Sports to boardrooms: Paddy Upton reveals mental conditioning secrets of leaders |

The Indian hockey team's remarkable journey to success at the Paris Olympics has been attributed to their unparalleled mental conditioning, according to Paddy Upton, the team's mental conditioning coach. Upton highlighted the critical role mental toughness played in high-pressure situations, particularly in the final moments of closely contested matches. One of the team's most extraordinary achievements came during their quarterfinal match against Great Britain, where they were reduced to ten men after receiving a red card. Despite this, the team defied the odds to secure a historic victory. Upton described the moment as "impossible" but noted that the team had prepared for such extraordinary situations during their pre-Olympic camp in Switzerland. The metaphor of walking along a sharp ridge in the Alps, where one misstep could lead to disastrous consequences, was used to instil resilience in the players. Virat Kohli's journey to becoming one of the world's top cricketers is a testament to the power of discipline and doing the basics right, according to mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton. Kohli's success can be attributed to three fundamental pillars: quality sleep, good nutrition, and consistent exercise. Upton noted that early in his career, Kohli was overweight and spent more time at the buffet table than in the gym. However, a turning point came when Kohli decided to change his attitude, leading to a significant transformation in his fitness and performance. By focusing on sleep, nutrition, and exercise, Kohli elevated himself from being ranked 30th or 40th in the world to consistently being in the top 3 across all formats for a decade. Upton emphasised that these basic principles are available to everyone, and mastering them can unlock an individual's full potential, regardless of their profession. Hello viewers! Guess what?
