In this episode, we talk about leadership and the idea of cultural architects vs cultural assassins.

Whether you’re a coach, player or parent, you are part of a team's culture. I’d really encourage you to think about whether you’re more of an architect or an assassin and then think about how you can be a leader in your environment by improving your behaviours on a daily basis.

This might not make much sense now but I’m sure you’ll understand what we’re talking about once you start listening.

This is the final of 3 episodes from our epic conversation with Cricket Australia psychologist Peter Clarke. If you haven’t already listened to part one and two then I highly recommend you go back and check them out as there were so many great learnings from those episodes that lead into this one.

In this episode, Peter shares some brilliant practical examples of how some of the best athletes in the world use routines to manage their anxiety and release little bits of emotion and nervous energy. He also shares how the best athletes have specific mental techniques and behaviours to get themself in the best possible state to perform at their best.
