Mark Collins, Pressure, Performance & Decision Making — What Really Separates People When It Counts

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2336387/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Premier Talk, we sit down with performance coach and mentor Mark Collins to explore what really happens to people — in business and in sport — when the pressure is on. Mark brings a unique perspective shaped by 25 years coaching amateur boxing, working with professional footballers, and navigating the highs and lows of business life. The conversation covers how pressure develops in the mind, why decision making is the real leveller, and why the W stands for Win but the L never stands for Loss. We also get into why calm is a skill not a personality trait, what Usain Bolt can teach us about performing on the biggest stage, and Mark's Sunday morning Active Shift walks on the Sandbanks seafront — and why they're growing. Whether you're an athlete, a business owner, or just someone trying to keep their head straight under pressure — there's something in this one for you.
