We discuss a recent study which explores the use of AFT (Advanced Footwear Technology), or Super Shoes, during training and competition. The study describes the injuries sustained in amateur runners and we look at what that means for the integration of these shoes into training programmes. We review the racing from IRONMAN Australia and IRONMAN 70.3 St George at the weekend. Power posing is a concept largely popularized by Amy Cuddy, thanks to her viral TED talk and book, Presence, on the subject. The basic gist is that if we make ourselves feel large, like we are occupying more space–think Wonder Woman pose– then we'll feel more powerful. Steve Magness is a sport scientist and a track and field coach. He coaches competitors at all levels, including athletes who have competed in the World Championships and the Olympics. He is Head Cross Country coach at the University of Houston, a Lecturer of Strength and Conditioning at St. Mary's University, UK and author of three best-selling books, including the latest: The Passion Paradox. We share excerpts from The Sport Psych Show in which Steve Magness speaks about power posing in science and in practice; how feelings mediate an athlete's performance; challenge vs threat states; the brain/body connection; attention; and the result of failing to develop the psychological side.

Something a bit different for this 200th episode of The Sport Psych Show. This week I speak to Trevor Whyte. Trevor has worked in hospitals as a Respiratory Therapist since 2006 having spent time on the frontline, on various projects and in leadership. Dealing with airway management and critical care taught him the importance of high functioning teams for good outcomes. At the beginning of the pandemic Trevor was tasked with leading a team to set up and operate a mass testing site for COVID-19, quickly finding traction with his team. Trevor was given the opportunity to become an early mass vaccine site which delivered almost 170,000 vaccines. To manage the rapidly changing information and challenging conditions, Trevor worked to build a team mindset and framework that allowed the team to work in safe uncertainty and meet their goals under great pressure. Trevor has played and coached soccer and has been able to translate his experience in sports to help his healthcare teams find success in challenging and ever-changing conditions, such as a pandemic.

In the third episode of Season 2 I get to talk to Pathway Scientist at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) - Elliott Newell. Elliott's conversation with Dan Abrahams on The Sport Psych Show was the first time I had heard of the 'PIE' so you can largely credit Elliott with the title of the podcast.Elliott is a sport and performance scientist (BASES Accredited/Science Council Chartered) with specialism in psychological support. He works in high performance sport with a focus on talent development, and using talent development knowledge and strategies to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of performance pathways. He's a huge advocate of personal growth and development, and this is evident in our conversation. Elliott racks up a lot of miles collaborating with athletes, coaches and talent pathway coaches, traveling far and wide to connect the dots within his sphere of the high performance system - hence the title, 'sport psychology on the road'.This is part one of a two part conversation with Elliott, so look out for part two when it is out.You can find Elliott here:Elliott's Twitter:https://twitter.com/ElliottSportPsyEIS - Performance Pathway Learning Hub:https://pphub.eis2win.co.uk/landing

I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr Mustafa Sarkar and Clara Swedlund. Mustafa is Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. His background is in teaching and research with most of his research focusing on the psychology of sporting and performance excellence, specifically looking at resilience in high achievers in sport and business. Mustafa works with coaches and organisations helping them to develop resilience in athletes and teams. Clara is currently undertaking her Masters degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Loughborough University. Clara competes as a body builder and talks about how she applies the techniques she studies to her training and competitive mindset. She also runs a blog that documents her journey to becoming a qualified sport psychologist and on it, she wrote a blog post that was based on an article Mustafa had co-written about resilience which is why they've come together on the Sport Psych Show. We look at what resilience is; personality characteristics; the significance of environment; high challenge, high support environments; Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT) and psychological safety.
I'm joined by Great Britain Rowing Psychologist Dr Chris Shambrook. Chris is a veteran of 5 Olympic Games. He's worked with elite athletes in the most pressure-filled environments and so is the perfect person to tell the Sport Psych Show how the brain impacts learning and performance. In this episode Chris and I share notes on all things sport psychology including experiencing failure to increase success, using key words to change behaviours, and strength & conditioning for the mind.
