Description

In this episode I'm joined by Ex-Pro Charlie Horlock who represented Wycombe Wanderers FC. Chaz has experienced lots of wins and losses on his football journey and gives us unique insight into how sport psychology and mindset training can help goalkeepers get that extra 2% they need. 

We discuss:

• How to deal with the pressure of trials
• Why Top Field in Hitchin is better than Wembley
• Being present and making the most of opportunities
• Reality testing – how we can challenge negative beliefs and pressure through simple questions
• How shorter goalkeepers can benefit from the growth mindset
• Why adversity and setbacks can be a huge positive
• Insight into working with a sport psychologist as a young goalkeeper
• Perception – how mindset changes when you view the world different
• Why good people are better than good goalkeepers in the training environment
• Having a pro contract taken away a minute before his meeting
• Stories and insights into our time together at Stevenage FC and Wycombe Wanderers FC

This episode cuts deep on mindset and has lots of lessons for coaches and goalkeepers alike. Chaz is one of the most psychologically informed goalkeepers around and many could learn a lot from the way he views the game.

Chaz is a great example of how mindset training and sport psychology can give you 2% over other players. Make sure you listen to this episode because the messages strike a chord.
