  • In this episode, I converse with Colchester United F.C. goalkeeper Tom Smith the significance of social support, self-regulation and psychological skills in improving football performance. We emphasize the role of social and family support networks, teammates, and coaches in providing a balanced psychological perspective to optimize performance.

    Additionally, we highlight the importance of short and long-term goal setting, self-talk, relaxation techniques, emotional and attentional control. Furthermore, we explore the significance of self-monitoring and reflection, and how Tom regulates this process, which has been demonstrated to be essential in attaining elite-level status in sports.
