He gave a TedTalk on the basic sports psychology which I learn at gcse and a level. Shows how much the field has progressed in 12 years as this was once the in depth sports psychology analysis and now this is just surface level.

Honestly thought it was a good talk. Very refreshing to hear. As a college athlete, sometimes I forget the simple mental aspect of success.

Studying this for my sports psychology exam tomorrow. Good work. May god bless him.

nowadays people find happiness in criticizing people on internet....this is the new form of achieving self esteem.....great development i see....

what i learned was this from playing basketball i lossed i score like 2 or 3 point in a game but the whole time in that game i found my weak spots i went online found a denfinsive drills and did it everyday i think the mindset is to find where you did wrong and work on it like kobe said you got to look at your weakness and fix it

Good day Prof. I am so impressed with this video and it inspired me more to have deep interest in this our noble profession. Am a Phd student in Nigeria studying sports psychology. I always enjoy your video clips and wish to have yo as my mentor sir

Thank you Martin, quite an insightful and deep talk being shared, hopefully able to be understood by the general public to increase the popularity of exercise and competitive sports. Undoubtedly leaving powerful lessons and impacts towards minds of young athletes like myself which could use what has been stated into training and in real - time sports events to achieve maximal performance and produce the best results competing on a local and international level, not only but this talk has also engraved a deeper understanding of the life and mental and physical preparation in the minds of athlete or as well as for other people that are curious to know more.

The fundamental success of every athlete in any given discipline is defined by proper application of psychological factores. It is a very interesting topic, one which has many various outcomes & variables that determine success. For me probably the most important factors are both improving ones understanding of both opposition & also dealing with psychological barriers that may prevent success, as well as preparation. They're other factors but I personally find these extremely important.

Wow.. so so beautifully put!! In sports, the mind plays an equal, or even more important role than physical abilities of the athlete.. it is so intriguing to find out what happens in an athlete's mind.. 😍😍

So cool that the two different contrasting styles can be equally as effective. Phelps is pure baller.

I am a D1 student athlete who will be creating a channel telling of my struggles with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and relationships. I want others to know they aren't alone and hopefully I can help through things I still struggle with. You're not alone. We aren't alone.

Sports psychology broken down nicely.. good explanation under 12:00mins with vivid examples

Perfect. Plainly stated. Encouraging and doable. Love it.

Thank you. Some people mentioned that this video doesn't tell us anything new. I disagree, this video reminds you with what we naturally know which is the make sense and that is why you think it's not new. This is a reminder to enjoy and live the moment while doing sports. So go tomorrow and try to apply keeping your mind in the activity. you will come back and thanks him

I don't know why not many people in the comment show appreciation to this. This is worth listening to. I mean, I'm not an athlete or anything, but this gave me insights on others areas in my life. That's worth watching And for the people who are only criticizing, he's on a TEDx and a subject matter expert, what are you doing other than criticizing? Put your ego on hold and start learning...

Thank you for uploading it!

Wow, I must say, I AGREE with EVERYTHING you said. Works for me.

Rip this guy. Anxiety sucks, but thats the key of performance psychology

Thank you for this video I know sports take a lot of physical activity but mental is important too!

So true! Our channel is all about the idea of figuring out what goes behind the mind of individuals who play sports and how it helps them grow in other aspects of their life. And how others can benefit from it.

Great video thanks to the uploaders .

Great work. Thank you Martin !!

This can also be applied to daily life of anyone in any field

I know my country isn't in the conditions that I can play for my country internationally. But for my juniors I will say for sport the biggest thing is that don't think you lose now. Until the last second has been ended. It isn't words it is the truth. Courageous people rule the world rather than talented. Because you overcome anything through your brave mindset. I am playing in Pakistan for my city's club that is Karachi. My first 50 games isn't good. 50 games just 8 goals and 3 assists. I started playing for the club at the age of 16. Now I am 20. Make yourself A BIG GAME PLAYER means ready yourself for the champion at any second of the time. Today I have played 164 games scored 90 goals.82 goals in last 114 games. And 46 assists. Won 3 titles and have 2 times best player of the City. This season i have played 41 games and scored 36 goals with 9 assists. My best players are Ronaldo Ibrahimovic and none others than Messi.

Video was useful as a foundation for Sports Psychology. You have to take this basic information and apply it to the: Athlete, Sport, Situation and Environment. The video is helpful if looked at from that perspective.

people find happiness in criticizing people on internet this is a new form of achieving self esteem .self esteem is the people’s self belief in them achieved through their will power

Succinctly put, thank you. It was helpful to hear this.

excellent talk.this really change my mind inner workings.

thanks! awesome speech!

So impressed! Thank you

"And I'm not talking about catwalk modeling here" Nobody laughed...

