      Hi, Yes, I must admit although I love watching sport, I am always thinking about the psychology of sport when I am watching it: “what are they thinking now?” or “why does he look so calm” or “what technique is he using to keep focused” etc.
      The Tour de France starts soon and I will be thinking about psychology a lot then too.

      i do yes, when you do something you really enjoy you never really switch off. I’m always thinking about what is affecting the athletes.
