JacPod To the Last Drop

How champions are made

--:--
What does it take to have a winning mentality? What does it mean to be mentally tough? Can mental toughness be taught? All these teasing questions are answered on the next episode of To The Last Drop with renowned sports psychologist Henning Gericke.
Gericke, a former middle distance athlete of some repute is perhaps best remembered for being part of the Springbok medical team at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Gericke who currently consults with the Bulls also points to the pitfalls parents face when they have young, aspiring sporting talents under their roof.
Hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme also look ahead to Saturday's Test between the Springboks and England at Twickenham.
