Stop building machines. Start developing performers.
The Mindset to Match-Day Masterclass is a core event of Female Football Week, highlighting the importance of elite performance psychology and environmental research to redefine how we prepare female athletes for the pitch.
Join Dr Kirsten Peterson; with over 20 years of experience with the Australian Institute of Sport and the US Olympic Committee, and Maddisyn Dixon Whitbourne; a musician and PhD researcher, to explore how a Mastery Motivational Climate - one that rewards bravery over perfection - is a superior predictor of match performance, as well as how a physical and social environment acts as a silent coach to influence an athlete's mindset.
Key Takeaways Include:
- Strategies to transition from coaching for compliance to coaching with compassion.
- Practical tools to build a psychologically safe environment where players feel safe to take risks.
- Understanding how to leverage extraversion and communication as performance predictors on game day.
- Techniques to align a player's inner mindset with the team's external culture for sustainable success.
