What separates good athletes from great ones? It's not just talent — it's the mind.
In this episode, I'm joined by Dragica Danilovic — psychologist, psychiatrist, and leading educator at SFERA Academy for the Balkans. She breaks down sports psychology from two powerful perspectives: her work as a mental health professional and her life as the wife of a professional football player.
We explore what it really takes to succeed at the highest level, the mental barriers athletes face, and how the mind can be both your greatest asset and your biggest challenge. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or just someone looking to level up mentally, this conversation is packed with insights you can use.
Topics we cover:
The mental game behind elite athletic performance
Sports psychology principles that apply to everyday life
Supporting athletes from a partner's perspective
Mental resilience and overcoming pressure
The work SFERA Academy is doing across the Balkans
