Visualisation: Sir Nick Faldo

Don’t Tell Me The Score

Available for over a year

How to harness the power of your imagination to achieve success, with Britain's greatest ever golfer. Sir Nick Faldo spent 97 weeks as the world number one and won six majors, three at The Open and three at The Masters, and he attributes much of his success to his powers of visualisation, which is the theme of this episode. He explains how he used to visualise twice a day in his pomp, and "saw" himself as the winner of major championships before it happened. He explains what he believes is the key to sports psychology - focusing on what you do want not what you don't - and shares tips on dealing with pressure and quickly forgetting bad results. Sir Nick also explains the importance of reframing "failure". @simonmundie
