Our latest guest on the Bishopbriggs Academy PE department podcast is BBC Ski Sunday Presenter and Olympic Snowboarder Jenny Jones. Jenny was a fun, enthusiastic and informative guest who provided us with a great insight to her career to date. She told us about her time at school and childhood memories as well as her unexpected journey into professional snowboarding. Jenny also commented on a range of career highlights from Winter X-Games Gold to that memorable run in Sochi that saw her win Bronze for Team GB. Additionally, Jenny explained the physical and mental demands of what is required from an Olympic Medal Athlete. She gave insight on her physical training regime as well as her work with a sports psychologist and described the mental approaches that she used to develop her performance to an elite level. A must watch for any pupil studying National 5 or Higher PE. Finally, a big thank you to Jenny for giving up her time and joining us on this weeks Bishy PE podcast.
