How to error check a string for numbers?

So I have an input
name = input('Please enter your name:\n', 's');
How can I error check so that a user cannot enter any numbers for it?

If I enter 7 as an input, it should ask the user to enter a valid name

This gives me an error now if I enter a name but it gives me a go if I enter a number. I need it to do the opposite.
