The Winning Mentality
The Winning Mentality is a podcast dedicated to finding out the secrets behind sporting success. My name is Charlie Boscoe and I speak to athletes, coaches, journalists, team owners and support staff to find out what makes some people and organisations rise above the rest. For the biggest names in sport and the best behind the scenes stories, look no further. Each episode is an in-depth interview with a guest perfectly positioned to give a unique insight into their sport. The sports discussed are as diverse as the guests so expect soccer, rugby, nfl, cricket, cycling, skiing, cave exploring, crossfit, rowing and many more.
