With regards to physical performance and recovery, I've always been a strong believer small things and attention to detail make a big difference.

“Perform Better have helped me with this with the vast amount of recovery and training products they have available. A personal favourite of mine is the PB Mini Bands which I use almost daily pre-sessions to activate muscles and strengthen weaker muscles to help prevent injury. The staff behind the Perform Better brand are super friendly and knowledgeable and have really helped me get the best out of myself as an athlete.”

Perform Better Director, Mark Gladwin said: “Perform Better specialise in Elite Sport and who better to represent this than Shona McCallin, an Olympic Gold Medallist. We are privileged to work with Shona, and have enjoyed being part of her recovery in 2018, we hope Perform Better can assist Shona in achieving her PB in her career.

“Perform Better have identified women’s sport as a key area of growth over the coming years, and we are very keen to support female athletes in reaching the top of their game, Shona is an important part of this for us.”
