Martin Hagger is Professor of Psychology at Curtin University. His areas of expertise are social, health, sport and exercise psychology. He is involved in numerous research projects nationally and internationally with a focus on motivation and behaviour change. He is currently leading projects in drugs in sport, promoting physical activity and healthy diet, understanding the mechanisms of willpower and self-control, and reducing binge drinking and the prevalence of smoking.
At the highest level, athletes are well-matched in terms of their physical abilities, conditioning, and skill level. But often that is not enough to win and perform on the biggest of stages like the Olympic games. Developing strategies and techniques to get athletes minds in the best possible condition for optimal performance is increasingly important for sports teams and coaches.
Martin will provide an overview of the kinds of techniques that elite athletes use to prepare psychologically for their sport, give details of the scientific research into these techniques and how they work, and how the techniques might be used by competitive athetes and coaches to maximise performance.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Thank you Martin, quite an insightful and deep talk being shared, hopefully able to be understood by the general public to increase the popularity of exercise and competitive sports. Undoubtedly leaving powerful lessons and impacts towards minds of young athletes like myself which could use what has been stated into training and in real – time sports events to achieve maximal performance and produce the best results competing on a local and international level, not only but this talk has also engraved a deeper understanding of the life and mental and physical preparation in the minds of athlete or as well as for other people that are curious to know more.

Perfect. Plainly stated. Encouraging and doable. Love it.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 KJV
Jesus lives
Jesus Christ is Lord
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:23
Jesus loves you repent
You're a sinner in need of a Savior
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV

If this is supposed to be a scientific talk, it lacks precision. If it’s opinion then fine
I object to Bolt being “less cerebral”! How can u measure how “cerebral” one is? How “cerebral” is the speaker?
When tennis great Vitas Gerulaitis finally beat Jim Connors in their seventeenth meeting, he was heard in a press interview saying: “No one beats Vitus Gerulaitis 17 times in a row”.
