At the highest level of sport, playing not to lose means you lose most of the time. Important to focus on wanting to win by setting your intention on what you want to happen, and not on what you don’t want to happen 🧠⚽️ #FIFAWorldCup bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cy8m4p…

Great to chat with Alex Grundon on @BBCBerkshire this morning about the importance of everyone in a team feeling psychologically safe to share their perspectives, and only with different viewpoints can we then create a platform for learning and improvement #FIFAWorldCup @BBCSport

Had a fantastic evening last week at the @CheltSciFest discussing How to Win the World Cup with @Kit_Yates_Maths and Dr Ian Graham. Great to have a really engaged audience asking lots of questions about data and the mental factors that can help or harm your chances of winning!

Interested in the mentality and behaviours that separate Olympic gold medal winning from Olympic non-gold medal winning coaches? And if so, how we can help swimming coaches to increase their chances of becoming the best in the world? Check out: ukcoaching.org/getmedia/b744…
