The Competitive Edge. | 1. Choking Under Pressure

In our debut episode of "The Competitive Edge" we speak to Dr.
Vanessa Wergin, a researcher at TUM’s Chair of Sport Psychology
and an expert in team psychology and emotional regulation in team
sports. Dr. Wergin speaks to us about collective team collapse, a
phenomenon within competitive sport that can be perceived as an
entire group failing together. We explore the psychology behind
this sudden dip in performance within teams, and Dr. Wergin
shares insights into how it happens and some tips on how we might
be better prepared to combat it.
