The Performance Psychcast - Episode 24 - Focus of Attention

Welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Dr Robin Owen. Our podcast episode today is around Focus of Attention and the theories surrounding it.  Robin is a lecturer at Liverpool Hope University and is interested in all things motor control and skill acquisition. His research interests include how movement planning and execution are affected by pressure, anxiety, changes in self-control resources, and different attentional foci (i.e., focusing on the body vs focusing on an object/movement effect).  Twitter:  @RobinOwenPsych  Email: owenr@hope.ac.uk  www.focusperform.co.uk www.arcope.co.uk

Welcome to our podcast around the mental side of performance, both in sport and business. Your hosts are Greg Parry from Arcope and George Mitchell from FocusPerform. Here we will speak to a variety of guests such as sportspeople, sports psychologists, members of the army, businesspeople, so basically anywhere where psychology can be applied to mental health and performance. We are hoping to shed a light on what it is like to work in performance psychology and how it can be applied to the individual and the real world. www.arcope.co.uk www.focusperform.co.uk
