Peter Clarke | Cricket Australia Psychologist on coaching, culture and dealing with fear

Welcome to the Inside Edge Podcast,  our guest today is Peter Clarke - sport psychologist from the Australian Cricket Team and head coach of the University of Queensland CC who are one of the most successful team in the Queensland Premier Competition.

 A lot of criticisms of sport psychologists is they don't understand what it is actually like to have the pressures of being out in the middle, and on the flip side, a lot of coaches don't understand how to help players who are struggling with the mental side of the game. This is something that makes Pete incredibly special. In this episode we discuss:

• The key elements that make up the UQCC successful culture
• The neurobiology of our fear response and how it explains performance anxiety, nervousness and getting into the zone
• The 90/10 principle on focus and acceptance
• How Pete focuses on building relationships when working with international cricketers and coaches
• Some practical tools to implement in your game or with your team straight away.
