Description

In this episode I'm joined by Hull City FC goalkeeper Matt Ingram. Matty speaks about how his mindset has changed throughout his career and shares the invaluable knowledge he has learned about how his mind operates under the pressures of League Football. We discuss the changes he has made and how learning to challenge the stories your mind tells you can help you bridge the gap between your mind and reality.

We discuss:

• How the mind creates its own stories and why they aren't always necessarily true
• Why enjoyment is the biggest driver of performance
• The self-fulfilling prophecy and reliving mistakes over and over again
• Why you're responsible for your own happiness
• The dangers of social media and working out who's opinion matters
• What makes professional footballers vulnerable
• Why self-awareness is the first step to creating a high-performance mindset
• Feeding on positive feedback and using it to your advantage
• Why reality tells you that you deserve the opportunities you gain

Matty was one of my role models growing up at Wycombe and has made huge improvements in his game through training his mind. If there's one episode that will show you how mindset can improve your game for the better, this is it.
