Caroline Atwood Part 1: Overcoming Fear

For the first time ever on Hold Fast we are joined by a new co-host, Dr Tim Herzog, a sports psychologist and clinical psychiatrist to improve our focus on athlete mental health and psychological performance.  Caroline Atwood takes us through her journey through three different Olympic class sailboats and three different teammates before the Nacra17 sailboat that would be her official bid for the Tokyo Olympics. Along the way we tackle issues of teamwork, anxiety, even PTSD with Dr. Tim Herzog.

For a couple weeks every four years sailors in the Olympic games light up our hearts with stories of triumph and determination. Yet the larger part of their stories happen in the years of training and preparation in between each Olympics. The Hold Fast Podcast hosted by Nathan Housberg showcases United States sailors with Olympic experience or aspirations as they share the parts of their journey that don't typically make it to press.
