Cognitive Techniques for Building Confidence and Enhancing Performance @ Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) : From National Athletes to Transformational Leaders in Malaysia

The National Sports Institute of Malaysia (ISN) continued its 2025 Sports Psychology Workshop Series with Session 04, titled “Cognitive Techniques for Building Confidence and Enhancing Performance”, featuring Dr. Koo Kian Yong (Hiro) and the expert team from New Mind Academy.

While this high-impact workshop was designed for national athletes, the cognitive strategies shared—such as mental reframing, focus training, and confidence anchoring, are equally powerful for corporate professionals and executive teams seeking peak performance. With Malaysia’s organizational landscape growing increasingly competitive, these techniques are now being adopted in corporate training programs to develop resilient leaders and high-performing teams.

Held at ISN’s new facility in Bukit Jalil, this 4-hour session exemplifies how sports psychology is making its way into corporate leadership development, offering a science-backed path for companies aiming to boost productivity, reduce stress, and cultivate a winning mindset.