Great video so helpful for my training while im injured from football. Excellent!

Very nice thanks a lot !! very useful ....

I loveeeeeee this thank you so much

Great talk. Thank you.

The video seems perfectly interesting and does a well enough job of keeping my attention. I don't understand how you people can't bother 12 minutes or so to learn a new item of info.

And this ladies and gentleman was my professor this semester and we all almost failed his class. That is all.

*Error :-* Brazil were *not* the defending Olympic champions in 2012, Argentina won the 2008 Olympics. Brazil won their first Olympics gold in 2016.

Hi Martin, I enjoyed your talk very much. You looked really nice. Awesome!

i know that this is super late but this is so good for young athletes like me, this helped so so so much. This is great for in my future t think about this is awesome thankyou.

So relevant to Leicester's season. I hope they win the league title at Old Trafford.

Hmmmm his pockets? wow, didn't even notice. To a lot of real athletes these are basics. But it's important to review even the basics once in a while. It's surprising how many people will claim they know this info but never really use it. Specific goals that lead up to winning. You would be surprised how many people don't make them and more importantly how many people are just not honest with themselves when it comes to really reaching for it. Basics yes, still good info.

Thank you!

Succinct and in 12 mins managed to keep me engaged and as always learned a few little nuggets, thanks.

Thank you

Works for me, useful information

Sport psychology is a science that draws on knowledge from many related fields including biomechanics, physiology, kinesiology and psychology. It involves the study of how psychological factors affect performance and how participation in sport and exercise affect psychological and physical factors. Proper instruction and training of psychological skills for performance improvement, applied sport psychology may include work with athletes, coaches, and parents regarding injury, rehabilitation, communication, team building, and career transitions. Performance routines, Imagery or Self-talk are most used techniques that psychologists teach to athletes for improving their performance. i.e.- Michael Phelps (an American former competitive swimmer and the most decorated Olympian of all time) listens music before any competition which helps him to focus.

There's a huge difference between knowing and doing it unconsciously or consciously. The latter takes practice, the former is just about memory ;)

Love the self-talk, even to the point of saying keywords out loud to yourself.

The mental aspect is indeed the hardest part about sports. Pushing yourself physically is no biggie in comparison. Dealing with pressure from an organisation who constantly reminds you that they have invested a lot of money and resources in you is what broke me. I badly needed a sports psychologist.

love this thx

given the prevalence of PED's at the highest levels of all sport, amateur and pro, psychology is important, but so is chemistry. ))

Does Episoketren System really work? I notice many people keep on talking about Episoketren System. But I'm uncertain if it's good enough to improve your soccer technique.

Worl Cup final 2014 Germany Brazil 7:1 I think there had to be a huge psychological impact on the brazil side, sayig this with respect for them and as a fan of the german national team. But david Luiz, Cesar, Oscar Marcelo... come on such fantastic football players and 7 goals? We weren't so much better than brazil!

It starts at 5:33 :)

This is a great vid!!

Great man great video thanks

I love the way he rocks the suit

great talk

When talking about performance anxiety, I would exclude all team sport examples. Solo participant sports are the pinnacle of anxiety management when it’s ALL on you. Golf, tennis, snooker spring to mind. These are not about maximum physical performance and there are no hiding places.

1. Work towards single goal, maybe in round way 2. Learn how to develop 100 percent of your physical and mental strength its way way easier said than done, maybe round 1 in 1 million chance to succeed just look at elite athletes amounts.

let me shorten this video: some people are great at sports, some are just good. They all approach their match/game in their own way.

Perhaps psychology is all about PERHAPS...

I would like to know more, what he meant by 'prompts' whilst talking about visualizing the performance?

Summary of this abysmal Tedx Talk about Sport Psychology from Inside the Mind of a Winner: 1. Mexicans are better at soccer than Brazilians 2. What are in his pockets? 3. Factors that are linked to success in sport: Motivation, Confidence, Performance Knowledge, Routines, Anxiety Management 4. For motivation, set a SMARTER goal: Specific, Meaningful, Agreed, Relevant, Time-Specific, Engaging, Recorded 5. Improve confidence through experience, "modelling" (observation, imagery, self-talk), and feedback 6. Use imagery for mental preparation and rehearsal, especially useful for visualizing obstacles and barriers to overcome to be successful 7. Use self-talk for motivation, focusing, and calming oneself 8. There are numerous relaxation techniques for anxiety management: breathing, stretching, relaxing the muscles, listening to music, and meditation 9. Never found what was in his pockets...

Great vid, so helpful for my project

Nice talk but wish there was more.

powerful.

