Nick Wykes is a former bartender and drinks consultant turned professional sport psychologist who holds a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology and a Doctorate in Sport Science.
There is a lot to be learned from elite performers and how they set goals, manage adversity, and work with other people. These skills are certainly applicable to people who work and train in teams but also relevant to anyone who is striving towards a goal or objective.
One of my goals for this podcast to occasionally bring on guests with expertise in psychology, social sciences, philosophy, business and arts, whose insights might help all of us become happier, healthier and more productive individuals - and thus support our shared curiosity of the history, science, and culture of food and drink.
Expect to learn about what makes a high performance individual, how to set goals and protocols to achieve them, accountability, vulnerability, dealing with failure, managing your internal dialogue, dealing with stress and anxiety, maintaining perspective, motivation.
