Today we’re joined by performance psychologist Dr. Paul Mansell, whose passion for understanding the mental side of sport began at just 11 years old—during his own district football trials, where the pressure of performance first sparked his curiosity in sports psychology.

In this episode, we dive into Dr. Mansell’s research, publications, and upcoming projects, exploring how mindset, resilience, and focus shape athletic success. Plus, you’ll pick up a few practical tips you can start applying to your own life—whether you’re an athlete or simply aiming to perform at your best.
