The life of an elite athlete is stressful. Talent and hard work will get in the game, but it’s resilience that keeps you at the top. Do you have the mental strength to bounce back from setbacks? Can you cope with the criticism and expectation? It’s not about manning up and shutting out your emotions, it’s about understanding your thought process and devising a strategy for dealing with failure. That’s exactly what Asmir Begovic has managed to do across a 16-year career that shows no signs of slowing down.

July 15, 2021 Chris Ramsey | How To Develop Young Players
Only 180 of the 1.5 million boys who play organised youth football in England will become a Premier League pro. That’s a success rate of 0.012 per cent. Developing a talented youngster into a competent pro is incredibly difficult, but few coaches have a better record for maximising potential than Chris Ramsey. During this conversation, QPR’s technical director, discusses the mistakes made by mini-Mourinho's, how to prepare an academy player for their first-team debut and the valuable lessons he learned as a community coach.

Whether you’re a Sunday League clogger or a Champions League winner, you need to master the art of paying attention.

March 25, 2021 How To Handle Hate
During this episode we'll be exploring hate. It’s the emotion that creates and fuels rivalries, produces atmospheres where some professional athletes excel and others deflate like a day-old balloon. In fact, it can either sharpen or destroy focus in any walk of life. You’ll be hearing from elite athletes about how THEY handle hate and we’ll be using their experiences to help you manage hate in your life.
