Sport psychology - inside the mind of champion athletes: Martin Hagger at TEDxPerth

[@sitnok3820]

He gave a TedTalk on the basic sports psychology which I learn at gcse and a level. Shows how much the field has progressed in 12 years as this was once the in depth sports psychology analysis and now this is just surface level.

[@_MTZ-82.1]

Привет! Расскажи где ты учился ? На кого ? Ты удивил своим комментарием, что спортивная психология развивается настолько быстро , что уже много другой новой ценной информации..

[@scottseymour793]

Honestly thought it was a good talk. Very refreshing to hear. As a college athlete, sometimes I forget the simple mental aspect of success.

[@chadmckeighan5871]

Did you ever utilize vision boards?

[@SPORTSCIENCEps]

Everything is in our mind.

[@DrDu-zc4eg]

- These skills are easy to forget and require practice the same way physical skills of sport require practice! Reminders are essential! Not sure if you are still competing but I hope you were able to achieve some of what you set out to. 🙌🏾

[@chekoisowned]

@@chadmckeighan5871 I use to think these boards were simply crungecheesy for some reason

[@ShaikhMohammedYunus]

nowadays people find happiness in criticizing people on internet....this is the new form of achieving self esteem.....great development i see....

[@SheilaMakena]

Shaikh Mohammed Yunus I certainly agree. Let's see any one of the critics attempt to make any kind of real speech to 100 people, let alone a TEDTalk!

[@GodCee360]

well said

[@daemn2754]

+Shaikh Mohammed Yunus You nailed it. That topic would be an interesting Ted talk, why people waste their time criticizing instead of doing something useful.

[@KenichiXiz]

+Shaikh Mohammed Yunus I agree sir. However, what about constructive criticism...? Is the premise to listening as well as to agree proportional to listening and also disagreeing? I think it'll will be best to see comments on KZbin as 'just' reflecting an individuals implicit feedback as opposed to their outwardly or explicit feedback. Either way, I don't think an accurate measure of self-esteem can be solely gauged on an individuals KZbin feedback. No?

[@SheilaMakena]

Absolutely! You've made some very solid points. I am pretty sure this presenter looked at this recording of himself and knows exactly what he did wrong. Not everyone who wants to present a TED Talk gets to. That, and I am very doubtful that 99% of the people here have ever stood on a podium to give a speech, and if so, it was on a pretty rare occasion. Your insight is well received though.

[@BaddieSaddie]

Studying this for my sports psychology exam tomorrow. Good work. May god bless him.

[@mikesmith-qu7zu]

The fundamental success of every athlete in any given discipline is defined by proper application of psychological factores. It is a very interesting topic, one which has many various outcomes & variables that determine success. For me probably the most important factors are both improving ones understanding of both opposition & also dealing with psychological barriers that may prevent success, as well as preparation. They're other factors but I personally find these extremely important.

[@DrDu-zc4eg]

- You bring up some great points. The definition of success and the factors that contribute to it are defined individually and is unique to each person or athlete, and you gave us your take on what that means for you. When you mention psychological barriers, I think more about what might be happening for an athlete outside of their sport and how do they successfully cope with those psychological challenges. Many factors involved fasho though!!

[@parisjoy7875]

This comment is 10 years old but 100% 🎯

[@NourLababidi]

Thank you. Some people mentioned that this video doesn't tell us anything new. I disagree, this video reminds you with what we naturally know which is the make sense and that is why you think it's not new. This is a reminder to enjoy and live the moment while doing sports. So go tomorrow and try to apply keeping your mind in the activity. you will come back and thanks him

[@patrickmorgan4006]

That's not what the title says it's about.

[@fcchannel6162]

what i learned was this from playing basketball i lossed i score like 2 or 3 point in a game but the whole time in that game i found my weak spots i went online found a denfinsive drills and did it everyday i think the mindset is to find where you did wrong and work on it like kobe said you got to look at your weakness and fix it

[@blublover]

facts

[@bunnyman6321]

You still play basketball?

