The Olympics in Paris has recently finished and produced some remarkable performances from many different athletes. Yet for some this Olympics was underwhelming where they may have come away with many “what if” thoughts. In today’s short solo episode I discuss preparation for big events like the Olympics and the importance of a challenge mindset for you to perform well.

Key Learning Points:

Adopting a threat mindset will ensure that it is much harder for athletes to succeed in big events.
A threat mindset is when fear of failure, fear of not being perfect or fear of success can interrupt an athlete’s flow.
Mental preparation is key, where athletes should plan ahead and get clear on how they can help themselves get their mind and body ready to compete in the hours, days and weeks building up to big events or matches.
