Description
Imperfectly Human™ is the podcast that explores the human being behind the athlete.
Hosted by athlete identity coach, performance coach, and therapist Rachel Blogg, this podcast helps current and former athletes navigate the mental side of sport—from performance pressure and confidence to injury, retirement, identity, and life after sport.
Each episode features honest conversations with athletes, coaches, sports professionals, and experts about the challenges that don't show up on the highlight reel. Together, we explore athlete identity, mental performance, sports psychology, resilience, confidence, and the transition beyond competition.
Whether you're competing at a high level, recovering from an injury, adjusting to retirement, or trying to rediscover your purpose after sport, you'll gain practical tools and real conversations to help you move forward with confidence.
Because your performance is something you do, not who you are.
Welcome to Imperfectly Human™.
