In this episode of the Dibbly Dobbly Podcast I speak to Sports Psychologist Graham Winter. After playing 14 first-class and 5 List A matches for South Australia he decided to retire from cricket to pursue a career as a performance psychologist. His career as a performance psychologist has seen him coach Olympic gold medallists, test cricketers and the executive teams of international corporations. He is the best-selling author of five books which include Think One Team, High Performance Leadership, and First Be Nimble. In his latest book Mindful Cricket, he brings together his passion for performance psychology and cricket to challenge and equip cricketers and coaches to find better ways to play a sport which everyone knows is played above the shoulders. In this Cricket Discussion, we talked about Graham’s Cricketing/Psychology Journey, Sports Psychology, The Importance of Working on the Mental Skills of Cricket, The Four Pillars of the Mindful Cricket Game Mindset Framework: Clear Mind, Play Brave, Play Clever, Play Better and Tips and Advice for upcoming Cricketers/Psychologists.
