Welcome to 30 Days of Mental Skills, where I'm breaking down the 9 core psychological skills of peak performers. Each day, I'm posting a new video discussing a key aspect, including Mindset, Motivation, Goal Setting, People Skills, Self-Talk, Mental Imagery, Managing Stress, Emotional Agility, and focus and attention. This material is adapted from my lectures on the Performance Psychology module, which I taught to undergraduate students. Be sure to check out Essential Mental Skills to find out more.The first thing to say is that you can't. Motivate yourself, that is. You cannot muster sufficient willpower to overcome the challenges that await you. Willpower has limits, it is a finute resource. You know this already, surely. Despite our best and honest intentions, most of us fail in our pursuit of goals. They say, don't do the weekly shopping when you're hungry, avoid social gatherings when you're off the drink, and don't go on holidays when you're in the middle of a fitness plan. It's all because these things are potential banana skins in the pursuit of goals. In moments of weakness, our best intentions let us down. There are other factors, of course, such as maybe we took too big a leap, or we didn't create the right environment, or we didn't have sufficient peer support. In other words, motivation is not something you can switch on and off.Motivation, just like other mental skills, is not a conscious faculty. Instead, you either have it or you don't, and it's either intrinsic or extrinsic. It's something we tap into once our goals are aligned with our values. I'll discuss this more in the next video, but for now, it's essential to know that motivation comes more easily when our goals are aligned with our values. Willpower, or self-regulation, comes into it too, but researchers seem to agree that it appears to be a finite resource. You can influence it, however, and you do so by building a support group around you, hiring a coach, and creating a structure that will help you succeed. That's where this material is headed.Here's an article on this topic;Essential Mental Skills Is Launching SoonThe Essential Mental Skills Course is launching soon. It is a structured introduction to mental skill development and contains lecture videos, slides, resources, a workbook, and kicks off with a live group Zoom orientation call.

Welcome to Day 4 of 30 Days of Mental Skills. Today I'm discussing Two Thinking Systems, or Dual-process Thinking. Dual Process Thinking is a fundamental concept that explains how our minds process information and make decisions through two distinct yet complimentary systems of mind. Understanding this concept of mind can help us develop the mental skills required for peak performance. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman proposed it in his groundbreaking work “Thinking, Fast and Slow.” This influential theory reveals the intricate workings of human cognition, providing crucial insights into how we handle everything from split-second choices to complex problem-solving in our daily lives.System OneSystem 1 represents our fast, intuitive, and automatic thinking processes. This system operates continuously in the background, requiring minimal cognitive effort and energy expenditure. It excels at quick pattern recognition, emotional processing, and handling routine tasks that we've mastered through repeated exposure and practice. When we recognize a friend's face in a crowd, instinctively brake while driving, or respond to immediate dangers, we're engaging System 1.System TwoSystem 2 embodies our slower, more deliberate thinking processes. This system handles complex calculations, logical reasoning, and careful decision-making. It's the mental mode we use to solve mathematical problems, analyse complex arguments, or make important life decisions. System 2 thinking requires focused attention and is characterised by methodical analysis rather than quick intuition.The analytical nature of System 2 allows us to engage in abstract thinking, consider hypothetical scenarios, and plan for the future. This system is particularly crucial for learning new skills, understanding complex concepts, and making decisions that require careful consideration of multiple factors.These two systems don't operate in isolation but rather in a continuous dance of interaction. System 1 generates quick impressions and intuitions, which System 2 can endorse or question. System 1 encounters uncertainty or complexity beyond its capabilities, so it calls upon System 2 for more detailed analysis. This interplay allows for efficient decision-making while maintaining the ability to engage in deeper analysis when necessary.Essential Mental Skills Is Launching SoonThe Essential Mental Skills Course is launching soon.

