But as one of the league's most experienced players, she admits even she found life difficult in her early years to reveal that football was her passion. In our latest episode, the centre-half who led Matt Beard's team to back-to-back titles in 2013 & 2014 tells all about those incredible achievements during her first spell at the club and why her return in 2022 wasn't based purely on emotion. We'll also discover the truth behind a training ground 50-50 with Luis Suarez, what life is like living with a fellow professional sportsperson and which teammate she would confide in first when times get tough.

We've made it to the other side of Hell Week and Tom and Bekki have a lot to say about Racing's most recent results, formation changes, and the coaching conundrum. People are starting to call for Coach Kim to get sacked now that the team is on a 10-game winless streak, but what do Tom and Bekki think? There's also a surprising amount of religious and plant-based analogies just to keep things extra interesting. Believe me, we didn't expect it either.Support the show
We are continuing with our mini-series Like A Pro. Today, we hear from Gemma Bonner, a defender for Racing Louisville FC. Gemma has learned firsthand the importance of self-care, recovery and rest. As a professional athlete, these things are critical to maintaining top performance—though they ring true for everyday life, as well. To kick off the conversation, Gemma shares that the older she gets, the more important a ritual of self-care has become in her life. She has learned that self-care can be beneficial in different ways, both mentally and physically. It's so easy to get caught up in our external world and forget the simple task of looking after ourselves. It can be as simple as making sure you are getting enough sleep and putting good fuel into your body. Gemma reveals her practical approaches to self-care. First and most importantly, she ensures that she gets enough sleep—at least 8 hours every night. To help with sleep and relaxation, she often turns to meditation. She also drinks plenty of water and stays hydrated to avoid fatigue and brain fog. She has recently taken up the commitment of yoga, which has helped her performance and mental health. She admits that she finds self-care easier to practice when she is on her training schedule in the U.S. compared to back home in England. For those struggling with time, she offers advice on getting started. It's important for Gemma to find a balance between her life, work and socializing. Our society reinforces the message of hustle culture, especially for women. Gemma has learned that she doesn't necessarily have to push herself to the extreme in one area, when there are so many other areas she could improve in. This might include something as simple as reading a book to help mental toughness. If there is anyone listening who feels they need permission to give themselves a break, this is your sign. Pushing beyond your limits can actually be more harmful than good. Finally, Gemma participates in a lightning question round so that listeners can get to know her a little better. Hear about her bedtime routine, mood boosting music and her favorite thing to do in Louisville. Baptist Health's services and expertise help keep Racing Louisville FC in top condition while they compete at the highest levels of the sport.
