In today’s short bite sized episode, I chat with Dr Jim Afremow, the co-author of The Leaders Mind.  Jim shares with you his thoughts about the field of sport psychology to improve your understanding on what we can offer as practitioners.  He also touches on the crossover-between supporting people with performance issues as well as mental health concerns, working with youngsters and the fact mental skills, as is the case with mental toughness can be learned with good support and guidance.

Key Takeaways include:

  • Without taking care of your mental health, you’ll find it difficult to perform at your best consistently.
  • Too many people leave their mindset to chance, sports psychology bridges this gap with proactive support.
  • Many people believe that you’re either born with confidence or you’re not which is incorrect.  Mental skills training can help you improve your confidence levels. be developed and improved upon.