I teach my clients the psychological skills, not only of peak performance in work and sport, but of everyday living and wellbeing. These are skills for life, not just for material gain and worldly success. Material gain and worldly success come as a consequence of developing these skills, so if a better life circumstance eludes you, start with this. Every day for the next 30 days, I'll be bringing you a key aspect of these mental skills and explaining how you can develop them in yourself. They are fundamental to wellbeing and success in all fields of human endeavour, and the science of psychology has demonstrated this since the early 20th Century with the work of people like Norman Triplett and his study of elite cyclists (1898), and Robert Yerkes' work on stress and arousal (1908).The 9 Mental SkillsI recently wrote a lengthy article detailing the 9 Mental Skills. It breaks down the psychological and emotional components involved in peak human performance according to the highly respected psychologist, Dr Jack Lesyk. I have modified the terminology somewhat, but the core principles remain the same. Here is a brief introduction to the 9 Mental Skills;1. MindsetAt the core of the Mental Skills Model is Mindset. According to Carol Dweck, there are broadly speaking two types of mindset; fixed and growth. People with a fixed mindset believe that skills and abilities, personality and intelligence are fixed. You get what you have at birth and these remain largely unchanged throughout life. Those with growth oriented mindset believe these things can develop and grow, and that every failure is an opportunity.2. MotivationEd Deci, one of the founders of Self Determination Theory, says that motivation is “the energy for action. It's what gets us up in the morning and moves us through the day”. Intrinsic motivation os the most powerful, and connecting with this motivational force is key to doing our best work. Over the next 30 days, I'll explain how motivation works.3. Goal SettingSuccessful people set clear, realistic goals and hold themselves accountable, or they have others, such as coaches or peers, who help them with accountability. Goal-setting theory is foundational in its proposal for the attainment of goals, and highlights that specific, challenging goals enhance performance more than vague or easy ones. But beware; there is a dark side to goal setting.4. People SkillsRelationships shape performance, whether in a team, with a coach, or against an opponent, on the stage, in a business; our capacity to read ourselves and others effectively is an essential skill. These skills include communication, empathy, compromise, leadership, and cooperation and are central to team cohesion and success. I'll teach you about people skills.5. Thinking Skills (self-talk)How we talk to ourselves in the privacy of our own minds is a key factor in determining our behaviour. If you talk negatively to yourself, if you remind yourself of all the times you failed, you will be less inclined to take the action necessary to get you to where you want to be. Positive yet honest self-talk is vital. I'll show you how to develop this skill.6. Mental ImageryMental Imagery is a key skill in preparation for any event or occasion, and, in fact, for what we expect of tomorrow. It is the mental rehearsal required by performance, and requires the employment of all five physical senses. We rehearse every moment in the privacy of our own minds, so what are you rehearsing?7. Stress and Anxiety ManagementAccording to early studies, (Yerkes and Dodson, 1908), pressure and stress are not only a part of performance but are almost necessary. However, they become detrimental when they are out of our control. The goal isn't to eliminate anxiety, but to manage it effectively. Over the next 30 Days, I'll teach you the skills you need to manage anxiety.8. Emotional AgilityAccording to psychologist and author, Susan David, “Emotional Agility helps us to navigate life's twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind”. It aligns with Steven C. Hayes' concept of Acceptance & Commitment, in that accepting current conditions is the starting point for processing challenging life events. I'll teach you the skill of Emotional Agility.9. Focus & ConcentrationFinally, we have Focus and Concentration. This skills can be found wherever we are in what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called, Flow State. When we perceive that our skills and experience can meet the challenge, Flow will most likely arise. There are ways we can cultivate Flow and I will tech you these over the next 30 days.These are like mini-lectures, and they are free for your to access.