[@rubeanesam654]

Sports psychology broken down nicely.. good explanation under 12:00mins with vivid examples

[@aymenjammali9764]

I don't know why not many people in the comment show appreciation to this. This is worth listening to. I mean, I'm not an athlete or anything, but this gave me insights on others areas in my life. That's worth watching And for the people who are only criticizing, he's on a TEDx and a subject matter expert, what are you doing other than criticizing? Put your ego on hold and start learning...

[@_MTZ-82.1]

Все правильно!

[@muhammadhuzaifa1940]

I know my country isn't in the conditions that I can play for my country internationally. But for my juniors I will say for sport the biggest thing is that don't think you lose now. Until the last second has been ended. It isn't words it is the truth. Courageous people rule the world rather than talented. Because you overcome anything through your brave mindset. I am playing in Pakistan for my city's club that is Karachi. My first 50 games isn't good. 50 games just 8 goals and 3 assists. I started playing for the club at the age of 16. Now I am 20. Make yourself A BIG GAME PLAYER means ready yourself for the champion at any second of the time. Today I have played 164 games scored 90 goals.82 goals in last 114 games. And 46 assists. Won 3 titles and have 2 times best player of the City. This season i have played 41 games and scored 36 goals with 9 assists. My best players are Ronaldo Ibrahimovic and none others than Messi.

So cool that the two different contrasting styles can be equally as effective. Phelps is pure baller.

[@mathewsunmonu7804]

Good day Prof. I am so impressed with this video and it inspired me more to have deep interest in this our noble profession. Am a Phd student in Nigeria studying sports psychology. I always enjoy your video clips and wish to have yo as my mentor sir

[@_MTZ-82.1]

Круто ! В каком университете вы устоитесь? В Нигерии спортивная психология востребованна ?

[@emilyheil7614]

I am a D1 student athlete who will be creating a channel telling of my struggles with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and relationships. I want others to know they aren't alone and hopefully I can help through things I still struggle with. You're not alone. We aren't alone.

[@GreggyAnhVNeck]

Emily Heil have you made that channel yet?

[@thatcrazyxoxo]

this is an awesome idea! I am in the same boat. I think there are many who feel the same

[@Movieswod-v9f]

Yeah

[@Bigshaq04]

Hi Emily, if you can see this, I see you made the channel but no videos, I hope you come around to share your story

[@inasiman26yearsago56]

have you made any videos?

[@mentonerodominicano]

"And I'm not talking about catwalk modeling here" Nobody laughed...

[@MikeLemelle]

😂😂

[@iwantlee9510]

The mental aspect is indeed the hardest part about sports. Pushing yourself physically is no biggie in comparison. Dealing with pressure from an organisation who constantly reminds you that they have invested a lot of money and resources in you is what broke me. I badly needed a sports psychologist.

[@badmintonvideos7562]

Relatable🥲

[@Malitubee]

Did you play professionally?

[@arjunanogara]

Thank you Martin, quite an insightful and deep talk being shared, hopefully able to be understood by the general public to increase the popularity of exercise and competitive sports. Undoubtedly leaving powerful lessons and impacts towards minds of young athletes like myself which could use what has been stated into training and in real - time sports events to achieve maximal performance and produce the best results competing on a local and international level, not only but this talk has also engraved a deeper understanding of the life and mental and physical preparation in the minds of athlete or as well as for other people that are curious to know more.

[@Summer-ie7ty]

And this ladies and gentleman was my professor this semester and we all almost failed his class. That is all.

[@joshuaamberson5266]

Care to elaborate more on the matter?

[@karunakaran2057]

people find happiness in criticizing people on internet this is a new form of achieving self esteem .self esteem is the people’s self belief in them achieved through their will power

[@npjm.99]

This can also be applied to daily life of anyone in any field

[@ThaCodFathers]

Rip this guy. Anxiety sucks, but thats the key of performance psychology

[@kaavyasurianarayanan8247]

Wow.. so so beautifully put!! In sports, the mind plays an equal, or even more important role than physical abilities of the athlete.. it is so intriguing to find out what happens in an athlete's mind.. 😍😍

[@spartan20005]

The video seems perfectly interesting and does a well enough job of keeping my attention. I don't understand how you people can't bother 12 minutes or so to learn a new item of info.

