  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
My Alliance colleague Juan Coto has been working closely with tennis player Johanna Konta for over a year. As Johanna soars from one achievement to the next – as I write she has just played Angelique Kerber in the semi-finals of the Australian Open, the first female British player to get that far in over three […]

Flow, Stretch Goals and Cliff Top Paths: How to set yourself appropriate challenges

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 3 Comments
Flow, the classic book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on how to achieve happiness and enhance the quality of life, argues that nine conditions need to be in place for us to be able to have an enjoyable experience, one that gets us ‘in the zone’ or into a place of ‘flow’.

With weekends of stomping out 20-30km practice walks behind me, I’m personally looking forward to a few days of guilt-free plates of pasta and […]

Go for Gold: What the Olympics can teach us about achieving our goals

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
In advance of the Olympics, my outlook on them was rather cynical. I’m ashamed to say I thought they would be a costly shambles in which Team GB would underperform. Not particularly a sports fan, I even went to the extent of being out of the country when they kicked off. Fortunately, I returned while […]
