Mindset, Marathon, and Mastery: Jess Piasecki on Thriving Under Pressure

Mindset, Marathon, and Mastery: Jess Piasecki on Thriving Under Pressure

In this episode of The Mind Game, I speak with Dr. Jess Piasecki, Olympian marathon runner and Associate Professor of Female Physiology. Jess takes us through her incredible journey from playing hockey as a child to representing Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics, and balancing elite sport with an academic career.


We dive into her mental strategies for coping with the pressures of elite competition, how she finds joy in sport even after retiring from professional running, and the lessons she’s learned about resilience, preparation, and staying true to your values. Jess also shares insights from her work in the Female Athlete Development Program at Nottingham Trent University, helping the next generation of athletes thrive both mentally and physically.


Whether you’re an athlete, a professional looking to improve focus and resilience, or someone navigating high-pressure environments, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you master your mind and your game.



If you’re looking for 1:1 support to build confidence, manage anxiety, or enhance your performance—whether in sport or life—get in touch with me for a personalised session and start your journey to feeling calmer, more focused, and more like yourself.
