Depression in sport: Dr Victor Thompson on BBC Radio 5 Live
After I published yesterday's post by our performance psychologist Dr Victor Thompson, he dropped me a line in the evening to let me know that he was due to broadcast from the BBC Radio 5 Live studio later, discussing the issue of depression in sport with presenter Eleanor Oldroyd, former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan and Chairman of the Management Committee of the Professional Footballers' Association. Clarke Carlisle.
I listened, and found the programme really interesting. But in case you missed it, below is a link to the podcast - the programme started at 9.30pm and Victor's involvement began at 10.

Blog for Victory
Hi, I'm Nell Mead. I'm a former Army physiotherapist and I specialise in sports medicine and back pain. This is my blog, where I write about issues that are on my mind. Some of these are about issues that are specific to particular injuries or medical conditions but I will also be updating you on events occurring inside Victory and in the wider world of medical rehabilitation. I also publish guest posts by Victory's other therapists whenever I can persuade them to sit still for long enough to write something!
When we're not writing, we're offering appointments at The Foundry in Liverpool Street. We'd love to see your comments on our posts - and we'd love to meet you even more, so do pop by and meet the team.
