Athletes are constantly under severe levels of stress and anxiety to perform well. They fight for every inch and often put their bodies through excruciating pain to secure a win. Sounds a bit like traders, doesn’t it? Traders are also no strangers to stress, and they use their minds to create money out of thin air.
In this episode of Talking Trading Summer Series, we will examine the similarities between Sport and trading.
Sport Psychology concentrates on preparing the athlete’s mind as thoroughly as the body. Over the past couple of decades, coaches and athletes alike have started to realize that superior physical performance alone is no longer sufficient enough to win championships.
There needs to be the ideal combination of physical training, technical excellence, and psychology to create the medal-winning athlete.
A number of psychological techniques have been developed to assist athletes in controlling their perceptions of events. These cognitive techniques focus on creating awareness of negative thoughts and changing such thought patterns by stopping them and replacing them with more productive ways of thinking.
Listen as Louise Bedford, Dr Harry Stanton and Chris Tate explore this fertile area.

Dr Harry Stanton was the author of over 250 articles and nine books.
He was the first author to publish an Australian book on positive thinking in 1979. As well as being a practising clinical psychologist, he was recognised as Australia’s leading peak-performance coach.
In his private practice, he helped clients manage their lives more successfully by overcoming the obstacles they create within their own minds.
He had a lifelong fascination with hypnosis techniques to help traders overcome anxiety, improve their performance and develop a winning mindset.
