Hello,
What do Grand Slam tennis, Premier League football and boardroom leadership have in common? Pressure.
In my recent conversation on the Surfe podcast, I dive into the psychology behind elite performance and what high-performance teams consistently get right. We explore mindset under pressure, resilience, confidence, teamwork, and why the best performers are rarely the most talented – but often the most psychologically prepared.
If you are interested in performance psychology, leadership development, or building stronger teams, this episode goes deep into the science and the stories behind it.
We discuss:
- How I got into sports psychology and my first steps
- The teams I have worked with
- Dealing with no and rejection
- Why feedback is so important
- How we can apply these lessons to sales
It is an honest, energetic conversation full of lessons from 30 years working with Olympic champions, world title holders and senior leaders navigating serious pressure. I had an absolute blast speaking with Alex from Surfe – thank you for creating such a calm and inquisitive atmosphere where we could deep dive into so many interesting moments and pieces of my career history.
If you would like to understand the thinking behind high-performing teams and sustainable success, take a listen.
