#36 David White - Superstitions in Sport: What’s Luck got to do with it?




The Sport Psych Show show

Summary: I have the pleasure of being joined by David White in this episode. David is a public speaker, national learning facilitator, consultant and performance coach. He's recently released a fascinating book called 'Superstitionism - The Psychology of Sport' which looks at the role superstition plays for athletes in all sports the world over. And it’s this book we focus on during our chat, specifically: superstition as a belief system; why athletes have superstitions; luck vs chance and probability; self-talk.
