This was extremely helpful

[@deldridg]

Thank you for sharing this - very interesting. If I may make one point, the idea that we have a "potential" ("Maximise our Potential") seems to have serious issues. Do we draw from a finite well that defines whether we're capable of making it or not? Are we somehow genetically limited to a preset threshold? Modern neuroscience tells us otherwise. No doubt in sports there are physical limitations but even those can be overcome - short basketballers etc. Anyway - just my 2 cents worth. Cheers and thanks - Dave

[@charlieboscoe957]

Thanks for the message - you raise an interesting point. I personally believe that we do have a preset threshold in both our physical and mental capabilities. BUT most of us operate well below those thresholds and can always find a way to get closer to them, as well as discovering ways to work around them. Just my opinion!

Only 5k.. Crazy..

[@neelimayadav7713]

this information is almost no where, where exactly did he study applied sports psychology?? what is the name of the university? bachelors as well as masters?

[@jamesgrieve188]

Developmental psychologist. Then specialising in sports psychology later in his career. I would assume. Psychologists correct me if I’m wrong.

[@CastleHassall]

dude, he has a long career of coaching top sports people.. he thought of a lot of what he teaches through actually thinking..i think you're looking at this skew wif.. he's not a "psychologist" he DOES sports psychology coaching.. you know, maybe listen to what he says to get the idea of what he does and who he's coached
