Novak Djokovic
We’d like to start this week congratulating and celebrating Djokovic’s winning Wimbledon. This’s been the year of the man from Serbia and the numbers speak for itself: winner at The Australian Open, finalist at The Dubai Tennis Championships, winner at Indian Wells masters, Miami masters and the Italian Open. Again French Open finalist and he was crowned this weekend for second consecutive time the Wimbledon champion. The next stop is at The Davis Cup against Argentina, where we can expect a great display of technique and dexterity of the top number 1 ATP player.
Every now and then comes an spectacular athlete. Defeating every opponent and rising with every tournament title and gold medals. Novak, Federer, Nadal, Williams, Bolt, Phelps. You name it. To better understand what all these athletes have in common, PhD Martin Hagger introduces us to what’s happening in the brain of the high performance athletes and how sport psychology can determine winning the gold or how it can help overcoming defeat. Training and technique, the right gear and an adequate mindset are the shortlisted qualities that every athlete should strive for if the goal is success.
