Let's Talk Possibility with Telana Simpson | Exploring what's possible

How studying sport can teach us about life: Rebroadcast Episode 14

Listen Later

When we hear of a sports hero who has broken a record, or our favourite team wins a world cup event, we get so excited. There is something about a person being able to perform at such a high level, that amazes us!

With Telana is Tim Goodenough, a Meta-Coach who specializes in working with Elite Athletes and sports teams, and who wrote the book 'In the Zone with South Africas Sports Heros' with co-author Michael Cooper. And Jody Martins, who’s also a Meta- Coach and who has been coaching cricket for over a decade.

Tim interviewed 17 of South Africa’s top athletes and analysed their mental skills, looking for what supported them to achieve such high levels of performance.

  • Who were some of those athletes? (Graeme Smith, Jonty Rhodes, Penny Heyns, Nass Botha)
  • What makes one athlete great and another merely good?
  • How can athletes perform at the top of their game and do so consistently?
  • Is it really all in the mind?
  • And how can these principles be applied in business and life in general?

    • [This is a rebroadcast of the episode 14 from November 2011]
