The Neuropsychology of Performance Under Pressure | Dr Philip Hopley | TEDxMoorgate

In sport, there is a fine line between success and defeat - what makes a winner? Philip Hopley gives you insight to how top players in sport cope with short term stress and perform well under difficult circumstances. Additionally, in the modern world, our natural fight or flight response is often maladaptive and we need to find ways to combat this. Listen and find out how.
Phil Hopley is a Consultant Psychiatrist and MD of Cognacity, leaders in the application of neuropsychology to sustainable high performance in elite sport and business. He is passionate about coaching people, teams and organisations to be the best they can be.
Why you should listen - The world is not actually the world as we see it. Our brains are natural story tellers. We seek meaning in everything we experience. Managing Mind Traps (the automatic tendency to distort our perceptions) is the key to optimising wellbeing and enhancing performance in this non stop digital era.

This is a good talk.. However I've never participated in team sport's.. Wrestling was my escape, it's the oldest sport known to man. I was always smaller than my opponents and usually lest talented. I started to study successful wrestlers, not their skills or technical ability. I studied their body language and their ability to not really care about winning or losing.. It was a eye opening experience for me. After I realized what I was doing was fun and not as serious as my coaching staff made it seem.. Something drastically changed.. I stopped caring about winning.. I stopped being so serious. After this realization I became untouchable, and quit wrestling. My coach was a useless, manipulative joke who lived vicariously through his high school- teenage students. Short and sweet.. Don't be that guy or gal who takes things to serious. Have fun, know you are better than your opponent, smile, and constantly remind yourself that you are doing this for YOURSELF.. NOT YOUR COACH, PARENTS, FRIENDS..remember this and you will also be untouchable.

Thank God for the colour demo. My wife is always laughing at me because I perceive colours that differ from her perception. I showed her this demo and she laughed out loudly.

This men is crazy performance under pressure shyness is based on too much abuse and based rather on fear and unability to impact the reality

Oh man, i would have loved it if this wasn’t about sports.. I can’t stand sports talk.. like who cares. A bunch of people running around for no reason chasing a rubber ball.. wonderful exercise but not something to be rewarded with millions and televisions coverage.. waste of time in the long run!
