Hey! Thanks for joining me.

My name is Lucy and welcome to my blog!

 

I'm a CrossFit trainer, aspiring CrossFit athlete, and MSc graduate in Sport psychology.

​

I graduated from Loughborough University in 2017 with a First Class Honours in Sport and Exercise Science, and continued to study for my Masters degree, graduating in 2019. Before starting my MSc, I qualified as a personal trainer, and took a job at a local commercial gym which marked the start of my coaching experience. 

​

As cliched as it is, sport has always been a huge part of my identity. It's all I've ever been consistently interested in. I was sporty as a child, that typical 'on every school team' type; my sporting journey has graduated through gymnastics to swimming to hockey and now to CrossFit. The commonality across these sports has been my desire to succeed in them. I have always wanted to be good at whatever I do: "If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing well". 

​

Train and Thought encompasses everything that this blog will be; posts ranging from my interest in psychology, to all things training and physiology. Or at least that is the current plan! I've recently discovered that, for me, writing is a therapeutic process and allows me to make sense of things. It might be that I invite you with me on a brain fart of some recent thoughts, or try to educate and bridge the gap between science and the general public.

​

No matter the topic, I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Help me out on this new endeavour - let me know your feedback. I can't wait to start!
