#122 Sian Beilock - Examining Choking Under Pressure

I’m delighted to speak with Sian Beilock in this episode. Sian is a cognitive scientist, with two PhD’s: one in Kinesiology and one in Cognitive Psychology. Sian is one of the world’s leading experts on the brain science behind ‘choking under pressure’ and the brain and body factors influencing all types of performance from public speaking to your golf swing.  In this podcast, Sian and I take a detailed look at what ‘choking’ is and why it happens.
