Professor Lew Hardy: The Psychology of Elite Performance

A candid chat with Professor Lew Hardy, who trained as a British mountain guide but went on to help set up the Institute for the Psychology of Elite Performance at Bangor University. He worked on research projects with Royal Marines, England’s cricket team, Olympians and countless other groups. Lew shares insights into what drives high achievers and how we might realise our potential. We chat about self-belief, resilience, what can help us make good decisions even under pressure and why some folk can seemingly handle risk better than others.
