#79 Dr Steve Bull - The Mentally Tough Athlete

I’m speaking with Chartered Psychologist, speaker, author and high performance consultant, Dr Steve Bull in this episode. With a keen interest in sport, Steve started out as a PE teacher before completing his Masters and then PhD in Applied Psychology at the time when the discipline was only just starting to take hold. He was the Great Britain Team Headquarters Psychologist at 3 Olympic games where he worked with coaches and athletes as well as staff across all sports. He also held various roles including team psychologist with the England Cricket Team for 16 years.

We speak about the importance of intervening at the right time; relationship building; mental toughness; types of mental toughness; helping athletes build mental toughness and personality science.
