“If you don’t know how to lose, if you don’t know what to take from the loss, it’s hard to get better.” Learning how to take positives from your losses is crucial to life on tour as a tennis player. After all, even some of the very best players in the world like 2021 Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini frequently taste defeat. In this episode of Mind Set Win Matteo explains how he’s developed the mental strength to negotiate moments of disappointment and how taking learnings from defeats is a stepping stone to future success. Host Kate Courtney introduces us to the attribution theory before providing us with an exercise to help us uncover why things didn’t go our way in our daily life.Based around reflecting on a time when we were unsuccessful in something, the exercise offers us action points to adopt moving forwards so we can build a plan for when future opportunities arise. Recap the exercise below:Firstly, think of an occasion where things didn’t go as you hoped.Then, list all the things that actually went well despite the negative outcome.Now, list all the things that didn’t go well, but were IN your control.Next, list all the things that didn’t go well, but were OUT of your control.Once you’ve made your lists, think about which category was hardest or easiest to find items for.Lastly, look back at the things that didn’t go very well, but were within your control; these are the things you can work on, and this is how you can improve.Chapters:00:00-Mattero Berrettini09:24-Theme14:32-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney, @matberrettini

“When I realised my arm wasn’t ready to win races, that’s when I started to make some realistic goals.”Few athletes can claim to have redefined their sport in the way MotoGP rider Marc Márquez has. The eight-time world champion frequently defies the laws of physics with his spectacular and skillful riding style. During his appearance on the Mind Set Win podcast, though, it’s the Spaniard’s mental techniques that are in the spotlight and not his undoubted physical talents. Host Cédric Dumont hears how Marc has used his positive mentality to overcome three “nightmare” seasons of injury battles and get back to doing what he loves best – racing. During these challenging moments, Marc had to set himself new “realistic” goals which would eventually lead to his ultimate goal of winning again. And it’s this process of reverse planning that Cédric explores before providing us with an exercise to take away and use in our own daily life to help with our goal setting and reaching our targets.Chapters:00:00-Marc Márquez08:15-Theme12:13-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @cedricdumont, @marcmarquez93

“I do this evaluation of what is it really? Is it actually just my thoughts or is it the reality around me?”Distinguishing between subjective and objective assessments has helped Austrian paraglider Paul Guschlbauer push himself out of his comfort zone and reach new heights in his sport. Paul’s career revolves around Red Bull X-Alps, a race where competitors hike, run and fly more than 1200km across the biggest mountains in the Alps. When covering brutal terrain and navigating tough conditions, Paul has to consistently evaluate his surroundings to make the right decision that gives him the best opportunity to succeed. And as host Cédric Dumont explains, this is a technique we can all adopt in our daily lives when faced with moments that challenge us. Through incorporating Cédric’s exercise, we can learn how to better make objective decisions. For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @cedricdumont, @paulguschlbauer

“I know that I am not the biggest talent in our sport, but I know that my 100% is enough to win.”Joining Mind Set Win on this episode is Austrian rally raid legend Matthias Walkner, a winner of the bike category at the 2018 Dakar Rally. To win the iconic stage race you have to navigate through brutal terrain for days on end and overcome many situations outside of your control. This requires self-efficacy, a powerful asset that helps us approach new and tricky situations believing we can control them. Matthias explains to host Cédric Dumont how even though he doesn’t think he’s the strongest in the field, he believes in his ability to find his optimum level when he needs it most – his “100%”. Cédric then looks at the key determining factors of self-efficacy and offers a simple exercise that helps us increase and develop our own levels of it by building a circle of influence.

Welcome to a rather special episode of Mind Set Win. It’s a slightly different version to what you’re used to – we give you a full length interview with one athlete, with absolutely no interruptions.Earlier in the series we heard from former Germany and Bayern Munich footballer Mario Gómez, who ended his playing career in 2020 after spending nearly two decades as one of Europe’s most admired strikers. Mario is now technical director for Red Bull Soccer and has plenty of cause for celebration after RB Leipzig’s German Cup final victory in June 2023 meant they lifted the trophy for the second season in a row.Mario had much to say about the highs and lows that are inevitable in any competitive environment. And he told us how, despite setbacks, he managed to maintain confidence that the next chance would always come. But after such a long and celebrated career, Mario had so much more to say, and we thought you’d love to hear his interview in full.For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @kateplusfate, @mario

“Working to recognise thoughts has been the craziest change in every part of my life.”Learning to understand the inner voices that go through her mind when standing on the cliff edge about to leap from a height of up to 27m has been key to Molly Carlson’s Red Bull Cliff Diving success. In this episode of Mind Set Win, the 24-year-old Canadian takes us up onto the platform with her and explains the mindset techniques she has developed on her way to becoming a leading contender.

“You need to find a purpose that will self-motivate you, you don’t need to read the script of somebody else.” Nepalese climber Nimsdai ‘Nims’ Purja has achieved feats many people assumed were impossible. Millions of people have watched his Netflix film, 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible, where he summited the 14 highest mountains in the world, all over 8,000m, in six months and six days. In this episode of Mind Set Win, Nims uncovers the mindset that powered his climb into the unknown. He explains that a key component to his motivation on the quest was his sense of purpose, and wanting to inspire the world by showing that nothing is impossible. Host Kate Courtney then offers an exercise that leads us all in the right direction of finding our purpose in life by helping us better understand what we’re grateful for and what’s important to us.

“If you want to be great, you can’t think about what you did in the past, you need to think about the present.” Chris Matthews aka Lethal Shooter is a basketball skills coach to the elite stars of the NBA. During this episode of Mind Set Win, the mastermind of shooting reveals how it was through effective compartmentalisation that he learned to process and harness his emotions to positive effect during his playing career. Now one of the most sought-after skills coaches in the world, it’s a mindset he shares with everyone he works with. After breaking down all of Lethal Shooter’s valuable learnings, host Kate Courtney offers a practical exercise to help us refocus in the moment as well. Based around visualising filing our emotions away into the drawer of a cabinet, ready to be addressed constructively at a later time, it’s a technique to be used when we want to stay in the present and focus on the task at hand.For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney & @lethalshooter

For Konstanze ‘Koko’ Klosterhalfen, being patient has been an integral ingredient to many of her greatest races and performances during her athletic career.
