Improving your mental performance - routines

In part two of our brain training series, Mental Performance Coach Sally McGinn focuses on routines. Why are routines beneficial? What should you include in your routine? How do you stick to a routine? And how do you avoid superstitions?

Sally has been working in sports psychology for more than 10 years and set up her private practice, Mind Odyssey, last year. She works with a variety of sportspeople, including individuals and teams. Sally grew up riding horses and evented up to Intermediate level. Once she stopped eventing, she continued to be involved in the sport as an owner, with her horse making it to the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials, finishing in the top 20.
