Iain Stirling finds out what it's like to win gold at the Commonwealth Games, and hears from the designer of the Glasgow 2014 medals. Sport psychologist Kris Dun explains how she works with athletes and teams to help them focus and control their nerves when they need to perform at their best. She also shares an easy relaxation technique that could help anyone - not just top sportspeople - face a stressful situation. The series ends with a look at how the Glasgow Games will benefit the city and Scotland as a whole once the 11 days of sport are over.
