Duffin and Laura Penhaul – Developing a Performance Mindset for the Frontline

Double World Record Holder and Lead Physiotherapist for the Olympic British Sailing Team Laura Penhaul joins Will Duffin to chat about the similarities between athletes and medics currently on the frontline.

Laura considers the lessons we can take from her incredible journey across the Pacific and the ‘unknown horizon’; including polyphasic sleep patterns and the importance of managing emotions, especially your ‘chimp brain’, when under pressure. 

The duo also discuss the importance of creating a performance management bubble around medics to allow them to be at their best – as well as encouraging clinicians themselves to grab ‘snippets of joy’ each day.
