Dr. Jamie Barker II

Managing life in a bubble

In this episode of the show, we welcome back Dr. Jamie Barker, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Loughborough University, to talk about the impact of bubbles and lockdown from a sporting perspective.

Recorded at the beginning of the IPL, Jamie helps us deep-dive into the impacts of isolation and life in a bubble. How do players cope? What are the potential physical and mental impacts of life in a bubble? And how does that affect our performance? Dr. Barker has some keen insights into how we can all manage our life in modern times, and how we can cope with lockdowns and still maximise our own performance and happiness. This is a great episode for everyone navigating our own lives and managing feelings of anxiety and stress.
