L&M’s unique combination of sport psychology, leadership and cultural change expertise enables the facilitation of optimal performance for the individual sports person, teams, management, or across the entire sporting organisation’s structure.
World-class performance looks effortless or superhuman, but to achieve this, a sports person needs to execute the required skills to an optimal level. This requires the attainment of minimal thought-interference and physical exertion, the notion of ‘easy speed’, regardless of the technicality or the physicality of the sport, and the personal and situational pressure that might exist. This state of ‘relaxed concentration’ leaves the sports person with the perceptual ability and processing space required to be aware of new and potentially unexpected information, e.g., the spin on the ball, the presence of an opponent, or a call from a team-mate, and to make correspondingly quick, correct decisions. Further, it ensures that neither physical nor mental energies are unnecessarily wasted, allowing freer and faster movement or greater endurance.
Progression and maintenance of optimal performance also requires consistency, being as good as you can be, day in, day out, in both training and competition. This requires strong motivation, an excellent goal-setting strategy, and the resilience to persevere and bounce back after disappointment.
