About this episode
The mind games. The pressure. The expectations—external and internal. The mentality. It's another key part to twenty seasons at the top.
Pendles opens up on his mental blueprint: from setting a simple goal of playing ten games in year one to breaking superstitions along the way. He reveals how he’s handled the media and social media noise across his career.
Plus, a pre-season trip to the Gold Coast for match simulation as the season creeps closer.
This is next-level insight from a generational great.
