In our debut episode of "The Competitive Edge" we speak to Dr. Vanessa Wergin, a researcher at TUM’s Chair of Sport Psychology and an expert in team psychology and emotional regulation in team sports. Dr. Wergin speaks to us about collective team collapse, a phenomenon within competitive sport that can be perceived as an entire group failing together. We explore the psychology behind this sudden dip in performance within teams, and Dr. Wergin shares insights into how it happens and some tips on how we might be better prepared to combat it.
