Choking Under Pressure - Dr Robin Jackson, Sports Psychologist 10th June

I welcome Dr Robin Jackson - Sports Psychologist - onto the show to talk about 'Choking under pressure.'

You'll see it happen many times in sport. Have you ever wondered why it happens? What often is going through the athletes mind? And is there anything that can be done to prevent it? Tune in Sunday 10th June 5pm GMT and discover more.

Dr Jackson's PhD on “choking” in self-paced skills led to a specialisation in Sport Psychology, so expect an enlightening discussion.

I've always been curious about why this happens. Often, in the past, I used to sit in front of the TV, feeling perplexed as to why the athlete just doesn't 'get a grip', calm down and do what they need to do. But as you'll hear from our discussion, there's much more going on below the surface, which can have an adverse effect on a sports person!

TUNE IN SUNDAY 10 JUNE, 5PM GMT!
