Newcastle Redbulls pre-season in Austria 🇦🇹
The difference in elite sport is often how an athlete responds to, and recovers from high intensity, high stress and highly challenging physical & psychological moments.
The opportunity is to create an environment where athletes can learn to thrive under stress , enjoy it, & make better decisions.
This comes from creating new patterns of response through repeated exposure to the sport specific stress. And can also be trained by mimicking the internal environment through breath heart rate, & chemistry so that what initially feels highly challenging becomes a more familiar physiological and biochemical state. Not only creating unconscious safety for the nervous system under pressure but a new unconscious pattern. A learnt capacity to enjoy, embrace & thrive as these conditions no longer become novel.
I believe this is often the difference between excellent and world class performance.
