In the podcast we look at how sport can create pressure situations for players. We focus on:
- Return of crowds to matches
- Penalty taker pressures
- Olympics glory
A common theme running through each area is the ‘level of mental prep’ and mental skill what if’s work being done by coaches with their athletes and we explore the role that coaches should play in that …and how ‘Red2Blue’ and associated tools can help.
The podcast looks at:
- Technically players are superb at the sport they are in but pressure situations change that
- How do we create these pressure situations to practice?
- Return of crowds to men's and women's game
- Players trying to hard and choking at the critical moment
- Men's and women's football teams missing penalties
- How youth players react to pressure
- Cricket collapses, golfer yips, and Olympic glory
- What Red2Blue can do to help players cope with pressure situations in sport
