Professor Matt Slater and Dr Paul Mansell welcomed Dr Martin Turner back to Staffordshire University to tap into his extensive knowledge on wellbeing and performance under pressure. Author of phenomenally detailed book 'The Rational Practitioner', Martin has made a significant contribution to the field of sport psychology through his high quality publications on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). In this episode, Martin explains the premise of REBT and how it can influence the thoughts, feelings and behaviours of individuals as they strive towards their athletic goals. Martin has also contributed heavily to the topic of challenge and threat appraisals and we discuss how he uses this in his practice. Learn more about your ad choices.
