In this episode we delve deep into sports psychology.. how much does the mind really impact our performance? The answer.. a LOT. We've seen countless examples of the best athletes in the world crumbling under pressure, and we've seen just as many athletes shine when the entire spotlight was on them.. so what's the difference? You'll find a lot of somewhat unbelievable anecdotes inside..

We had the privilege of hearing the epic story of how local Tassie boy Tim Jamieson made it to the pro's in Europe in the 80s, and how the rest of his journey unfolded from there..

Some of his highlights include:
- How he made it onto a pro team as an 18 yr old with no bike and no contacts in Europe
- The inside story of what life on a pro team was really like
- The highs and lows of his career
- Why he got to that level but then why he left the sport for a decade

And more importantly, he gave us some real gold information into the best psychological lessons he learned and how they've applied to the rest of life.

We enjoyed this episode so much it went for over an hour!

Enjoy the listen.
