The mental component of athletic success is often cited as the most important, yet it is frequently the least understood. The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) invites you to a one-day seminar at the Hilton Leeds City that delves deep into the "Top Two Inches" of performance. This seminar is a must-attend for anyone working in the supporting cast of an athlete, from coaches to full-time sport psychologists.
The 2026 program is built around the theme of "Holistic Excellence." We move beyond simple visualization techniques to explore the complex intersection of high-performance pressure and long-term mental health. The morning sessions will be led by Chartered Sport Psychologists who have worked at the highest levels of professional golf and tennis, sharing their strategies for maintaining focus during "clutch" moments.
A significant portion of the day is dedicated to the "Athlete-Centered Approach." This involves understanding the psychological impact of long-term injury and the transition out of professional sport—a critical area of modern sport science. Attendees will participate in interactive "fishbowl" discussions where they can observe and critique consultation styles in a safe, professional environment.
This seminar also addresses the growing need for behavioral change strategies in the general population. How do we apply sport psychology principles to help sedentary individuals adopt a more active lifestyle? This crossover between performance and public health makes the event relevant for those working in NHS settings or community sports programs. Situated in the heart of Leeds, the venue offers a professional and comfortable setting for a day of intensive learning and networking. Join us to refine your approach to the mental side of the game.
