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.

BITG Episode #74:
Athletes, when is the right time to improve, to perform or to recover?
In this the 74th episode of Brain in the Game, the mental coaching podcast, we take a deep look at the typical yearly cycle, most athletes traditionally follow.
- The Pre-Season,
- The start of season,
- The mid to end of season and
- The much-awaited Post-season.
We uncover the hidden mental and emotional minefield, athletes unknowingly put themselves through every year and we unpack what is often “willingly” done to self-sabotage the season and kill the momentum - all in the name of preparation, results and balance.
Despite all this doom and gloom, we will also, of course, outline what we can and should be doing to both optimise and build momentum as well as create a sustainable (and realistic) growth mindset over a full season and even into our offseason.
So sit back, relax and be prepared to have a mind (and behaviour) altering peak inside the brain of an optimised elite athlete.
