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. 

The “Demystifying Mental Toughness” podcast episode #273, hosted by David Charlton, features insights from various team sports coaches and athletes, on commitment and confidence.  Key points include the importance of individual motivation in team sports, maintaining a balance in life, and the necessity of standing out in training and matches.  Guests emphasize the need for authenticity and surrounding oneself with positive influences, as well as many other great points.

Key Learning Points:

  • Prioritize your own performances and progress, saying no to activities that are incompatible with your development.
  • A combination of confidence and commitment characteristics can lead to optimistic and challenging goal-setting.
  • To overcome fear and procrastination you could chunk down, planning goals in small steps towards your larger goals.
  • Cultivate a brave and determined mindset when it comes to goal-setting, where failure is not an option.
