Description

Mauro van de Looij is a sports coach and performance psychologist from the Netherlands. He has worked as a youth coach at PSV Eindhoven and Willem II Tilburg and he teaches Performance Psychology at Fontys University of Applied Psychology. Mauro coaches athletes, trainers, students and teachers and also supports sports clubs, schools and companies in coaching and talent development.

Mauro joins me to talk about his book 'https://amzn.to/3xJyG36' which is a book that is dedicated to supporting coaches to understand more about how they can unlock young athletes potential by recognising the psychological elements that are too often overlooked and can be so impactful on a young players career. 

In this conversation we cover: 

- How his own experineces dealing with pressure shaped his approach to coaching. 
- How he got rid of the Relative Age Effect by not playing in age group teams. 
- How we coined a new term - 'talent needs turbulence'. 
- Why so many coaches would say to him "I wish I got this on the coaching badges".
