August 18, 2023 No Comments

I’ve been working with athletes for more than 16 years and visualisation is one of the most common and most important techniques used in Sport Psychology. It means that you envisage a new sequence of movement, a race course or any sort of goal with all the details and with all your senses, mentally before you do it physically. This technique is so successful, because your subconscious mind cannot distinguish whether what you have just thought of was just imagination or actually real. Even your body will respond to an imagining with real-life symptoms.

August 18, 2023 No Comments

My oldest memory of a significant shark encounter was at the Bay of Islands 60 odd years ago. My mum and I were swimming 50 metres off the beach. I was getting cold so I went in. Suddenly I saw a large fin and tail tip skimming the surface 20 metres from me and between my mum and the beach. As calmly as I could I called out, “Mum, you had better come in. There’s a shark
