36A – Interview with Amit Katwala, Applying Neuroscience to Sports

A discussion with Amit Katwala, senior writer for Sport Magazine
and author of the new book: The Athletic Brain: How Neuroscience
is Revolutionizing Sport and Can Help You Perform Better.
 we discuss topics including how the brains of elites
athletes are different than normal people, some methods teams are
using to short cut this process with brain training, ways you can
trick yourself into having greater endurance, how to better
diagnose concussion, the idea of sporting IQ, and examples of
sports psychology at work in the recent Olympic games.
