Episode 4 - Mastering the Mind: Exploring the Psychology Behind Performance

58 minutes

In this episode of Mind Set Go, we dive deep into the fascinating world of sports psychology, breaking down complex concepts to help you optimise performance and resilience.

Join me, PhD student Daniel Osen, as we explore:

The HPA axis and its role in stress and recovery.

How meta-thoughts and the triangle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviour influence performance.

The power of memory and focusing on just two key elements for optimal results.

Understanding cumulative stress and why rest and quality sleep are essential for mental clarity.

Cognitive re-interpretation: Why missing a penalty doesn’t define you, and how sweating before a keynote might be a sign of meaningful nerves.

Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or someone striving for high performance, this episode provides science-backed insights and practical tips to help you thrive under pressure.

Tune in and discover how to harness your mind to achieve greatness!
