It was a treat to visit the studios of Premier League Preview earlier this week to talk about the climax of the 2021-2022 season. Focusing on Manchester City's match away at West Ham on Sunday, we talked about how Pep Guardiola calls on the power of belief to turn in such an impressive string of strong performances when it matters.
The London Stadium has been a happy ground for Manchester City in recent years but this time the pressure is magnified as they aim to get over the line in the title race - potentially with a makeshift defence after a run of injuries. West Ham also head into the match on the back of a European semi-final disappointment of their own so they will be looking for a high at their last home game of the season. Make no mistake: when you get this close to a title it's ALL about the mind. But if either team needs any more inspiration they can think back to all the peak performances at the very same stadium 10 years ago at the 2012 Olympics - as described by the likes of Jessica Ennis-Hill and Usain Bolt in the pages of In The Zone: How Champions Think and Win Big. You can watch the final cut today on BT Sport at 6pm or Sky Sports at 7pm.

It was a pleasure to speak to Ryan Hartley of the Always Better Than Yesterday podcast earlier this month. You can check it out in the video above, where we talk about the Zone and its relationship to everyone from Travis Pastrana to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi...
And if you're in the mood for a really good listen, check out this podcast by the Enterprise Sales Club's Adrian Evans with the irrepressible mind coach Don MacPherson, author of an exceptional new book How to Master Your Monkey Mind. Thank you so much to all the media outlets who have taken In The Zone to their hearts and helped spread the word over the past months all over the world. The latest publication to feature the work is the June issue of Ukraine's Megapolis magazine, which carried out an extensive and very well researched interview about the mind of sportspeople and how we can all learn from what they are able to achieve. If you don't happen to be travelling through Kiev this month (whyever not?) and your Russian is up to scratch you can see some of it in the above picture and find the entire magazine online by clicking here. This week I also enjoyed a rare TV appearance on the Motorsport Show hosted by Peter Windsor. We discussed solutions for the widely-criticised 'boring' 2018 Monaco Grand Prix before moving onto a race that is always exciting, the Indianapolis 500, won this year by the aptly-named Will Power (see clip below).
