What's The Go with Mental Performance in Competition (MPC)? 

To answer today's MINDSET related question, we chat with Surfing Australia’s Performance Psychologist, Tom Greer-Smith.

Tom has worked with athletes from state to national levels, whilst also with high-performing business leaders and executives in the corporate world. In particular, Tom’s expertise is in worry and perfectionism experienced in performance settings.

In this episode, we discuss the Mental Performance in Competition framework within sports psychology. Tom explains exactly what the approach involves, how he implements it with some of Surfing Australia’s athletes, whilst also general tips and strategies to manage stressful situations to perform at your best.
