Olympic gold medal heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill explains how she has dealt with criticism during her elite sporting career and how it helped her to become a better athlete.
"I think most athletes would say that they are their biggest critic." says Ennis, who collected her Olympic gold at London 2012 and is also a three-time world champion.
"I look back on my career and I was so harsh on myself. I felt that was the way I could keep motivating myself and pushing myself forward."
