Sport psychology meets psychoanalysis in this deep dive into the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT) — a powerful, yet underused projective tool developed from the legacy of the Rorschach and TAT. With the birth of the AAT, we open up the conversation on what truly lies beneath performance. Discover what happens when athletes narrate ambiguous images, and how this "Blade Runner" test for the soul might reveal more than expected. In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Professor Mark B. Andersen about the AAT and to explore its implication for sport psychology and how it could help athletes beyond their performance issues.Mark B. Andersen, PhD, is an adjunct professor at Halmstad University in Sweden. He lives in Australia and collaborates intercontinentally with his Swedish colleagues in the areas of research, training, and supervision in applied sport and exercise psychology. Andersen is a registered psychologist in Australia and is licensed to practice psychology in the United States. He is the former editor of the Professional Practice section of the international journal The Sport Psychologist. He has published 9 books, and more than 190 refereed journal articles and book chapters. He has made more than 100 national and international conference presentations, including 17 invited keynote addresses on four continents.As a Supervisor, he contributed to Dr. Petah Gibbs' PhD research study: Gibbs, P. M., Marchant, D. B., & Andersen, M. B. (2016). Development of a clinical sport projective assessment method: The Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health, 9(1), 33–48. https://doi.org/10.1080/2159676x.2016.1180637AbstractWithin the field of applied sport psychology, there is an increasing appreciation for diversity of training models, research methodologies, and therapeutic approaches. For example, psychodynamic formulations and interpretations have begun to appear more frequently in the sport psychology literature. In keeping with emerging psychodynamic viewpoints, we believe the time is right to introduce a qualitative sport-specific projective instrument: the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). The AAT represents a new technique based on psychodynamic theory and established projective test construction principles. It was designed primarily as a clinical tool for practitioners and not as an instrument for quantitative research into personality. It does, however, have potential research applications, especially in clinical sport case study research and narrative analysis investigations. The AAT produces an idiographic understanding of athletes' characteristics, anxieties, and motivations (both conscious and unconscious). We briefly review the literature on the development of projective techniques, explain the rationale underlying the development of the AAT, and present three sequential studies to explain the AAT image selection procedures that led to the final product.----- If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and blindness or if you would like to join in the Martial Attitude Training workshops now running in London every Sunday, please do keep in touch via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available HERE.

In this week's episode of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast #274, we focus in on the control and challenge measures from Professor Peter Clough's 4C's model of Mental Toughness.   David highlights how US tennis player Danielle Collins' managed fans heckling at the Australian Open to aid her performance.   Insightful guests, Sport Psychologists, World Champion Athletes and Olympians also offer tips: where they focus on self-care for perfectionists, emphasise why getting clarity on your "why" is important, stressing present-moment awareness and a lot more. Key Learning Points: ·         Incorporate self-care practices, such as taking breaks from screens, doing breathwork, or a gratitude practice to aid your emotional control. ·         Danielle Collins showed a degree of emotional control and a sense of humour to turn negative fan comments into motivation, rather than letting them affect her performance. ·         Many driven athletes can take things too seriously impacting their emotional control and ability to challenge themself. ·         Play the observation game to improve your awareness of behaviours that you carry out, focusing on your reactions, inadvertently the outcome can then be improved performance. ·         To help children in sort, parents should lead with love and care, avoiding pointing out flaws, focusing on positive reinforcement.

Join us for this week's episode as host Jay Stevens is joined by local hockey experts Mason Mannek and Bill McCloud. They discuss Utah Hockey's second period woes, their resilience, and how everything seems to be falling into place for the team. They then discuss the recent struggles of the Utah Grizzlies and their predicament. Renowned sport psychologist Dan Freigang then joins Jay to discuss a recent tweet by former NHL goaltender Robin Lehner, and the difficult conversations surrounding mental health in sports.

In episode #269 David addresses the question, “What Can I Expect When Working With A Sport Psychologist” for the final time as this episode marks the end of an 8 part series.  This time he focuses on the following statements “Performance Enhancement: The sports psychologist will help you identify and overcome mental barriers that may be hindering your performance” and “Feedback and Reflection: Expect regular discussions about your progress, experiences in training or competition, and adjustments to your mental training plan.”  David highlights that a high percentage of athletes who contact sports psychologists are reactive often acting on emotion seeking to deal with challenges they are going through.   Whilst proactive clients, especially top performing elite athletes, contact sports psychologists when they are in a good place, seeking continuous improvement and looking to embrace a marginal gains approach.  He concludes by encouraging listeners to reflect on their 2024 achievements, failures, and lessons learned, offering a blog post with additional questions for self-analysis so that you can make 2025 a great year. Key Learning Points One typical challenge athletes bring to sports psychologists, link to not performing at the level that they train at, which can be caused by the need for social approval, perfectionist tendencies, questionable culture and processes at a club or organisation, with fear then kicking in for the athlete. Sharing surprising statistics about elite athletes such as Harry Kane's goal scoring success rate and Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross accuracy can help perfectionists recognise how many times elite performers do actually miss or fail, forcing athletes to revisit their own expectations. He shares a case study of a proactive top cricketer who used detailed performance profiling to benchmark and measure progress, therefore challenging them to get out of their comfort zone. A skill of a sports psychologist is to ask athletes great questions so that they go on to assess how they can continually strive to improve their methods and performance levels.

