224 How To Help Professional Rugby Players Perform Better Under Pressure

Описание: In episode #224 of Demystifying Mental Toughness, I share part of a conversation with Aaron Walsh a Mental Performance Coach with many Elite Professional Rugby Players. We discuss whether elite professional rugby union players view mental toughness as something that they can develop, our role as Sports Psychology practitioners in measuring performance as well as coaches influence in the development of psychological characteristics and skills.

Key Learning Points:
Educating people in sport on the integration of Sports Psychology and Mental Skills is very important.

Creativity is essential to thrive as a Sports Psychology Practitioner or Mental Performance Coach.

Measuring the impact of our work as a practitioner is vital when working in a team setting.

Many players hate Mondays after a poor performance where they are often shamed in front of others or video footage is taken and critiqued in an unhelpful manner.
