Welcome to Marnie Merrilees, High Performance PsychologistPodcast @MarnieMerrilees. Where we discuss psychology and psychological skills for high performance.

In this episode, my special guest Jamie Bates discusses his kickboxing journey from childhood to his goal of becoming world champion.

Jamie starts the discussion by reflecting on his recent kickboxing fight Hadia vs Bates on June 29th at Rome Sports Palace. We discuss the highs and lows of Jamies professional kickboxing career; What it takes to come back from injury; Work life balance; Relationships inside and outside of sport; Fatherhood and much more! We also talk about the psychology of high performance and give insight into some of the psychological techniques we used to help Jamie mentally prepare for his most recent fight after being out of the ring for 18 months.

It’s a discussion I am sure you will enjoy and find extremely informative. Jamie gives great behind the scenes insights into the world of competitive kickboxing which you would only gain access to by being part of the life long journey of competitive kickboxing as Jamie has.

Jamie is very open and honest and the information Jamie shares will be invaluable to fellow kickboxers and fighters alike wanting to work their way up the ranks. Jamies story truly is a journey of dedication, commitment, hard work and resilience… Dream Big and Go Make it Happen!

Meanwhile, put any questions you have in the comments section and as always, thank you for your interest in high performance psychology!

I am proud to say Jamie Bates is part of my team of sponsored professional athletes! Jamie is the most talented kickboxer in the North East of England, with an impressive professional record of 27-8. Ranked 5th in the welterweight world rankings, number 1 in the UK in K1, and in the Glory top ten, Jamie is without a doubt a standout athlete! We have been working together on the psychology of high performance, and I must say Jamie's dedication and commitment to the sport are unparalleled. Currently signed with Glory, the world’s premier kickboxing league, we are confident that Jamie's future holds great promise, and we have no doubt he will be a World Champion very soon.
