    He's still a work in progress, he's very young and full of energy and his competitiveness got the best of him a couple times, but it's good to know he's working on it because it will ensure his domination for years to come.

    The mental side of the game is getting so important nowadays. Being able to recognize when your opponent is struggling, focusing on your stuff and don't let emotions take over when making a mistake are just some of the key aspects I tried to improve this summer.
    Waiting for your online courses bro🧠.
    Keep improving!

      Absolutely spot on 👍 it's honestly what will be the biggest 'final edge' that separates the best from the rest. Keep up the hard work 💪

    Around 8.29 million people practice mediation in the UK. The mental/ psychology side of things will increase during this decade, just like working out and running seems to have exploded, (covid restrictions definitely factor in the increase).
    Seeing people like Carlos Alcaraz working on the mental as well as the physical. Definitely means he is ahead of a considerable amount of his competition!
    Thanks for sharing this!

    Hi Sam, in 10+ years of working with elite athletes, as you’d expect, I’ve encountered many sport psychs. As with anything, there are some better than others. ‘Range’ of experience is normally what separates them. Similarly, athletes who can afford psychs with that range are a significant minority. Most athletes don’t have that luxury, therefore the psychs they encounter are themselves sometimes “cognitively entrenched” by existent theory. So it’s akin to that vicious circle when they leave university, knowledge v experience. It’s the latter which will separate them from their peers.
    Indeed most modern professional sports coaches have a very good grasp of the key psych principles. Therefore the ‘gap’ previously filled by sport psychs is narrowing.
    So I have one piece of advice, if seeking to engage a psych, look for one with a range of experience and preferably, not just within sport.

    • @SamMartinPeakPerformance
      @SamMartinPeakPerformance  Рік тому

      Thanks for offering your take Jeffrey - spot on as ever. Really interesting you mention "range" in terms of experience. I think that's something often overlooked where sometimes athletes want the 'go-to' guy or girl who works with athletes in (insert whatever sport). The problem is, you can often just get someone who confirms your existing biases / tells you what you 'want' to hear rather than 'need' to hear. Great book in/around this space is "Rebel Ideas" by Matthew Syed in case you've not read it.

    Alcaraz's a godzilla grunting doper . His physical transformation is super sus in 2021. No 19 year old played 3 five setters in a row and played the final looking that fit at that age . Considering the spanish tennis doping history and less number of tests and rapid body transformation.dude is defo juicing

Like, when we see your video we tell ourselves that you are right and that this secret weapon helped him win vs Djoko, but now could you give us the link or place where you learned this info, thank you

    He came out of nowhere?! Just check his background. Having everything he needed on Nadal's academy, best coaches and training conditions that any other young player can just dream of. And after all, this is very complicated sport, so many things can go wrong. I'm really not a fan of big predictions

    • @SamMartinPeakPerformance

      I see your point. I guess the choice of phrasing was off, perhaps more ‘burst onto the scene’ in terms of playing so well on the pro tour so quickly.

    Alcaraz will drop out of the top 10 by the age of 25 owing to injuries. He will be injury prone.
