We take a deep look at the reasons why we as humans are designed to just work much better when we have a clear set and defined objective, we look at how we create those objectives in such a way as to optimise our unique characteristics, we understand the importance of not only putting key people around us, also the kinds of people they need to be and we work out what type of archetype you are and why that's important if you truly do want to be a champion.

And all due to our inability to stay on track. And as Athletes, it’s that time of year too, or at least it’s...

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...

Your gauge on success is as individual as your fingerprint:
Episode #54:
We all strive animalistic-ally to be successful, it’s part of our survival instinct, our social standing and our unique identity and we are just as primally quick to judge others on their perceived successes - but do you really know what success is and how to create it and nurture it? Humans are a pack animal and so some of us instinctively strive to be at the top of that pack whereas other just talk a good game and some are happy to assimilate.
Sport is founded on those same primal animal instincts, being the most successful is how we gauge a champion, someone who did something better more times than the rest of the herd! Yet we intuitively know little about what constitutes a real success, let alone how to replicate it.
In this episode (#54) we look at what, why and how we use success smarter.
