Recent Recap!

It's been a pleasure to coach in the sunshine over the last couple of weeks! Both at Bridgwater and at Exeter Uni, along with visiting Bicton Arena for some showjumping

Been a quiet working week this week, and it'll be lovely to have an Easter Break to enjoy some more of the lovely weather and get out to as many sporting events as I can

Recently, Maddie and I have been working on a football psychology project for the summer - more to be revealed soon, watch this space!

Western Conference Finals 🥈

Just over 24 hours of reflection after the final whistle, I still couldn't be prouder of this team 💚

3s have achieved so much this season, still with 2 league matche left, but Cup finals don't come around too often so it's only right to celebrate this accomplishment 🏆

After beating two other Bristol teams in the earlier rounds, we matched up with UWE 1s in the final. Already winners of their league and they had come past our 2s previously ⚔️

We celebrated and enjoyed the day throughout and when the inevitable tough moments came during the match, we stuck together well and put ourselves in the best possible position to cause yet another upset.🍾

It wasnt to be, and credit to UWE who put us under immense pressure and eventually found a breakthrough for a 1-0 win. I'd like to think that we had them under equal pressure of a different kind 🧠

Couldn't be prouder of the team for their deserved silver medal win 🥈

No weekly recap again this week, the cup final has taken up most of my working attention this last week or two!

Catching up after a week off is not easy!

I've not recapped the last couple of weeks, simply because I've had so much brilliant work on, it has been difficult to pause and post!

It has to be the highlight of the last couple of weeks, if not the season... So far
The 3rd team continued our brilliant season so far by coming back to beat Bristol 2s in the cup semi-final - already an historic achievement for the club

Delighted to welcome Maddison-Grace to Thrive Sport Psychology! 

Maddie will be offering additional capacity for 1-1 sessions and group workshops as well as providing a different perspective on sport psychology to myself.

👋Hi, I’m Maddie - a Trainee Sport Psychologist (SEPiT) working as an associate of Thrive Sport Psychology.

My professional journey began in 2018 at the University of Portsmouth, where I completed both my BSc and MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology, graduating in 2022. Since then, I have been training with the British Psychological Society towards qualification as a Chartered Sport Psychologist.

Since graduating, I have gained experience working across both team and individual sports, supporting athletes in a range of performance environments. I am currently working as a Trainee Sport Psychologist and Player Care Lead at Eastbourne Borough FC, alongside my role with Thrive Sport Psychology.

My approach is person-centred and evidence-based, grounded in the belief that effective sport psychology support is built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where athletes feel heard and supported as individuals. 

I am based in South Devon and East Sussex, and work across both regions, offering support in person and online.

Maddie is available to book sessions with on the website now!

Super excited to work with you Maddie! Looking forward to you supporting clients, and working on other future projects together, welcome!