In today's episode David explores the importance of confidentiality when working as a Sport Psychologist when supporting clients.   He discusses how various environments, such as cafes, public spaces, and formal meeting rooms, can impact a client's comfort and confidentiality.   He also emphasizes the need for tailored settings, considering factors like social anxiety, neurodiversity, and the client's familiarity with the space.   The episode also covers the ethical considerations in working with athletes, including transparency with coaches, the involvement of parents with young clients, and the use of well-known names.  David underlines the significance of confidentiality in building trust and facilitating effective behaviour change development. Key Learning Points: ·         Reminding yourself who is your client when you work as a Sport Psychologist is important especially in organisational settings or when supporting children. ·         Obtain written consent when using well-known names or client reviews for marketing purposes. ·         Establish clear processes when working with clients in an organisational setting. ·         When training to become a fully accredited sports psychologist the importance of maintaining ethical practices is covered in depth.

In episode #267 of Demystifying Mental Toughness, David discusses the role of a Sport Psychologist in helping coaches manage anxiety. He differentiates between state anxiety, which occurs in specific situations, and trait anxiety, a personality trait influenced by factors such as childhood, genetics, trauma and environment.   David goes on to share to insights to aid the understanding of coaches on the topic, with some solutions discussed too. Key Learning Points: ·       State anxiety can be managed through understanding triggers and subsequent thoughts, and behaviours. ·       Trait anxiety may require referrals to clinical or counselling psychologists. ·       Understanding and managing bodily experiences of anxiety, such as heart racing and tension, can help coaches navigate their emotions better. ·       Techniques associated with Self-Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness can help coaches stay present and manage their anxieties better.

Professor Sophia Jowett's has conducted a lot of research into understanding the interpersonal dynamics between coaches and athletes and is instrumental in raising awareness and changing attitudes around the reciprocity of the relationship and the importance of relational qualities including mutual trust, respect, appreciation, commitment, loyalty, co-operation and collaboration. In today's episode, part 4 of David's investigation into ChatGPT's and its response to the question “What Can I Expect When Working With A Sport Psychologist” he goes on to discuss supporting a coach who receives negative feedback from athletes or players.  The aim is to aid your understanding of applying psychological skills training (PST) techniques such as self- talk, relaxation and visualisation to improve the quality of the coach-athlete relationship, and in turn, positively impact both coaches' and athletes' performance and wellbeing.  There are connections between the points discussed and Jowett's work.  Enjoy tuning in! Key Learning Points: Coaches can benefit from being supported by Sport Psychologists too, not just athletes. As a coach understanding your own emotions and why they occur can benefit your relationships with athletes or players. When you experience negative emotions as a coach does your self-talk become judgemental? Instructional self-talk can benefit coaches to manage situations better. Allowing your self some space to breathe as a coach is useful and can help your behaviour management, as can improving your visualisation skills.

In this episode I speak with Bernadette Kellermann. Bernadette is a Sport Psychologist and PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh. Bernadette researches the Multi-Action Plan (MAP) Model and transitions between mental states in performance. The MAP Model is an action-focused, sport-specific intervention model that can be utilised to investigate and improve human performance. The Multi-Action Plan presents as an action-focused, sport-specific, mixed methods intervention model. We discuss two fascinating papers Bernadette has written about transitions between mental states within MAP along with Prof Dave Collins, Dr Alan MacPherson, and Dr Maurizio Bertollo. In addition to her performance psychology studies, Bernadette is a violinist, composer, and tutor having graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Today David starts the first of a series of episodes where he looks into ChatGPT's explanations about the field of sport psychology and adds further detail to help inform you.   ChatGPT states “working with a sport psychologist can offer a range of benefits and experiences. Here's what you might expect:  1. Assessment - Initial sessions often involve assessments to understand your mental skills, strengths, and areas for improvement.”  David goes on to add the following points to this explanation. Key Learning Points: When assessing a client needs it is important to consider a range of factors. One tool David uses is the Sport-Clinical Intake Protocol (SCIP) which helps practitioners gain extensive information about the client's life within and outside of their sport.  Factors that it takes into account include (1) the presenting problem, (2) life and athletic history, (3) social support, (4) health status, (5) important life events, (6) changes prior to the onset of the presenting problem, and (7) details of the presenting problem. David explains that quick fixes are not his preferred method and that to creating lasting change multiple sessions are required, varying in length and format depending on the client's needs and the sport.  He also highlights the importance of context and the flexibility required when working in team settings, such as football, cricket or rugby clubs, where interactions can be brief and informal on occasions.

