    So true. When all things being equal (physical, skill, talent) between athletes, the mentality is what separates the good from the great.

    There are ways, sometimes very precise, to help athletes - plus leaders and workers alike - shift from the Threat State to the Challenge State, and thus improve their performance. I'm a PhD in clinical psychology, not sports psychology, and such ways include re-balancing their focus on speed vs accuracy (or productivity vs efficiency) for a given situation.

    In team sports there is a ceiling to what physicality can bring. Top athletes are all living strict lives and are all in peak shape, especially going into major competition's so the difference is usually either organisation and strategy, psychological or a mix of both.
    I follow football, but the reason I'm watching is because of the rugby world cup. I've always been interested in the psychology of the All blacks, unbeatable for two world cups and also the most consistently successful sports team in history. New Zealand also have very successful rowers and so in two high pressure sports the Kiwi's are considered the world's elite.
    I've started wondering how much does developmental environment play in this? And how does a country of 4.8 million produce such fine athletes so consistently?. Currently the all blacks have 3 brothers I the squad. Scott, Bauden and Jordie Barrett at points make up for 20% of the starting XI and between them have a better output than a lot of the smaller nations at RWC2019. Bauden is an IRB player of the year winner and I believe to be the single most gifted player I've ever watched. I believe this may be due to upbringing as children, factors that have helped them thrive in pressured environments. Hats off to the parents regardless but it makes you wonder, what was it about life in Taranaki that produced a family of Elite rugby players?

      The Economist is a magazine that mainly sells to people of European origin in America and Europe (approximately 87% of its readers) and their global diaspora elsewhere (eg to Australia, Singapore, UAE etc). Thus it is pretty normally that the video shows mainly white athletes. Later in the video it goes to the best sports uni in the world, which as it is in a country which is 90% white, there are a significant number of white athletes. I'm not sure how you managed to miss the large segment on the female rowers but that's in the video too.

Secondly it would benefit the rich white demographic to have people of color, differently abled and other such populations highly represented otherwise it is a negative feedback loop of white entitlement and ideas of supremacy.

      I feel like you're blowing this out of proportion more so than it needs to be. When it comes to the 'picture' of the video, it does represent the two sexes well by exampling and interviewing men and women. As for the racial equality, I cannot personally say, but I believe that it has to deal with simply the fact that white people are the majority make-up of the UK which is where this is based, and that other races are minorities.

    • @ethancrowe280
      @ethancrowe280 6 років тому

      I also have no idea why you would phrase it as if women weren't even interviewed. You put in a way that makes it seem like women were only shown scarcely in the video just for the sake of them being there. Women and men were both shown equally well and got speaking points equally in length, not only men speaking and women only being shown.
