In this episode, he describes to Dr Paul Mansell and Dr Katie Sparks about how he focuses to perform well in a sport that demands precision and control. This includes the need for automaticity from his training, attention towards the process rather than the outcome, and the need to reflect on performance in an adaptive way.
