In sport, everyone is striving for an edge and, as physical preparation and skill level even out, mental performance is the deciding factor. We are always told that the mind is 70, 80 and 90% of performance outcome and yet we are given very little training in this area. Psychology coaches are reserved for the top tier of professional athletes. We are privileged to have Gary on the show and we hope everyone can take something away from this discussion and consider more resources - I'm thoroughly recommending Dr Hermansson's book, 'Going Mental in Sport'.
