Focusing on the most important thing with Performance Psychologist Michael Inglis

"Performance is about focusing on the most important thing at the most important time"

My guest today on the Potential Psychology Podcast is sports and performance psychologist, Michael Inglis. Michael is Director and Co-founder of The Mind Room. He works with athletes, coaches and teams to build high performance environments and develop key mental skills to enhance performance. 

In this episode, Michael and I take a peek at the fascinating world of sport and performance psychology and dig into:

  • What a sports and performance psychologist does and why you might seek one out.

  • Your values as your guardrails for performing, whatever that looks like for you

  • The evershifting dynamic between performance and wellbeing

  • Why the present moment is critical to achieving your goals

  • Tolerating discomfort in pursuit of your goals

  • How your values bring meaning to challenging moments

ABOUT OUT GUEST: 

Michael has worked in the mental health field since 1999 but focused on sports and performance since co-founding The Mind Room in 2012. He believes in a holistic approach to performance and that the wellbeing of athletes off the field is just as important as their performance on it. He is currently lead psychologist for the PFA and works with the Tasmanian Women’s Cricket team.
