068: Do I fit the selectors' mould, or do I create my own style?

Do I fit the selectors' mould, or do I create my own style?

Who are you playing for? It’s an age-old conundrum for elite and professional athletes.

“Do I change who I am and how I play to fit the mould of the selectors current criteria, OR do I back my own unique skills and become the player I know I can be?”

And the answer isn’t ‘immediately' that simple – surprisingly.

In this episode of Brain in the Game we will examine the pros and cons of each option and look at the skill development and performance sustainability model of growth: Consolidate – Construct – Implement. We will unpack a number of impacts on you as a performer and as an individual person when selecting to 'fit the mould' or to 'be you'.

Check out this episode of Brain in the Game, where I help rebalance this by showing key strategies in building a sustainable self belief.

So let's buckle in for this controversial topic and dive down the rabbit hole.
