EP63: Dr Phil Clarke (Sport Psychologist)

Dr Phil Clarke is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Derby and a HCPC registered sport psychologist who has worked in over 30 different sports. Phil joined hosts Dr Paul Mansell and Jason Wright to discuss performance under pressure through the lens of his research and applied practice. Much of Phil's published work has centred around 'choking under pressure' and 'the yips'. Phil explains the factors that can predict the breakdown of skilled performance and how we may negate those issues. We discuss the role of self-compassion and grounding techniques in performance, the need to add pressure in training, and effective practice when working with teams and individuals.
