Sport psychology – inside the mind of champion athletes: Martin Hagger at TEDxPerth



TEDx Talks

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.

  2. I became one with blessings of Apollo Greek God and winded the winner of winners and my son nodded yes to the NFL by 2045. Ha-ha Zeussss

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  7. 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”.

  8. The media talk winners,. The million dollar, business ,,,, kids trained, ballet, sport, and Einterteinment
    Abuse, and never won,. Handicapped, non-educational, no jobs, or low paid. Talk are not interesting

    As elites, is short term, lose, is more regularly
    This. Over human,. As Greek tragic,. Blood all over, and public cherish the lion, killed a horse, and man, I. The arena

  9. India was playing against Pakistan in Worldcup and the Indian team was over confident and said that they will win. One of their former player asked the Pakistani team to pull out as they will get defeated again. Pakistan not only outplayed them but they won that game like champions. They didn’t give a single chance for Indians to overtake their mindset. It was amazing to see that match.

  10. This really isn’t rocket science. He could’ve easily said an athlete must have confidence no matter. Every example was kinda the same. Theirs much more to it. There’s so much more to it that’s left out. He could’ve used anything. His argument doesn’t just support sports psychology. He’s really just talking bout psychology in general but used sport examples…..

  11. I don't know why not many people in the comment show appreciation to this. This is worth listening to. I mean, I'm not an athlete or anything, but this gave me insights on others areas in my life.

    That's worth watching

    And for the people who are only criticizing, he's on a TEDx and a subject matter expert, what are you doing other than criticizing? Put your ego on hold and start learning…
