Dr Slyvain Laborde is one of the leading sports psychologists in Germany, working at the German Sports University here in Cologne, as well as lecturing worldwide on HRV and Emotional Competencies. Furthermore; he’s a mate, who helped me immensely in my mental preparation for orchestral auditions.

The psychology behind elite level sport and classical music is strikingly similar; so Slyvain is on this week to give you the same tips and tangible tricks that he’s used with world class athletes and teams to enormous success. You’s are spoiled absolutely rotten here.
