- Compete with confidence more often
- Manage your emotions better
- Improve your commitments levels
David is a Mental Toughness Practitioner, as well as a Health Care and Professions Council (HCPC) Registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist. He has successfully supported athletes, teams and organisations for over 10 years in order to ensure that they perform at their maximum more often.
He has a comprehensive knowledge around the development of Mental Toughness, a plastic personality trait, which determines or limits people to deal effectively with change, challenges and stressors. In today’s climate, during the Coronavirus pandemic this quality is becoming more and more valuable to individuals, teams and organisations.
Key Learning Points:
· The conversation highlights the broader issue of youth sports participation and the need for a supportive coaching culture.
· Develop standardised behaviour routines for young athletes, focusing on the attributes of their favourite players (e.g., work rate, commitment, shooting of Ronaldo).
· Ask the athlete questions to understand their perspective on what behaviours mean to them personally (eg. work rate and commitment). Often a coaches’ or parents’ interpretation can be very different.
· Focus on solutions to help young footballers and athletes manage their emotions effectively.
