Listen on

Episode notes

Do you welcome challenges and see them as an opportunity to learn? Or do you rarely adapt your routines and fall into the trap of making the same mistakes?

In order to make performance break throughs or simply perform at a more consistent level it’s important to see yourself as a “learner.”  To look in the mirror and assess the decisions that you are making.  To do so working on your mental game and seeking the support of a well qualified Sport Psychologist can hugely help you.  

Key Learning Points:

  • When evaluating your performances looking at things holistically, considering all angles (technical, tactical, social, lifestyle, physical and psychological) is essential.

  • The psychological side underpins all of the decisions that we make in each area.

  • How important is the psychological side for you to perform better, more consistently?

  • People often don’t work with a Sport Psychologist because they get comfortable working in certain ways, fear of the unknown or a lack of education on how we can help.
