"My brain has already skied these runs many times, so if I make a mistake, it knows exactly what to do next."Reigning Olympic and World Champion alpine skier Marco Odermatt consistently implements a visualisation technique that’s become his anchor during races. It runs through his pre-performance routine like a red thread, and he uses it to ground himself and zone in on the upcoming task. In this episode of Mind Set Win, hosts Cédric and York-Peter discuss the role mental stimulation plays as Marco’s anchor, and learn how it helped the Swiss skier win the biggest race of his career to date in Beijing.The hosting duo then encourage listeners to identify a common routine within their own daily life. What is something you consistently do that has a comforting or grounding effect on you? The duration or type of activity isn’t what’s important, but rather how it makes you feel at that particular moment. Like Marco, you can then learn to use your anchor to find the right mindset that enables you to perform at your optimum level.

"I'm trying to show no emotions, I'm trying to be calm and not show if I'm upset or angry – no matter the situation." Showing emotions in sports is a balancing act that requires discipline, but also strategic thinking. In this special episode of Mind Set Win UNCUT, tennis star Elena Rybakina elaborates on how she’s able to walk the thin line between keeping calm regardless of the circumstances, but also knowing when showing her investment in a game is beneficial for her. The 2022 Wimbledon winner has continuously worked on this technique and is able to utilise this mental strength to her advantage during the crunch moments that decide the biggest titles in her sport. After all, tennis is like “active chess” – you have to know your opponent's next move before you finish your own.Listen out for another episode with Elena where York-Peter Klöppel and Cédric Dumont outline how we can apply this technique to ourselves.For more information, check out: Mind Set Win: Discover the keys to a winning mindset (redbull.com).

“You have to know why you’re doing something, and the ‘why’ has to be bigger than the doubt you have about yourself.” In this powerful episode of Mind Set Win, Springboks captain Siya Kolisi shares the mentality that's helped him achieve and establish his status as a sporting icon. The 2019 Rugby World Cup winner explains his ‘why’ in life, and how he’s continuously used it to push himself not just on the field, but also to create a positive impact in his community. In line with this theme, the exercise from hosts Cédric Dumont and York-Peter Klöppel focuses on how to find your own ‘why’ in life and utilise it as a source of energy for when you need it most. To help you establish your ‘why’, York suggests this technique: 1. When watching the news, or thinking about your job at the end of the day, ask yourself what resonated with you the most? What excited you the most? What carried the most meaning?2. Keep a note of it! It doesn’t matter how or where, whether it's in a folder on your phone, on your fridge, or in your notebook, all that matters is that you collect them somewhere. 3. When you’re having a down day or a difficult time, look at the note to remind yourself what your ‘why’ is, the bigger picture behind your actions and tasks.Chapters:1. Siya Kolisi interview2.

“I enjoy what I'm doing but I also don't make myself crazy – I don't put a lot of questions in my head. I just go with the flow and this works for me."Welcome to the first episode of Mind Set Win Season 2! We’re kicking this new season off with Formula One world champion Max Verstappen, who talks to us about trusting the process. The Oracle Red Bull Racing driver has perfected the art of not overcomplicating or overthinking his routine and approach, something which helps him keep focus on the important aspects he needs to win races and titles. In the episode, hosts Cédric Dumont and York-Peter Klöppel introduce us to a way of thinking that can help us focus on the present moment. It’s called What's Important Now – or WIN. They then tell us how to put it into practice. First, identify a large goal you’re working towards. Thinking about the final outcome can become overwhelming, so begin to think about the smaller steps it will take to reach that one goal. Finally, begin every day by focusing on What’s Important Now and what you can control in that very moment. This helps keep you focused on the daily achievable goals and the current tasks at hand that will push you towards your end goal.
