Building relationships is vital both on and off the pitch. Good communication within a team builds a better team spirit and cooperation, which will enhance the chances of a team being successful.⚽💪

Is it any surprise that Ronaldo has 100% belief that his second spell at Manchester United will be a success? Not really! He has full belief in his ability. This is one of our core values. We have full belief that everybody can unlock their potential.🔑⚽#DeadlineDay #Ronaldo

It wasn't only the realisation that we have to change our pyramid that we took from this pod!

Many great concepts discussed in this, would highly recommend. Keep your eyes peeled as we will be looking at some of the topics talked about over the next few weeks. 👀🧠

Turns out Maslow hated the pyramid. Cheers for the heads-up @sbkaufman.👍 Looks like we’re going to have to re-think our pyramid!😬#maslow #humanneeds #psychology #humanneeds

@LFeldmanBarrett
is renowned for the concept of the 'body budget'.

Body and brain interlinked!🤝🧠

1️⃣ The brain budgets the energy in our bodies to keep us alive and well.
2️⃣ Brain anticipates the body's needs and attempts to satisfy them before the need arises.

Here are three things we can all do to help us manage our emotions. 👇

1️⃣ Sleep
2️⃣ Exercise
3️⃣ Good quality diet

A lack of these can provoke emotions such as anxiety and anger, which can negatively impact our behaviour. #sleep #habits #selfbelief

🏆 Peter Wright 🏆

He said he would win it and followed it through. Nobody came close in terms of self-belief, confidence, and desire to win. Well deserved champion @snakebitewright! 🎯 #darts #peterwright #WorldMatchplayDarts

Back to the Finding Mastery Pod we go! The topic of learning to lose was something that grabbed our attention. Particularly at the academy level, failure due to being in a testing environment/circumstances makes players better equipped to deal with it in the future. ⚽💪 #messi

Thanks to everyone who voted! There is no right or wrong answer, but is it possible that you can become so mentally conditioned that you approach every game the same way however much is riding on it? ⚽️ #mentalskills #biggame

[Mind On The Match @match_mind]

Bad way to end for Wales, but all things considered not a bad tournament at all! Was never going to be easy with the Giggs situation. You agree Wales fans? #wales #wal #walden #togetherstronger

Do you believe there is such a thing as a 'big game' in sport? 🤔 #sports #sportsfans #mentality #biggame

[HeadCoach @headcoach_app]

First pod up is @DanAbrahams77 @sportpsychshow episode 145 with @michaelgervais. Are we entering the 'decade of the mind'? Dr Michael Gervais thinks we are! Education teaches us ways of thinking and to learn x,y and, z, but don't teach mental skills. #education #mentalskills

[HeadCoach @headcoach_app]

Gratitude is the feeling of appreciating the things in your life and expressing your thanks for them. It could be as simple as taking 5 minutes at the start or end of each day to reflect on the things in life that you are grateful for. #grateful #thankful #rashford
