About Tommy Jackson
Hi I am the creator of Sportswink. A sports content platform that helps athletes get better at sports. My interest in sports started when I was involved in training and fitness. I studied how athletes get better physically and mentally. Over time I have looked at training principles and sports psychology methods that are used in football, fitness and athletic development. At Sportswink I want to give athletes information that they can use right away. I do not want to give them hope or quick fixes. Every article I write is based on training concepts that athletes can use at home or when they are getting ready for a competition. I follow trusted people in sports science, coaching and athlete development. This helps me make sure the information I share is correct and relevant. I look at what's happening in the USA, UK and Europe to stay up to date with modern training practices. My goal with Sportswink is to make good sports knowledge easy to understand and available to everyone. I want to help beginners and serious athletes get better at sports one step at a time. Sportswink is based on one idea: if you want to get better at sports you need to work have the right mindset and train smart. Sportswink is, about helping athletes with this.
