Guest: Dr Melody Kong, Clinical Psychologist, Cheah Sin Eu, Sports, Exercise & Performance Psychologist
Last month, the increasingly popular fitness racing event Hyrox made headlines, but not necessarily for the best reason. An elite athlete competing in Hyrox Beijing had soiled herself during a race but continued competing. Her response to that was saying “go hard or go home … a win is a win” on her Instagram. She’s since deleted it and later apologised for her actions, saying that there’s “more to life than racing”. But that begs the question: what do we expect from elite athletes and does being ‘resilient’ mean pushing through anything and everything? We speak to clinical psychologist Dr Melody Kong and sports, exercise & performance psychologist Cheah Sin Eu.
