Prime Effect uses the power of sport and positive psychology to accelerate mental fitness, delivered by Australia’s favourite athletes. We believe everyone needs to access the tools to build their own mental fitness to live an easier life. Sport stars aren’t lucky - they’re the product of years of building a mentally fit approach to help them succeed in all parts of their life. In this podcast, we deep-dive into the experience of current and former elite athletes and look at what helped them achieve their success and handle those inevitable setbacks. We lift the lid on inner-sanctum experiences from our sports-star days - stories that are often hilarious, never heard before, real and raw - all demonstrating the consistency that’s needed to achieve peak mental fitness to cope with everyday challenges and improve performance. We connect their tried-and-tested strategies back to the evidence-based positive psychology that our mental health programs are built on and show how our listeners can adopt these tools into all parts of their life, everyday. Our guests and Prime Effect ‘Athlete Ambassadors’ include NRL stars, Rugby Unions Stars, AFL Stars, Olympians and Paralympians, as well as other successful Australian professionals.

Join us for this life-changing episode with James Whittaker, global podcaster and motivational speaker from Win the Day, who’s interviewed over 500 of the world’s most popular podcasters. Aggregating wisdom from across the globe, James brings attention to how people in any situation can win the day in practical ways. Challenging the mindset of the masses: ‘people expect just to feel good’, James explains that motivation wanes for everyone and why the concept between process and motivation is so critical to practise every day. Topics of discussion include: It’s up to you about how you feel day to day Where you spend your time can determine how you can bring your higher game Bridging the gap between performance and potential What value can you build into yourself so other people connect with you Reduce exposure to negative people – reduce value and stock you have in relation to that person If we don’t take accountability to our situations, we can’t be empowered to change or change our circumstances.
