A Load of BS on Sport: The Behavioural Science Podcast with Daniel Ross and Liam Botham
A Load of BS on Sport: The Behavioural Science Podcast dives deep into the psychology of what makes elite performers tick; how they think about success and failure, how they find and maintain peak performance, how they manage fear and adversity, how they make decisions under pressure, how they deal with risk and uncertainty.
Daniel is a behavioural science and sports fanatic while Liam is an ex-professional Rugby Union and cricket player, part of a family dynasty of sporting greatness. Together, we talk to top athletes, coaches and psychologists.
