Think Like a Champion, Lead Like One

Mike Way, Head Coach, Harvard University’s Squash Programme

Think Like a Champion, Lead Like One

Elite athletes spend years sharpening their minds, not just their skills. But what can business leaders learn from that discipline?

Today, Mike Way, the head coach of Harvard University’s squash programme, and Bharati Suresh Chand, Founder of Global Edge Pharma and Global Edge Consultancy, discuss how mental fitness shapes performance, decision-making, and consistency. They explain what separates mentally strong performers from talented ones, how pressure influences behaviour, and the habits that help athletes and leaders stay composed and focused.

They also reflect on insights shared at the recent Mental Fitness Sports Conference 2025, and discuss practical routines organisations can adopt to build healthier, steadier teams.