MARTIN HAGGER: this is an extremely awesome talk you've given. It's both a motivation and a great piece of wisdom. Also, try to ignore those who maybe don't do sports thus didn't benefit form this and therefore give negative criticism; only listen to positive criticism. For me, this is a very important talk. It's a good thing you presented it. Thank you.

Very interesting !!!

One wrong information: Brazil wasn't the reigning Oympic champion against Mexico in 2013. In fact, Brazil has never won the Olympic football medal until 2016.

It will guide me, as a professional soccer player, for the rest of my career Astounding Facts ♂️♂️♂️

His voice is all over the place

I learned that the next time I give a talk to a large audience to not start a sentence to the far left side and end the sentence to the far right side.

I finally know what I'm going to do with my psychology degree.....

Hi-ya, dope film! have a nice evening :o)

I really enjoyed this speech. Very informative and to the point. Did anyone catch his failed joke?lol. Still a good TED Talk though.

India was playing against Pakistan in Worldcup and the Indian team was over confident and said that they will win. One of their former player asked the Pakistani team to pull out as they will get defeated again. Pakistan not only outplayed them but they won that game like champions. They didn’t give a single chance for Indians to overtake their mindset. It was amazing to see that match.

I love it....

Anyone else hear the voice cracks?

This is an interesting talk. His points can be used in many other things, eg: public speaking. If I ever race Usain Bolt - I'll come back to this

Feedback is important Self talk

Good talk from Salihamidzhic

3:01 really breaks down the whole video in about 12 seconds. your welcome.

I never heard the word ‘perhaps’ so many times before...

Relaxation techniques will help me Greatly in learning to stay relaxed in breathing in performing at my Very best without any Hindrances mentally or in any other way emotionally or Spiritually or even physically" "quote on quote personal note" thanks for sharing

The nitty-gritty of Sport Psychology begins at 5:00

nice!

I'm moved by the transformative power of this content. A book with parallel themes was a critical influence in my life. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

gogo!

I never understand why these never bring up combat sports athletes

I love it

Most of this seems pretty obvious... if you have eyes and a small amount of pre-frontal lobe capacity. Thought he would have gone into some 'deeper' topics like the high-peek performance zone or 'hive mind' chemistry within teams. Oh well

3:40 in and he is still on his introduction; I still don't know what sports psychology is 3 minutes into a 12-minute video; my God.

There are always exeptions but ppl who chose agressive sports might have psychological traits-adhd, maybe impulsive or even agressive temperament and need for adrenalin, dopamin high etc. ... Also adicct pesonality disorder and so.

One cannot measure distances of greater than about 25 light-years using parallax since we don't know EXACTLY where (not only does the Earth go around the sun, the sun orbits the galactic center, etc. so determining exactly where Earth was 180 days ago is all the more difficult) the Earth was sixth months ago using the Earth's ORBIT around the sun as the base of the triangle. Just ONE light-year has an angle of ONLY 0.017 degrees already! If u think Red Shift measures/accurately gauges distances 2 distant objects, u need 2 know that red shift is QUANTIZED (only at certain energy levels), absolutely ruling out the Dopper Effect explanation, may b caused by tired light, (Light may lose energy naturally as it travels and remember that since light has mass, it is affected by other objects with mass. A solar sail works because light has momentum and therefore mass. If you believe light has energy, and energy is mass according to Einstein, then you believe light has mass.) objects moving @ right angles to us, & when gravity is acting on an object. There's this object moving TOWARDS us that is still red-shifted!!! There's this pair of objects connected with radically different redshifts that proves the big bang wrong. In addition, in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, near the center, where the velocities are extremely high, the red-shift is somehow washed out. This strongly implies that strong motion DESTROYS the redshift, instead of creating it. A galaxy has even been measured to have a DECREASE of one quantization in redshift, which should be impossible if the universe is expanding and the redshift is due to the doppler effect. KZfaq: Stretching the Heavens: A New Cosmology. Google Science vs Evolution Pathlights. We can barely make out PLUTO with our best telescopes and yet we are told astronomers have detected a planet 1,300 or so light-years away?! Think about it. The object MAY be thousands of light-years away but we cannot measure those distances. We are simply TOO TINY, to put it humbly. And yes, there may be no such thing as deep space. Perhaps the "far away" objects are just super-tiny. It's possible. How could we know the difference? The Cosmic Background Radiation is much too cold to have come from the supposed Big Bang. It actually comes from stars. The heavens shall pass away with a great noise... interesting how from a biblical perspective, the big bang is in the future, where the heavens will be passed AWAY, instead of in the past, where it supposedly created the universe.

Educating👋

I wonder know how in earth TED approved that, after 5 minutes that seemed to be a lot more I had to stop the video and came to see the comments.

This speech sounds like a sale of Sports psychology to me!

4:19 devastating voice break
