About this episode

Taking full responsibility for your life and facing challenges head on with the former Manchester United psychologist

Beswick is one of the world's best-respected sports psychologists, having worked at United under Sir Alex Ferguson during the club's dominant reign. 

In this episode he talks about developing a ‘fighter mindset’; ie taking full responsibility for your life and facing the inevitable challenges it throws up head-on.

This contrasts with a ‘victim mindset’, in which someone make excuses and blames others, and the world, for all their misfortunes. 

I would be hugely grateful if you could share this episode - it makes a big difference.