[@patrickmorgan4006]

There was nothing new and what was there could have been presented in 2 minutes.

[@e-volution]

It starts at 5:33 :)

[@nandosfanaccount]

jean-francois lefebvre thanks

[@dunewalks5988]

Thanks

[@eskimoeoneski]

Hmmmm his pockets? wow, didn't even notice. To a lot of real athletes these are basics. But it's important to review even the basics once in a while. It's surprising how many people will claim they know this info but never really use it. Specific goals that lead up to winning. You would be surprised how many people don't make them and more importantly how many people are just not honest with themselves when it comes to really reaching for it. Basics yes, still good info.

[@luarloe1592]

The difference between an elite boxer and an average boxer, is that the elite sharpens the basics every day.

[@AgentJ2007]

Raul Roel exactly, their basic fundamental is stronger than the rest. Sure, they got advance tricks and all of it built on the foundation of basics. It’s the same in other sports as well.

[@goldennguyen8271]

The nitty-gritty of Sport Psychology begins at 5:00

[@beth3471]

Perfect. Plainly stated. Encouraging and doable. Love it.

[@norbertherriott9761]

Video was useful as a foundation for Sports Psychology. You have to take this basic information and apply it to the: Athlete, Sport, Situation and Environment. The video is helpful if looked at from that perspective.

[@GoBeyondSports]

So true! Our channel is all about the idea of figuring out what goes behind the mind of individuals who play sports and how it helps them grow in other aspects of their life. And how others can benefit from it.

[@os-t-oprod3657]

Great work. Thank you Martin !!

[@callumbrowns]

Thank you for this video I know sports take a lot of physical activity but mental is important too!

[@sahillathia4432]

Sport psychology is a science that draws on knowledge from many related fields including biomechanics, physiology, kinesiology and psychology. It involves the study of how psychological factors affect performance and how participation in sport and exercise affect psychological and physical factors. Proper instruction and training of psychological skills for performance improvement, applied sport psychology may include work with athletes, coaches, and parents regarding injury, rehabilitation, communication, team building, and career transitions. Performance routines, Imagery or Self-talk are most used techniques that psychologists teach to athletes for improving their performance. i.e.- Michael Phelps (an American former competitive swimmer and the most decorated Olympian of all time) listens music before any competition which helps him to focus.

[@r7ivens480]

é incrível como passa anos e anos as pessoas continuam confundindo motivação com inspiração é por esse esse detalhe que deixam passar que a motivação é tão danificada durante anos, o que ele quis falar no lugar de motivação seria inspiração, a motivação é um motivo para ação, um motivo para que você continue sendo uma pessoa disciplinado e resili ente até chegar ao seu objetivo, muitas pessoas que tem doenças cardíacas por exemplos começam a cuidar de sua saúde por causa da motivação ( um motivo para ação, que é a doença cardíaca, isso é o motivo ) e quando percebem que se curaram elas param, pois o motivo que é (morrer por parada cardíaca já n lhe causam mais efeito) de resto o vídeo é incrível

[@richarddzurek6147]

I love the way he rocks the suit

[@hglatGAIA]

Succinctly put, thank you. It was helpful to hear this.

[@nivedvarma123]

Perhaps psychology is all about PERHAPS...

[@makeishaglowaski6661]

i know that this is super late but this is so good for young athletes like me, this helped so so so much. This is great for in my future t think about this is awesome thankyou.

Hello. What do you feel is the biggest Athletic performance edge?

[@Harisankar-ce2vd]

*Error :-* Brazil were *not* the defending Olympic champions in 2012, Argentina won the 2008 Olympics. Brazil won their first Olympics gold in 2016.

[@LanceWinslow]

Wow, I must say, I AGREE with EVERYTHING you said. Works for me.

