Published: Nov. 1, 2018, 6 a.m.

As you may have noticed, life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s tough at times, but how you deal with setbacks as and when they arise largely dictates how successful you will be. That’s what performance psychologist Ian Price reckons anyway, and Simon sits down with him to uncover how to build a positive mindset, and asks whether resilience is actually more important than talent. This is all scientifically proven stuff from credible fields like sports psychology and neuroscience, and are the sort of things put into practice by top sports stars including the likes of Sir Andy Murray and the whole of Team GB, on the way to winning Wimbledon titles and Olympic Gold medals.
