Inside the mind of a champion – Dr Ben Rosenblatt on what it really takes to win

In the latest episode of ‘Winning’, Ian Rosenblatt OBE sits down with his son, Dr Benjamin Rosenblatt - an elite performance coach and founder of 292 Performance.

Ben has coached over 1,000 athletes, including Premier League footballers, elite military personnel, and more than 200 world and Olympic medallists. His insights into resilience, mindset and preparation are grounded in years of experience at the highest levels of sport and performance.

From Team GB’s gold medal-winning hockey squad to the England men’s football team, Ben shares what separates good from great, and why self-awareness is critical, whether you're on the pitch, in the boardroom, or on stage. This is a conversation about identity, discipline, and the power of doing the boring things brilliantly.

This podcast is sponsored by Rosenblatt Law and produced by Studio at SEC Newgate UK.
