The Winning Habit: The Mindset for Sustained Success in Sport and Business
The 1st Ashes Test might not have lived up to expectations from an English perspective but last Thursday’s event with Sir Andrew Strauss and Dr Mark Bawden in Leeds certainly did.
On the Eve of cricket’s greatest rivalry Digital Sport North hosted an afternoon where we discussed mentality, psychology and how you create the right environment for success – both in sport and in business.
Sir Andrew Strauss shared his experience of playing cricket at the highest level over a 9 year career and the methods he employed, which contributed to him leading England in Ashes Series wins, both in England and in Australia – he remains one of only three captains to achieve that feat.
Dr. Mark Bawden – who was the England cricket team’s psychologist in that period and also worked with Team GB at London 2012 – explained how those methods used in the sporting arena are now being transferred to business environments and being successfully applied to enhance team performance and productivity through their own business, Mindflick.
The pair invited questions from the floor, fielding everything from queries on psychometric testing and the benefits of Spotlight to how you handle pressurised situations and of course, the keys to success in Australia. Everyone present had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. One where they were entertained and took away ideas which could be useful in achieving greater success in their own teams and working environment. It was my privilege to host it.
Particular thanks to Andy Roberts and Rob Powell for expertly organising the afternoon. It was a pleasure to work with them.
