World Cup Goalkeeping Blunders... - 3 views

  •  
    World Cup 2010 has already seen two of the worst goalkeeping errors imaginable - first Robert Green (England) versus the USA, then Chaouchi of Algeria, as the Africans lost 1-0 to Slovenia. So, in the interests of, well, voyeurism, I thought I'd see how they compared to past world cup goalkeeping blunders.

There are examples of successful sports performers going on to have successful careers as entrepreneurs, but what about going from sport psychology (or science) to business?

Using Mental and Physical Telemetry to Enhance Swimming Performance - 4 views

  •  
    For triathletes, collecting telemetry received from devices during practice sessions and competition is nothing new. For example, today many competitors have computers attached to their bikes that display power/wattage, cadence, speed, and distance information helpful for improved efficient training and performance. Just like in cycling, there is now a technology that allows a swimmer to receive telemetry about their technique, and matched with mental training, can assist the tracking and training leading to improvement.

What is mental toughness, and how does it relate to motivation? | iStadia - Where Sport... - 3 views

  •  
    Is mental toughness a resilient state of mind, or is a number of states - and about being in the right state at the right time?

It tends to be associated with some kind of ability to cope with pressure, or resiliency. It is something that athletes, coaches and commentators seem to recognise, but seems to be quite difficult to pin down.
