You MUST get up at 4am to be a SUCCESS
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.
If you were to get up at 4am every morning, never had a day off and dedicated your life to one cause or goal would you be fully effective?
David Charlton goes on to discuss how working hard means different things to different people. How overworking can equal poor decision making. He goes on to share the importance of self-care and being proactive about taking breaks to help people maintain perspective.
Key Learning Points:
- Commitment is a big factor in being mentally tough though has its downsides.
- Motivational quotes, short videos and reels created by influencers can be very unhelpful and can be taken out of context by some people lessening their chances of reaching their goals.
- As a sport psychologist you can be equally effective supporting athletes and coaches working in their sporting environment as you can away from it.
- If you’d like to take David up on the offer of hiking a hill in the Lake District and discussing how you can improve your chances of success feel free to email [email protected]