Do you welcome challenges and see them as an opportunity to learn? Or do you rarely adapt your routines and fall into the trap of making the same mistakes? In order to make performance break throughs or simply perform at a more consistent level it's important to see yourself as a “learner.”  To look in the mirror and assess the decisions that you are making.  To do so working on your mental game and seeking the support of a well qualified Sport Psychologist can hugely help you.   Key Learning Points: When evaluating your performances looking at things holistically, considering all angles (technical, tactical, social, lifestyle, physical and psychological) is essential. The psychological side underpins all of the decisions that we make in each area. How important is the psychological side for you to perform better, more consistently? People often don't work with a Sport Psychologist because they get comfortable working in certain ways, fear of the unknown or a lack of education on how we can help.

Emma Raducanu is a great example of someone whose career was on an upward trajectory, after winning the US Open tennis championship in 2021, aged 18 years old.  Since then, her career has been dogged with setbacks and challenges.  At Wimbledon this year it was nice to see her perform near to her potential reaching the last 16.  Without knowing the detail of what has happened in Emma's world since her big breakthrough I discuss as a Sport Psychologist the types things we may look at to help athletes such as Emma to rekindle their love for the sport and navigate the challenges that inevitably occur.  You'll note in the episode people are complex and supporting athletes in this way can be multifaceted with their unique experiences, personality, environmental preferences, support network and culture of the sport shaping our support. Key Learning Points: When success arrives an athlete's personal identity can shift a great deal. High and rigid expectations can cause athletes challenges as they come to terms with success. Self-esteem and mental health challenges can occur for some athletes when they don't perform to the standards that they expect of themselves. Sports psychologist often use counselling style approaches to help athletes process difficult experiences and emotions associated with them. Clean language is a helpful too for practitioners to use during this process. Shifting expectations and talk of outcomes to small process goals can be beneficial for athletes to stay grounded and remain present. Visualisation can be a useful tool in rekindling thoughts and feelings associated with being in love with your sport.

A lot of golfers lack confidence and trust in their ability to execute shots and putts and shoot the scores that they are capable of.  As a result, they often cause themselves problems by the decisions that they make.  Common things I notice are over practicing, reactively practicing, an over reliance on YouTube coaching and a quick fix mentality.  On the course they are then guilty of overthinking, complicating the game with too many swing thoughts, trying to control their swing, temper tantrums and a lot more… In today's short bite-sized episode well renowned Performance Psychologist to many PGA tour players Gio Valiante talks about over-confident and cavalier golfers and the challenges that they can face. However, as most golfers or athletes who contact Sport Psychologists are bringing problems to overcome, David challenges you to learn some lessons from the overconfident golfer. Key Learning Points: An over-confident golfer is likely to take risks. Cavalier golfers will trust their technique and swing automatically with a quiet mind. Bodily tension and heart rate will be reduced in the over-confident golfers. For golfers lacking in confidence, you could recognise that your thoughts, moods, physiology, behaviours, and values are all interconnected, and that changing one, changes others, and ultimately could lead to better golf without changing your technique.

Eric suggests changing the term "visualization" to "sensorization" to perform at your best.      “When you look at the best performers in the world, they're focusing on a process and a recipe, and they double and triple down on being consistent and efficient with a process that chips away through segments, through time.”  -Eric Potterat    Get the episode transcript here!   Eric's Resources & Contact Info: Linkedin Learned Excellence: Mental Disciplines for Leading  Twitter Instagram Read my latest book!

In today's short BITE sized episode HCPC Registered Sport Psychologist, Michael Caulfield tells me about the challenges and pressures that elite professional football brings whether you are a manager or player.  He shares his thoughts on what mental toughness is in this environment as well as offering insights into his role as a Sport Psychologist when working with and supporting managers in the English Premier League. Key Learning Points: Rejection and dealing with losses can be uncomfortable yet is something that we all face. Mental toughness in elite professional football comes in two forms: off the pitch – and being able to deal with the scrutiny and immense criticism that will come your way.  On the pitch it is to have the courage to still want the ball when you or your team is having a difficult time. When working with big names being comfortable in your own skin is essential.
