Sport psychology - inside the mind of champion athletes: Martin Hagger at TEDxPerth
Sport psychology - inside the mind of champion athletes: Martin Hagger at TEDxPerth WorldViralMedia 19 Views • 6 years ago

Martin Hagger is Professor of Psychology at Curtin University. His areas of expertise are social, health, sport and exercise psychology. He is involved in numerous research projects nationally and internationally with a focus on motivation and behaviour change. He is currently leading projects in drugs in sport, promoting physical activity and healthy diet, understanding the mechanisms of willpower and self-control, and reducing binge drinking and the prevalence of smoking.

At the highest level, athletes are well-matched in terms of their physical abilities, conditioning, and skill level. But often that is not enough to win and perform on the biggest of stages like the Olympic games. Developing strategies and techniques to get athletes minds in the best possible condition for optimal performance is increasingly important for sports teams and coaches.

Martin will provide an overview of the kinds of techniques that elite athletes use to prepare psychologically for their sport, give details of the scientific research into these techniques and how they work, and how the techniques might be used by competitive athetes and coaches to maximise performance.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Global National: Feb. 26, 2020 | Coronavirus concerns growing as countries assess preparedness WorldViralMedia 19 Views • 6 years ago

The biggest novel coronavirus outbreak, known as COVID-19, outside of China is in Italy, where more than 400 cases have been confirmed. As Crystal Goomansingh reports, with the new coronavirus quickly spreading across borders, different countries are showing a range of responses to major outbreaks. Also, despite what the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says, U.S. President Donald Trump says he doesn't believe COVID-19 is inevitable in that country. Jackson Proskow has more on Trump's message, the person just named in charge of that country's coronavirus response, and how the CDC says some of its testing kits are faulty.

Plus, Canada's plan to handle pandemics could soon be put into action, as COVID-19 continues to spread around the globe. Mike Le Couteur looks at the preparations, and why Canada could be more prepared for a possible outbreak. Canadians have plenty of questions about the outbreak. Global National's Dawna Friesen spoke with epidemiologist and infectious diseases expert Dr. Isaac Bogoch to get some answers about the virus.

Turning to Canada's railway blockades, Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs say conditions for a meeting with provincial and federal officials have not been met, despite optimism earlier Wednesday. Sarah MacDonald looks at how the day played out before things fell apart.

After police in Ontario dismantled the rail blockade in Tyendinaga, some people are resorting to new tactics to disrupt rail service. David Akin shows you what happened.

Healther Yourex-West looks at a new report from world-renowned climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, who warns climate change will have a profound impact on Alberta.
