Podcasts about Elite Performance

Elite performance does not come from chasing more hacks. It comes from knowing what matters, cutting what does not, and executing when conditions are not perfect. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Andy Galpin to break down what separates truly high performers from everyone else. From toughness and self-talk to sleep, strength training, and resilience, Dr. Galpin explains why better performance starts with fewer distractions and better constraints. Here's what you'll learn: Why toughness means producing even when the conditions are working against you How to identify the real constraints holding back your energy, focus, and performance What it takes to build resilience through sleep, strength training, and smarter recovery Stop chasing every new protocol. The people who perform at the highest level focus on what actually moves the needle.

Your edge is not how hard you push. It is how fast you recover, reset, and get back on track. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill break down the difference between discipline and rigidity, burnout and misallocated energy, and rest and weakness. From missed workouts and cheat meals to draining team members and recovery as a competitive advantage, this AMMA is a blunt reminder that high performance is not about being perfect. It is about knowing what costs you energy, what restores it, and what you refuse to tolerate. Here's what you'll learn: Why getting off track only matters if you cannot get back on track How to identify the work, people, and habits that drain your energy What it takes to make recovery a competitive advantage instead of a guilty pleasure You do not need to be perfect to stay disciplined. You just need the discipline to come back stronger the next day.

Think you have a focus problem? You don't. But you may have an input problem. Lights. Notifications. Noise. Expectations. Pressure. Boardroom tension. Stadium chaos. Internal chatter you don't admit out loud. And the default solution? "Lock in harder." Mental performance expert, Dr. Lowell Wightman, joins J.R. on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in high performance: Distraction isn't always a discipline issue. It's often overstimulation. Dr. Wightman shares practical tools he uses with professional athletes, executives, and high-pressure teams to help them reset, recalibrate, and regain control of their environment (instead of being quietly diminished by it). If you've been feeling slightly "off"…or heavy. …or out of rhythm. Not burned out, just not sharp… This conversation may expose why. In this episode, you'll hear: Why awareness (not talent) is the true starting point of elite performance How your five senses quietly shape your focus, confidence, and execution The biggest misconception athletes and leaders have about motivation Why motivation isn't hype How to reset under pressure instead of getting overstimulated or distracted Why you have more environmental and psychological control than you think KEY QUOTES "If you're not aware of what's coming, it's hard to generate the skill of engaging your body and mind in a connection that's going to be able to deal with what's coming at you." Dr. Lowell Wightman "When you're clear on your desires…you get less and less distracted." - Dr. Lowell Wightman CONNECT WITH DR.

High-stakes sales puts pressure on the mind before it tests the deal strategy. Reps and leaders have to stay present through judgment, rejection, complex stakeholders, and the weight of the number. Dr. Michael Gervais joins John Kaplan and John McMahon to unpack FOPO, the fear of other people's opinions, and its impact on executive presence, listening, trust, and decision-making. Drawing from his work with Olympians, world champions, Fortune 100 leaders, and elite teams, Dr. Gervais explains how mental skills like awareness, breathing, self-talk, imagery, and honest team dynamics help people operate with more clarity under pressure. The conversation brings performance psychology into the realities of enterprise sales, where long cycles, executive buyers, and high-consequence conversations demand discipline before the moment arrives. Dr. Michael Gervais is a performance psychologist, the founder of Finding Mastery, host of the Finding Mastery podcast, co-creator of the Performance Science Institute at the University of Southern California, and author of The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What People Think of You. He has worked with Olympians, world champions, MMA fighters, Fortune 100 CEOs, and elite teams to help them train their minds for high-pressure performance.

Elite performance is not a personality trait. It is biology, managed intentionally. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Kristen Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, to talk about what health tracking should actually do for you. They break down how to use wearable data without getting trapped in day-to-day noise, why sleep consistency beats chasing perfect sleep duration, and how recovery drives the capacity you need for clear thinking, stable energy, and better decisions. If you want the upside of high output without the crash that usually follows, this conversation gives you the framework. Here's what you'll learn: How to read your data in a way that supports better decisions, not more second-guessing What a strong baseline looks like across HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and VO2 max A simple starting point to stabilize sleep and recovery before you chase optimization If you want to perform like an outlier, start living like your biology matters.

In this episode, I sit down with renowned neuroscientist and performance psychologist, Dr. Gary Sailes to unpack what truly separates elite, world-class performers from everyone else. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level "mental game tips." We dive into identity, trust, discipline, and the misunderstood role of control—especially for high-achieving, type-A individuals like you. Dr. Sailes shares decades of experience working with elite athletes across multiple sports and reveals why the best in the world don't just want success… they need it. We explore how structure creates freedom, how letting go creates control, and why your thoughts quite literally shape your performance. In this episode, you'll learn: The critical difference between being "obsessed" and having a true need to succeed Why elite performers trust their training instead of trying to control every outcome How letting go of conscious control actually leads to peak performance The hidden power of structure and why it eliminates emotional decision-making How your identity and beliefs can quietly cap your performance The difference between performance psychology and applied neuroscience A practical journaling exercise to rewire negative self-talk If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still not performing at your highest level—on the golf course, in business, or in life—this episode will challenge the way you think about improvement and unlock a new level of awareness.

