Bite Size: The Two Steps That Stop a Player Throwing a Punch | Gilbert Enoka (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A young player once told Gilbert Enoka that his advice was rubbish. On the field, when a referee makes a call he disagrees with, he wants to throw a punch, and no amount of mindset work was going to change that in the moment. Enoka, the All Blacks' mental skills coach for 23 years, did not argue the point. He gave the player a simple physical structure instead, and the player's own frustration rating dropped within seconds of trying it. It is the example Enoka now uses to explain why he believes

Bite Size: You Are Almost Certainly Underestimating Yourself | Craig Harper (opens the original)

And the higher you rise, the easier it becomes to avoid confronting that.
Mental Agility: Why it's so Important & How to Train it | Andrew May, Angela Poon, Jacqui Louder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people get sharper when the pressure lands. The meeting turns hostile, the plan collapses, the number comes in wrong, and they are still thinking clearly while everyone around them has gone quiet or gone hard. That is Mental Agility. The capacity to move between demands, tasks, roles and relationships while staying grounded and effective when conditions change. It is trainable, and it is the capability every organisation is now asking for without ever having taught it. PQ founder, Andrew Ma
Bite Size: A Debrief Won't Fix a Numb Team | Ex-SAS Soldier Harry Moffitt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A suicide bomber walked into a crowded local event in rural Afghanistan, and Harry Moffitt's small medical team spent the day treating the dead and dying. By the afternoon his unit sat in near silence, exhausted and numb. Moffitt, who spent close to three decades in Australia's Special Air Service, reached for the one thing he carried on every deployment for exactly this reason. What happened next, in the middle of one of the worst days of his career, became one of the most effective group reset
