  <itunes:subtitle>Dr Alicia Naser explains how behavioural science can help athletes execute more consistently under pressure. Richard and Alicia discuss the links between fatigue, heart rate, self-talk, frustration, wearable data and decision-making, making the case for mental and physical preparation to be treated as one integrated performance system.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week, Richard Graves is joined by Dr Alicia Naser, behavioural scientist and founder of The Naser Institute for Behavioral Sports Psychology.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr Naser works with professional athletes and organisations across hockey, tennis, baseball, basketball and golf, helping them understand the relationship between behaviour, physiology and performance under pressure. In this episode, she explains why mental performance should not sit separately from physical preparation, and how fatigue, heart rate, self-talk and emotion can all influence an athlete’s ability to execute when it matters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conversation explores the practical value of becoming more aware of internal responses during competition. From using frustration constructively rather than trying to suppress it, to striking the right balance with wearable data, Dr Naser offers a behavioural-science lens on high-performance sport that will be useful for practitioners, coaches and athletes alike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;In this episode you will learn&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why mental health and mental performance are related, but not the same thing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How physical fatigue can affect clarity, decision-making and execution&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The relationship between heart rate, anxiety and an athlete’s self-talk&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why emotional awareness can itself be a useful performance intervention&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How frustration can be used to create focus and competitive intent&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where breathing strategies fit within performance under pressure&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to use wearable data without becoming overly dependent on it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why mental and physical preparation should be integrated across a performance programme&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How practitioners can use pre- and post-intervention data to build organisational buy-in&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A simple journalling exercise athletes and coaches can use to identify performance barriers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;About Dr Alicia Naser&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr Alicia Naser, PhD, BCBA-D, is a behavioural scientist, Board Certified Behavior Analyst and founder of The Naser Institute for Behavioral Sports Psychology. Her work combines behavioural science, physiology and mental performance to support professional athletes, coaches and organisations. Dr Naser has more than 12 years of advanced study, research and applied work in behavioural psychology, and works across a range of elite sports including the NHL, ATP Tour, MLB, NBA, PGA and Premier League. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week, host Richard Graves welcomes Steven Nightingale, Sports Scientist with the New Jersey Devils (NHL), to explore the realities of managing workload, performance, and recovery in one of the world’s most demanding sporting environments.&lt;br&gt;
From starting out in Peterborough to working in China, Russia, and now in the NHL, Steve shares his fascinating journey through elite sport, and how data, experience, and practical collaboration with coaches all come together to optimise athlete performance.&lt;br&gt;
They dive deep into how workload is managed across an 82-game season, the impact of fixture congestion and travel, and the evolving role of data and AI in shaping the future of sports science.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode, you’ll learn:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How Steve’s career took him from teaching in England to sports science roles across China, the KHL, and the NHL.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What workload management really means in professional ice hockey, and why it’s misunderstood.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How the Devils balance recovery, readiness, and tactical demands across a relentless schedule.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The challenges of measuring true intensity and how Steve uses Z-scores and T-scores to make data meaningful for coaches.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why less distance covered can actually correlate with winning more games.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How travel, sleep, and recovery all factor into athlete performance across an 82-game season.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The future of data analysis, including AI’s growing role in sports science.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Steven Nightingale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Steven Nightingale is a Sports Scientist with the New Jersey Devils in the NHL and is currently completing his Doctorate in Applied Sport and Exercise Science. Originally from Peterborough, England, Steve’s career has taken him from teaching and voluntary roles in UK hockey to international positions with Ice Hockey UK, the Chinese Olympic Committee, and teams in the KHL (Kontinental Hockey League).&lt;br&gt;
His research focuses on workload monitoring, return-to-play strategies, and performance optimisation, using technologies such as Catapult to inform evidence-based decision-making. Steven regularly shares insights on LinkedIn and publishes his research on ResearchGate.&lt;/p&gt;
