I am looking for a sport psychologist, ideally someone who has worked with elite athletes, or high performance athletes, where periodization, recovery, and the psychological management of performance are key. The interview would be for the opening chapter of a book about wellness and burnout written for a university press with a corporate/general audience in mind. The interview would generally focus on the concept of planned recovery as a performance input rather than a sign of weakness, exploring how athletes normalize rest in a way that corporate culture hasn't yet absorbed.