4 keynotes in a 24-hour period that included over 2,000 attendees, four client industries, across three states. That kind of sprint could leave most people feeling flat, fractured, and f'ing broken. At Performance Intelligence we up-skill elite athletes, sporting teams and people employed in high-stakes environments to perform in key moments, when it matters most – and last week was Andrew's turn to put these science-based tools (and a few decades of experience) into practice. "We don't rise to the occasion. We fall to our level of preparation."Shannon Frost (Podcast Producer) locked Andrew in the studio to try and understand how the process he followed could apply to her, and to our wider audience. In this episode Shannon and Andrew discuss:00:55 Building up to doing 4 presentations in 24 hours, an in-depth look at the 4 different keynotes and locations, and the 5 performance levers Andrew pulled to deliver at a high standard.7:05 This isn't a normal occurrence for Andrew and "there's periods during the year where you need to rise to the challenge" and the metrics (wearable tech) he uses to measure stress and recovery, especially during hectic periods.11:35 Does Andrew exercise because he enjoys it, or is he addicted to it? And does walking help increase physiological capacity?12:30 This 24 hour window was part of a bigger 4-week intensive block of presentations.16:55 Tapping into purpose to push through challenging/testing times, Andrew catching up with himself in the exhaustion aftermath, and a simple way to tap into your personal purpose.21:25 Andrew didn't find his purpose and clear identity until his 40s, the conversation Andrew and Shannon had that led to her studying counselling, and how she feels about the big shift in her life.27:40 How Andrew's support team helped him in the 4 presentations, and how the wizard set up for a virtual studio in a new space.31:05 The most important part of Andrew's support team: his partner Toni, the fighter pilot analogy of working as part of a team and how people without a support team can still use some digital tools to help them be more productive.34:00 How Andrew down regulated after the highs of each presentation, being strategic and recovering in waves, simple ways to micro dose recovery.40:15 The muscle memory that builds up after years of presenting, and still getting nervous after all of these years.46:40 Winging it can lead to being hit or miss, transitioning straight in to a 5th birthday party after the 24 hour block, and what Shannon can took away from the discussion.Listen to the podcast on HRV: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/65-the-science-of-heart-rate-variability-hrv-and-teaching-the-german-police-force-breathwork-and-how-to-regulate-stress-dr-marc-jarczok-with-dr-tom-buckley Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/Learn more about Andrew and Performance Intelligence: https://performanceintelligence.com/Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://performanceintelligence.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.

Does the perfect golf swing exist? NO.  Does the perfect golf swing equal lower scores in golf? NO – Yet many golfers continue to strive to attain the “perfect swing.”  This is the topic of conversation today, where David and colleague Colm O'Donoghue talk about the problem with this approach and the implications for your golf game.  They also share some advice on what you could consider doing to improve your scores and your enjoyment of the game.  Key Learning Points:  Studies suggest that the variation in technique between low handicap amateurs and professional golfers is similar.    Consider how you practice your golf, if you practice solely in a technical manner it is likely to tie you up in knots and show in your golf scores.  Split your practice into technical, performance, process and creative practice.  Do you ever consider how you can access a flow state and what a flow state is for you on the golf course?  Connect with David Charlton  Join David @ The Sports Psychology Hub  Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN  Podcast Episodes To Help Golfers Improve Their Scores  Ep017: Gio Valiante – How to Play Fearless Golf  Ep089: Will Shaw – How To Transfer Your Golfing Skills To The Course   Ep101: Compilation – 25 Mental Game Secrets to Improve Your Golf  Other Valuable Resources To Help Children, Young Golfers, Parents and Youth Sport Coaches  Youth Sports Psychology Library   Conversations With Kids Ideas  Frequently Asked Questions - Sport Psychology for Children and Parents  Resources To Support Golfers So That They Score Better  Frequently Asked Questions on Golf Psychology and Golf Mental Skills   Golf Psychology and Mental Skills for Golf Library  8 Better Ways to Practice to Your Golf  Do You Obsess over the Perfect Golf Swing?  Are You Missing Shots Before You've Started Your Swing

David Charlton hosts the Demystifying Mental Toughness podcast with his colleague and a fellow competitive amateur golfer, Colm O'Donoghue today.  Colm discusses his journey from playing golf as a child to returning to the sport in his mid-20s, driven by an interest in the psychological aspects of golf.  He shares his struggles with perfectionism and the importance of maintaining a present-focused mindset. Together they talk about a case study of a young golfer, who excels in match play but struggles with stroke play due to focusing too much on the score.  Colm and David emphasize the importance of a pre-shot routine in maintaining his focus and staying present, which can help manage his arousal levels, in turn, lowering his scores. Key Learning Points: ·        Trying to play perfect golf and focusing too much on the score can impact enjoyment of the sport. ·       Colm explains the difference between match play and stroke play, emphasizing the reset nature of match play and the need to focus on the process in stroke play. ·        Self-awareness is critical, recognising and being able to reset when you are ahead of yourself and predicting future holes, shots or score and identifying when you are stuck in the past, dwelling on mistakes.
