How do ELITE athletes deal with PRESSURE?! Watts Occurring FEMMES
This week on Watts Occurring Femmes, Emma and Manon talk about dealing with the pressures that come with being an elite athlete. They discuss some of the most high pressure moments they’ve faced in their careers and how manifesting helps them to cope.
There's clearly no guidebook for dealing with pressure - but Emma and Manon have excellent perspectives on how they've dealt with it across their respective careers. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
And, speaking of pressure... Emma is off to the Track World Championships next week! We'll have a big preview of that next time out. See you then!

Pogacar doing Pogacar things and Luke's padel adventures | Watts Occurring
Yes, it's another week, another pod, and Tadej Pogacar has won another massive bike race. Solo. Of course he has.
This time it was the European Championships, a week on from winning the Worlds, and you do have to question: this Slovenian lad is pretty good, isn't he? Luke and G certainly think so.
There's also, of course, Luke's updated padel chat, a look ahead to Il Lombardia (yes, Pog is going for his fifth straight win and no, that's not a typo), and we have some ROUVY news.
