Summary: In this episode, we’re joined by Ana Lameiras, a mindset coach, sports psychology advisor, and mentor with a deep understanding of the pressures young athletes face—especially from her dual perspective as both a practitioner and mother of two football players. Ana reflects on the emotional and psychological development athletes undergo while navigating identity, academic stress, and media scrutiny.

From the unique challenges of female footballers to the importance of authenticity, Ana emphasises empowering athletes not just to perform, but to truly understand and care for themselves beyond the pitch.
