We hear so many athletes say that the best performances are as much about mental strength as they are about fitness. In fact, one might also argue that it’s not just the mental strategy on race day but the way in which we organise our lives. 

Today’s guest, Dr. Josie Perry, is a chartered psychologist working with those in sport, on the stage, and in business to help them overcome their barriers to success so they can achieve their goals.

She certainly believes that behaviours and environment play a huge part in the best athlete performances. In fact, she has just written a book called “The 10 Pillars of Success” and we will be discussing these pillars today, along with how they relate to you the listener.

Topics include:

The importance of group training and a feeling of belonging

How your values shape your training and racing

Why the best athletes focus primarily on process and mastery rather than outcome

Gratitude and how it helps you maintain perspective

Pragmatic optimism and cultivated confidence

The roles of nature and nurture in building resilience
