Mustafa is one of sport psychology's foremost researchers and speakers on resilience. He somehow managed to find time in between lecturing, consulting and presenting at international conferences - to speak to me about some of his experiences. We talk about resilience at the individual versus the organisational level, whether insights can be applied across performance contexts, and why we need to move away from the notion that resilience is an ability to endure on your own.

To find out more about Mustafa and what he's up to, below are some links to his various profiles, along with links to some of the resources we talk about in this episode:

Resilience in people and organisations - Dr Mustafa Sarkar

Leon Lloyd dreamt of playing for Coventry City, but winded up playing rugby for Leicester Tigers and England. Now, he's a CEO, author and speaker, as well as in the final stages of completing an MBA. As a former athlete that has moved from 'boot room to boardroom' he's the perfect man to skipper the Switch the Play Foundation - the UK's only charity dedicated to supporting all sportspeople to successfully transition into life outside of sport. We discuss the trade-off between focusing on your primary performance area and building interests and skills outside of it - from the All Blacks and the German football team, to Jamie Roberts and Beth Tweddle.
