This is part two of our three-part series with Cricket Australia sports psychologist Peter Clarke. If you haven’t already listened to part one then I highly recommend you go back and check that out as Peter shared so many great insights into what sports psychology is, how we can all understand our thoughts and emotions and learn to manage them to help us perform at our best more consistently. 

In this episode we discuss:

• Overcoming being someone's 'bunny'
• Mindfulness
• Letting go of mistakes
• The 3 R's - Reflect, Relax, Refocus
• How the best players use routines to refocus
• Cue words and pre-ball routines
• Dealing with stress
• PLUS a whole lot more!

If you want to reach your peak performance on the field, this will help you to understand how to manage your thoughts and emotions.
