Inside the Winning Team
In today's fast-moving world, the teams that thrive are the ones that are connected, psychologically safe, and built for trust, performance, and well-being.

Playing the Big Points
How elite performers think, choose, and execute when the pressure is on.
In tennis, two or three points decide most matches. In business, a handful of moments — the pitch, the call, the negotiation, the boardroom decision — define a quarter, a deal, or a year. The skill that separates elite performers from the rest isn't talent. It's the ability to recognise the big points when they arrive, and to execute when others freeze.
Drawing on his work with Andy Murray and Team Murray, Premier League footballers, world heavyweight boxers, and Olympic athletes, Roberto reveals what elite performers actually do in those decisive moments. This is a practical, research-backed keynote on decision-making under pressure — combining performance psychology, the neuroscience of choking, and the routines that allow champions to sink to the level of their training rather than rise to the occasion.
- What "big points" look like in business — and why most leaders fail to recognise them in time
- The pre-performance routines elite athletes use to stay clear-headed when the stakes are highest
- The neuroscience of choking, freezing, and fast recovery — and how to train yourself out of it
- How Andy Murray learned to win the points that mattered most — and what changed
- "If–Then" planning: the simple decision-making tool that removes hesitation under pressure
- How to build calm, composure, and clarity into your team's culture before the moment arrives
Ideal for: Sales and bid teams, fund managers and investment professionals, senior leaders making high-stakes decisions, and any team whose performance is judged on the big moments.
