Sara Parfett

In this episode of The Athlete Welfare Podcast, I recorded with Sara Parfett, a #Tokyo2020 British Olympic Association Debutant, of The Great British Rowing Team. 

First of all, the upmost best of luck to you in Tokyo, Sara, we are all behind you...

Throughout this conversation, myself and Sara discussed the processes undertaken to develop relationships within different techniques of communication. 

It was intriguing to investigate the differences regarding demands, small-talk, process goals within internal goals, external challenges in the form of impacts upon performance, between solo and team sports. From Sara's experiences in solo swimming, to solo rowing, to now rowing within a crew, we see a complete insight into the comparisons.

I found it interesting when we discussed vulnerability making way for honest self-reflection, but positively reflecting rather than negatively, having overall awareness, in turn creating confidence and self-belief which secures one's welfare and results in high performance. 

I hope you all enjoy todays conversation,
