Trading, an Elite Sport: Performance Psychology with Onyx Performance Director Chris Gooder

World of Oil Derivatives

After working as a performance psychologist for Premier League players, F1 drivers, and more, Chris Gooder joins Onyx as Performance Director. Viewing trading as the closest thing in business to elite level sports, Chris talks with Group CEO Greg Newman about the behaviours, motivations, and psychological patterns common amongst successful individuals.
The two discuss the reality that people aren't machines - even if their role depends on them performing like one. That's where Chris steps in, to provide one-to-one, day-to-day support and development for Onyx Traders so they can feel and perform their best in a high-intensity environment. Tune in to hear their full conversation.
