vincent Season 1 Episode 161

Tracy is skilled and passionate sports coach and trainer with an impressive background and  a long experience of managing multiple sports-programs. Knowledgeable in all aspects of physical ability development and mental performance coaching. She has extensive certifications in Pilates, Personal Training, Bungee Physio, Barre Instructor, Ariel Sling Instructor, Corrective Exercise, Sports Massage, Sports Mental Coach, Coach for SEN Children. Tracy currently has two businesses CHI’s Therapy operating since 2019 and Bungee Physio HK operating since 2023.

 In the podcast Tracy tells her story of a serious back injury, so bad it was hard for her to stand. Her doctors recommended surgery. Tracy found Pilates and after just 3 months she felt much better and after 1 year she was back to playing volleyball. She underwent training as a Pilates Instructor and in 2019 she opened her own studio. Tracy continued to do training in a wide range of subjects including sports psychology and in 2023 she opened her second studio Bungee Physio HK.

 Tracy shares client stories in the podcast that emphasise that coaching is not just physical coaching. For her there needs to be a balance between the physical and the mental aspects of coaching. Understanding client’s problems at the mental level is as important as the physical level. Tracy believes clients need to be more active and to get more awareness of their bodies. The body gives signals, we need to listen to our bodies and not to move only once we have an injury.
