Beyond the Game: Nurturing Athletes as Whole Individuals with Julia Eyre M.Sc, CSCS

As athletes, we focus so much on our bodies that we at times can neglect our minds and well-being. So, how are you truly feeling? What do you enjoy doing outside of sport? What makes you deeply happy? And lastly, who are you without sport?

That last question is the hardest one for most, but it is also the most important. It encapsulates so many questions you can ask yourself all in this short sentence. Take a listen to this episode as Julia Eyre breaks it down for us.

In today's episode, I am speaking with Julia Eyre of White Lion Performance. She coaches, teaches, researches, and advocates for athlete well-being in the sports system. Julia founded White Lion in order to offer athletes accessible and accurate information about health and performance. She works as a strength coach, sports scientist, and psychologist, and is based in Giesen, Germany.

We discuss a myriad of topics in this episode but our main focus was athlete well-being and health. Julia gave some tips for athletes to be proactive in optimizing their well-being, and we also talked a little bit about some of the things that need to change within certain systems and certain sports in order to prioritize athlete well-being. Because, as Julia mentioned multiple times, happy, healthy athletes are always going to perform better and live better.