[@eduardoalfredocasanovalope991]

There's a huge difference between knowing and doing it unconsciously or consciously. The latter takes practice, the former is just about memory ;)

[@mikesmith-qu7zu]

Great video thanks to the uploaders .

So relevant to Leicester's season. I hope they win the league title at Old Trafford.

[@BlackIrons45]

[@SPORTSCIENCEps]

Good luck!

[@jarenhulce4147]

same here lol

[@salander3795]

Worl Cup final 2014 Germany Brazil 7:1 I think there had to be a huge psychological impact on the brazil side, sayig this with respect for them and as a fan of the german national team. But david Luiz, Cesar, Oscar Marcelo... come on such fantastic football players and 7 goals? We weren't so much better than brazil!

[@paladro]

given the prevalence of PED's at the highest levels of all sport, amateur and pro, psychology is important, but so is chemistry. ))

[@rezaabasali9975]

Physical plus mental preparation = positive outcome Phelps and Bolt for example..

[@Knightlore10]

When talking about performance anxiety, I would exclude all team sport examples. Solo participant sports are the pinnacle of anxiety management when it’s ALL on you. Golf, tennis, snooker spring to mind. These are not about maximum physical performance and there are no hiding places.

Does Episoketren System really work? I notice many people keep on talking about Episoketren System. But I'm uncertain if it's good enough to improve your soccer technique.

[@SPORTSCIENCEps]

Thank you for uploading it!

[@arsalan_musharraf]

India was playing against Pakistan in Worldcup and the Indian team was over confident and said that they will win. One of their former player asked the Pakistani team to pull out as they will get defeated again. Pakistan not only outplayed them but they won that game like champions. They didn’t give a single chance for Indians to overtake their mindset. It was amazing to see that match.

[@iElliottician]

Thank you

[@useryoutube8901]

MARTIN HAGGER: this is an extremely awesome talk you've given. It's both a motivation and a great piece of wisdom. Also, try to ignore those who maybe don't do sports thus didn't benefit form this and therefore give negative criticism; only listen to positive criticism. For me, this is a very important talk. It's a good thing you presented it. Thank you.

[@spencerberg8809]

Positive Criticism? You just created an oxymoron.

[@aannamaaiya]

I would like to know more, what he meant by 'prompts' whilst talking about visualizing the performance?

Summary of this abysmal Tedx Talk about Sport Psychology from Inside the Mind of a Winner: 1. Mexicans are better at soccer than Brazilians 2. What are in his pockets? 3. Factors that are linked to success in sport: Motivation, Confidence, Performance Knowledge, Routines, Anxiety Management 4. For motivation, set a SMARTER goal: Specific, Meaningful, Agreed, Relevant, Time-Specific, Engaging, Recorded 5. Improve confidence through experience, "modelling" (observation, imagery, self-talk), and feedback 6. Use imagery for mental preparation and rehearsal, especially useful for visualizing obstacles and barriers to overcome to be successful 7. Use self-talk for motivation, focusing, and calming oneself 8. There are numerous relaxation techniques for anxiety management: breathing, stretching, relaxing the muscles, listening to music, and meditation 9. Never found what was in his pockets...

[@erkangunay8704]

So impressed! Thank you

[@carlosandrademeier]

1. Work towards single goal, maybe in round way 2. Learn how to develop 100 percent of your physical and mental strength its way way easier said than done, maybe round 1 in 1 million chance to succeed just look at elite athletes amounts.

[@again5162]

I fully developed my muscle strength by 17 I did 80 push ups and 80 sit ups most nights. I'm short and stout and more suited to Worlds Strongest men.

[@flipptheclipp9068]

Messi is a natural born talent. His skill is just from another planet, on the other hand Cristiano's character is out of this world too. As the topic is what goes inside the heads of those athletes, Ronaldo should be the example.

[@masatokawabata3932]

Hi Martin, I enjoyed your talk very much. You looked really nice. Awesome!

One wrong information: Brazil wasn't the reigning Oympic champion against Mexico in 2013. In fact, Brazil has never won the Olympic football medal until 2016.
