[68] Rod Corban | Performance Psychologist, Olympic & Paralympic High Performance, Sport New Zealand,

Today we welcome back the highly celebrated and brilliant Performance Psychologist Rod Corban. Rod is the Director at RMC Performance Psychology and a Senior Psychologist with High-Performance Sport New Zealand. With over 30 years of experience as an academic in the field of psychology, and 20 years working in high performance sport New Zealand – Rod truly embodies the balance of theory and practice. He helps people to understand how their brain works and why change is hard, but not impossible. During this episode he provides many tanigble takeaways and insights (that had me going 'ohh' quite often). Having attended multiple Olympic and Paralympic Games, working with sports such as rowing, cycling, hockey, netball, cricket and more, Rod is well-versed in the realm of elite performance. With great opportunity comes great pressure, and he is the person you want in your corner to support whatever pursuit you’re endeavoring in. He specializes in athlete and coach support, with an interest in brain injury and its impact not only on the individual but those around them.
