    Ukraine’s Lead War Psychologist Alan Richardson's lessons on Post-Traumatic Growth from the Frontline: How to Overcome Poor Performance Trauma for Elite Athletes

    In this episode, I sit down with my mentor and supervisor, Alan Richardson, a world-leading expert in post-traumatic growth. Alan has spent the last two years as the lead psychologist for the Ukraine war effort, training local psychologists and providing therapy to frontline soldiers every Saturday—a role he was personally requested to take on by the ex-president’s daughter. His groundbreaking approach focuses on proactively addressing trauma during the war rather than waiting until the aftermath. We explore how Alan applies his knowledge from working with soldiers facing life’s greatest existential threat—the invasion of their homeland—to the challenges of elite athletes. He draws parallels between the trauma of poor performance in sport and the psychological adversity faced in war, sharing strategies to not only cope with trauma but move toward your dreams in the face of hardship. This conversation is packed with wisdom on proactively dealing with adversity, leveraging trauma as a catalyst for growth, and pursuing your aspirations with resilience and determination. Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking episode that blends insights from the battlefield and the world of high performance.
