About this episode

In episode #171 of the Demystifying Mental Toughness, former Professional Australian Rugby League player and now an inspiring speaker and personal trainer,David Lindsaytalks to me about ways you can improve your vitality to improve your chances of success. We also touch on Mental Toughness in a Professional Rugby League as well as discussing the psychological side to martial arts.

Key Learning Points:

When you are smaller than others learning to play to and improve your strengths is important. “The mental game beats the physical game every day.” You can control yourself not your opponent, so don’t waste time focusing too much on them. Mental Toughness in a Rugby League setting is all about your ability to keep moving forwards despite pressures that exist. A bigger picture mentality without too much emotion is necessary to perform at the peak of your powers. To psych yourself up, consider energising music or rituals like the All Blacks “Haka.” Visualisation and self-talk are other useful tools to improve your energy and intensity levels. Ensuring you look after yourself with adequate rest and recovery is essential to raise your vitality.
