Brain in the Game - Sports Mind Coaching Podcast: Episode #68 - Do I fit the selectors mould or do I create my own style - hosted by Dave Diggle Who are you playing for? Episode #68: It’s an age old conundrum for elite and professional athletes, “do I change who I am and how I play to fit the mould of the selectors' current criteria OR do I back my own unique skills and become the player I know I can be?” And the answer isn’t ‘Immediately” that simple - surprisingly. In this episode of Brain in the Game, however, we will examine the pros and cons of each option and...

Self Belief is a System not a feeling - hosted by Dave Diggle
Brain In The Game Sport Mind Coaching Podcast
Episode #67: Believe it or not athletes more than most tend to suffer with low self esteem and low self belief, which sounds bizarre when you think just how cocky they can appear on the outside. That is until you understand the 24/7 scrutiny they are constantly under today as they are expected to be always “available”. Beyond their sporting performances where they are publicly judged, categorised and ranked, they are also open to constant assessment of their comments, their actions and their beliefs via social media. With the liberation of information accessibility that the internet and...

Rocket fuel or Kryptonite? - your choice.
Episode #50:
Our emotions are an integral part of our sporting and performance success strategy, when used correctly our emotions can be the rocket fuel that catapults our career to heights beyond our wildest dreams. However if handled badly they can be our own personal Kryptonite and completely derail or even crush our career beyond salvation. When most coaches focus on the obvious “Physical Skills” it is often this hidden internal dynamite that goes undetected until it goes “Boom”.
So why is this internal concoction of potent chemical so critical to our ability to perform? And why is it so hard to get it right?
In this episode of Brain in the Game we look at how this under appreciated and rarely trained skill-set is the make or break of your career and why no one else is telling you about it. So many athletes are impacted by performance anxiety and blame their ability to perform specific skills or set of skills in specific situation rather than understand the beast within. So settle in and crank up the volume as we uncover your emotional blueprint to success.
