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...

Do I fit the selectors mould or do I create my own style - hosted by Dave Diggle

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.

The Blame Game - hosted by Dave Diggle
Who's fault was it really?
Episode #69:
When things are going well and athletes are winning then people love to take the credit - however when things fall over those same people are very quick to play the “Blame Game”. "It wasn’t my fault, they didn’t give me the right information, I couldn’t do my job, they distracted me" etc etc etc…
The reality is when we descend into the Blame war then we are no longer in a position to move forward or grow. So blaming is counter productive to development and momentum.
In this episode, we are going to examine why people play the blame game and what we should be doing instead. So settle in and let's take an honest and clinical look at the “Blame game” slippery slope and strategies to avoid this unnecessary process.
