Description
After Rory McIlroy's decision to take a break from Golf - following his US Open collapse - The Sports Agents explore how a unique set of challenges have taken their toll on one of the best players in the world and how elite athletes cope with failure...
2010 Ryder Cup-winning captain & 5-time Major Runner-up Colin Montgomerie joins Gabby & Mark to discuss the extreme psychological test the sport provides and reflects on his own US Open meltdown.
Sports Psychologist & Golf performance coach of Jon Adler also reveals the techniques the pros need to master in order to manage pressure situations like a putt to win a major or, as we're in Berlin for the Euros, a penalty shootout!
