“If it’s right, it will start to feel like a family.” Your environment impacts your performance, and having a supportive circle around you helps you to feel a sense of belonging, and also to develop your skills in a motivated and efficient manner. In this episode of Mind Set Win, Olympic Freestyle BMX athlete Nikita Ducarroz applies this idea to her own life, and elaborates on how it has helped her evolve and improve throughout her career as an athlete. Host Kate Courtney breaks this asset down into four vital aspects: inclusion, learning, collaborating and questioning, to help you further understand the key points that make up a supportive environment.This week’s exercise helps you to filter out what you need from your environment, and how you can implement this in your daily life. Recap the exercise below:Think of a time where you felt really supported. Who was there? Where was it?Dive into this moment and think about how you felt. Why did you feel supported?Now think of a moment that recently happened, like band practice or a dinner with your friends.Contrast these two moments. Why did you feel more supported in one situation? What were the differences?Finally, think about who may be able to help you and who you can share this information with.Chapters:00:00-Nikita Ducarroz10:23-Theme13:19-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney, @nikita.ducarroz

“We’re there to compete, we’re there to succeed. The best way to achieve that is by being measured, by being controlled, by following our processes.” Within a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, it’s crucial to enter a state of complete concentration. Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner presents a structured approach to stressful situations, which helps to make sure you slip into that focus state easier and quicker. In this episode of Mind Set Win, Christian gives an insight into his personal pre-performance routine as a tool to help improve his focus when he needs it. Following this, host Kate Courtney dives deeper into what makes a pre-performance routine so effective and shows three approaches to developing your own routine.The exercise will help you flesh out pre-performance habits on three levels: physical, mental and verbal, as a way of signaling to your brain that it’s go-time. Recap the exercise below:Decide on a cue that will prompt your brain that it’s time to begin your routine. This cue can be anything, from verbal to visual triggers – what matters is that it works for you.Now beginning your routine, a physical pre-performance routine can involve triggers like stomping your feet or snapping your fingers.Incorporating visualisation into your mental routing is an effective way to never lose sight of your goals.Finally, a verbal routine consists of saying things like “you got this” or reciting a poem or song lyrics.Chapters:00:00-Christian Horner08:00-Theme11:08-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney, @christianhorner

“If you don’t know how to lose, if you don’t know what to take from the loss, it’s hard to get better.” Learning how to take positives from your losses is crucial to life on tour as a tennis player. After all, even some of the very best players in the world like 2021 Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini frequently taste defeat. In this episode of Mind Set Win Matteo explains how he’s developed the mental strength to negotiate moments of disappointment and how taking learnings from defeats is a stepping stone to future success. Host Kate Courtney introduces us to the attribution theory before providing us with an exercise to help us uncover why things didn’t go our way in our daily life.Based around reflecting on a time when we were unsuccessful in something, the exercise offers us action points to adopt moving forwards so we can build a plan for when future opportunities arise. Recap the exercise below:Firstly, think of an occasion where things didn’t go as you hoped.Then, list all the things that actually went well despite the negative outcome.Now, list all the things that didn’t go well, but were IN your control.Next, list all the things that didn’t go well, but were OUT of your control.Once you’ve made your lists, think about which category was hardest or easiest to find items for.Lastly, look back at the things that didn’t go very well, but were within your control; these are the things you can work on, and this is how you can improve.Chapters:00:00-Mattero Berrettini09:24-Theme14:32-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney, @matberrettini

“When I realised my arm wasn’t ready to win races, that’s when I started to make some realistic goals.”Few athletes can claim to have redefined their sport in the way MotoGP rider Marc Márquez has. The eight-time world champion frequently defies the laws of physics with his spectacular and skillful riding style. During his appearance on the Mind Set Win podcast, though, it’s the Spaniard’s mental techniques that are in the spotlight and not his undoubted physical talents. Host Cédric Dumont hears how Marc has used his positive mentality to overcome three “nightmare” seasons of injury battles and get back to doing what he loves best – racing. During these challenging moments, Marc had to set himself new “realistic” goals which would eventually lead to his ultimate goal of winning again. And it’s this process of reverse planning that Cédric explores before providing us with an exercise to take away and use in our own daily life to help with our goal setting and reaching our targets.Chapters:00:00-Marc Márquez08:15-Theme12:13-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @cedricdumont, @marcmarquez93

“I do this evaluation of what is it really? Is it actually just my thoughts or is it the reality around me?”Distinguishing between subjective and objective assessments has helped Austrian paraglider Paul Guschlbauer push himself out of his comfort zone and reach new heights in his sport. Paul’s career revolves around Red Bull X-Alps, a race where competitors hike, run and fly more than 1200km across the biggest mountains in the Alps. When covering brutal terrain and navigating tough conditions, Paul has to consistently evaluate his surroundings to make the right decision that gives him the best opportunity to succeed. And as host Cédric Dumont explains, this is a technique we can all adopt in our daily lives when faced with moments that challenge us. Through incorporating Cédric’s exercise, we can learn how to better make objective decisions. For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @cedricdumont, @paulguschlbauer

“I know that I am not the biggest talent in our sport, but I know that my 100% is enough to win.”Joining Mind Set Win on this episode is Austrian rally raid legend Matthias Walkner, a winner of the bike category at the 2018 Dakar Rally. To win the iconic stage race you have to navigate through brutal terrain for days on end and overcome many situations outside of your control. This requires self-efficacy, a powerful asset that helps us approach new and tricky situations believing we can control them. Matthias explains to host Cédric Dumont how even though he doesn’t think he’s the strongest in the field, he believes in his ability to find his optimum level when he needs it most – his “100%”. Cédric then looks at the key determining factors of self-efficacy and offers a simple exercise that helps us increase and develop our own levels of it by building a circle of influence.

Welcome to a rather special episode of Mind Set Win. It’s a slightly different version to what you’re used to – we give you a full length interview with one athlete, with absolutely no interruptions.Earlier in the series we heard from former Germany and Bayern Munich footballer Mario Gómez, who ended his playing career in 2020 after spending nearly two decades as one of Europe’s most admired strikers. Mario is now technical director for Red Bull Soccer and has plenty of cause for celebration after RB Leipzig’s German Cup final victory in June 2023 meant they lifted the trophy for the second season in a row.Mario had much to say about the highs and lows that are inevitable in any competitive environment. And he told us how, despite setbacks, he managed to maintain confidence that the next chance would always come. But after such a long and celebrated career, Mario had so much more to say, and we thought you’d love to hear his interview in full.For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @kateplusfate, @mario

“Working to recognise thoughts has been the craziest change in every part of my life.”Learning to understand the inner voices that go through her mind when standing on the cliff edge about to leap from a height of up to 27m has been key to Molly Carlson’s Red Bull Cliff Diving success. In this episode of Mind Set Win, the 24-year-old Canadian takes us up onto the platform with her and explains the mindset techniques she has developed on her way to becoming a leading contender.
