In today’s episode we look at working with the subconscious mind to improve self-awareness, overcome self-doubt and reduce your chances of choking when performing.  My guest, Mental Performance Coach, Brandon Epstein shares his wisdom and gives you some ideas and strategies to keep moving forwards.

Key Learning Points:

  • Our subconscious mind can be programmed to help us win or lose.
  • A lot of people are unconsciously incompetent, they lack self-awareness and don’t live in the present moment.
  • Self-awareness is crucial to be able to grow and overcome performance plateaus.
  • Start by asking yourself the question – how does my emotional experience start?
  • A lot of athletes crave the feeling of confidence when they perform – it is possible to experience this when working with the subconscious.
  • Self-hypnosis can help you reprogram patterns of behaviour that you repeat.
  • Understanding your limiting beliefs and changing them is a helpful approach.
  • By being proactive and using psychological skills training you can give yourself a better chance of thriving under pressure.

    How Do I Go About Controlling The Controllables To Help My Sport Performance?

    How Do I Go About Controlling The Controllables To Help My Sport Performance

    How Do I Go About Controlling The Controllables To Help My Sport Performance?

    By working with David Charlton, you and your organisation will be better equipped to rise to modern day challenges and better informed to thrive on and off the pitch, course or court.  Where he inspires individuals and teams to:

    • Cope with pressure and challenges more effectively
    • Maintain positive mental health
    • 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. 

    In this short solo episode, I discuss an important component of Mental Toughness – control.  In sport, business and in everyday life it can be very easy to get distracted by external factors that are out of your control.  I go on to use Andy Murray’s gutsy recent performances at the Australian Open Tennis tournament to illustrate my points sharing an exercise to help you better understand how to go about controlling the controllables and be able to set yourself process goals.

    Key Learnings

    • What factors could Andy Murray control in his tennis match against Roberto Bautista Agut?
    • Here are some examples; how he placed his focus, his attitude, tactics, body language, self talk, his pre-serve routines and communication with his team and spectators.
    • What factors were outside of Andy Murray’s control?
    • His opponent’s tactics, fitness and conditioning, skill level and decision making, scheduling of the match, temperature/weather conditions and umpire calls.
    • Make success all about the things inside your control and set process goals as a result.

In today’s climate, during the Coronavirus pandemic this quality is becoming more and more valuable to individuals, teams and organisations. 

      In this short solo episode, I answer a popular question that we get asked by sporting parents – how do I help my children deal with strong emotions?

      When playing sport, children’s lives are littered with challenges and difficulties including; being dropped from squads or teams, losing form or skills, being injured and the recovery period, selection bias, being bullied, being played out of position, and dealing with making mistakes and losing, as well as many more.   I go on to share 7 suggestions for parents that you may find helpful. 

      Key Learnings

      1. Think about what you want to say. 
      2. Find a quiet moment. 
      3. Find out what they know. 
      4. Share your feelings with your child.
      5. Tell the truth. 
      6. Say “I don’t know.”
      7. Take good care of yourself