NFL wide receiver Brandin Cooks isn't just known for his speed on the field—he's also building a reputation in the cockpit. In this episode of Behind the Prop, Brandin joins us to share his aviation journey, from earning his private pilot certificate to advancing through instrument training and flying his own Cirrus SR22. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a serious commitment to learning and mastering the craft of flying. We explore the parallels between football and aviation, including how Brandin approaches high-pressure situations, learns complex systems, and maintains discipline across two demanding environments. He also shares why he considers himself a cautious pilot, how he sets personal minimums, and what he's learned about risk management through aviation. Beyond performance, Brandin opens up about how flying has impacted his personal life—giving him a new way to connect with his family and experience freedom outside of the NFL schedule. He also discusses his passion for increasing access to aviation and why representation matters in the industry. Whether you're a pilot, athlete, or someone chasing excellence in any field, this conversation delivers valuable insight into what it truly takes to perform at a high level.

It's made too many good souls exhausted.  And left a ton of our brothers and sisters in the world fearing they are somehow of less value.There are a few remedies. The first is to make sure that where you're productive you're really productive. And when the time for work is over, you make the time to recover.It's really really really important to remember that working hard and stress are not evils (at all!).It's the failure of so many of us to recover and retreat from stress so that we refuel and enjoy life fully that's the real and pressing problem. Readers of my bestselling book “The 5AM Club” are deeply resonating with a concept I share called the Twin Cycles of Elite Performance (T2CEP) - it represents the science that confirms the most productive people on the planet don't work all the time.

What does it actually take to prepare an athlete for a sport where the environment itself is part of the challenge? In this week's episode, Richard Graves sits down with Ryan Blake, Performance Coach, Consultant, and founder of Extreme Sports Performance, to explore the fascinating and often overlooked world of action sports performance. Ryan brings a unique perspective to this conversation. A former action sports athlete himself whose career was cut short by a life-threatening injury, he has since spent over 20 years working across elite sport, academy systems, private education, and national governing bodies, before circling back to the world he started in. Today, he works as a performance consultant for British Water Ski and Wakeboard, Head of Sport Science at St Paul's School in London, and Lead Tutor for the Youth Strength and Conditioning Association. This isn't a conversation about conventional periodisation or standard gym metrics. Ryan challenges the assumptions baked into most traditional performance models and makes a compelling case for why action sports, think X Games, halfpipe snowboarding, freestyle skiing, demand an entirely different approach. One built not around chasing peaks, but around building repeatable, durable performance that holds up under fatigue, variable terrain, and real-world unpredictability. He talks through his Restore, Apply, Own framework in practical terms, explains why training in a fresh state but competing in a fatigued one is one of the most underappreciated problems in sport, and shares how he uses a blend of velocity-based training, jump testing, readiness monitoring, and athlete-specific education tools to close that gap. He also weighs in on the growing use of AI in competition judging, the rapid rise of the X Games League, and why the preparation systems in action sports simply haven't caught up with where the sport is heading. Whether you're a sports scientist, strength and conditioning coach, or simply someone with an interest in how elite performance is built at the fringes of mainstream sport, this is a conversation worth your time. In This Episode You Will Learn Why traditional performance models fall short in action and adventure sports, and what needs to change The difference between performance capacity and durability — and why durability is the more important target in action sports How Ryan's Restore, Apply, Own framework structures athlete preparation from the ground up Why training athletes in a fatigued state is just as important as having them fresh — and how to do it effectively How to use a simple SWOT analysis to identify athlete needs and prioritise support when resources are limited The role of technology in action sports performance, including VBT, jump testing, readiness monitoring, and AI in competition judging Why strength training alone doesn't transfer to sport performance without progression through capacity, application, and environment How the rapid growth of the X Games League and Olympic inclusion is creating both opportunity and a preparation gap in action sports Practical first steps for coaches and athletes looking to engage with a more structured performance system in action sports About Ryan Blake Ryan Blake is a performance coach and consultant specialising in action and adventure sports. He founded Extreme Sports Performance in 2018 after a career that has taken him through elite academy systems, professional sport, private education, and national governing body consultancy. He holds accreditations from both the UKSCA and NSCA, holds an MSc in Maintenance and Enhancement of Elite Performance from the University of Portsmouth, and has worked with world champion athletes and Olympic medallists across disciplines including British Tennis, England Cricket, British Cycling, and now British Water Ski and Wakeboard. Alongside his consultancy work, Ryan serves as Head of Sport Science at St Paul's School in London and as Lead Tutor for the Youth Strength and Conditioning Association. His own background as an action sports athlete — and the life-threatening injury that ended that chapter — underpins his philosophy around risk, durability, and long-term performance.

What happens when everything you have worked for suddenly feels like it is slipping away? In this episode, I sit down with LPGA professional Gina Kim to talk about the emotional toll of losing tour status, the identity crisis that followed, and the deeper work required to rebuild herself from the inside out.  Gina opens up about hitting a true low point in her professional career, questioning whether she even wanted to keep going, and how a new coach, a new process, and a radically different perspective helped her fight her way back. What makes this conversation so powerful is that Gina does not credit her comeback solely to hitting more balls or grinding harder. Instead, she shares how silence, visualization, journaling, self-reflection, and process-driven thinking helped her redefine confidence, reconnect with her purpose, and perform with greater freedom under pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why losing her tour card forced Gina Kim to confront who she needed to become How journaling, visualization, and silent walks helped Kim rebuild her identity The difference between grinding endlessly and practicing with intention How Kim redefined confidence as adaptability instead of perfection Why process, routine, and intention became the foundation of her comeback How to separate a bad performance from your identity Why elite performers fall back on routines instead of rising to the occasion This is an episode about resilience, identity, emotional regulation, and learning how to trust yourself again when the game — and life — stop going your way.

She competed at the highest levels of junior golf before committing to Duke, where she became a key contributor to one of the most competitive teams in college golf. During her time at Duke (2018–2022), she earned multiple collegiate wins and consistent top finishes, became an All-ACC selection and a WGCA All-American honorable mention, and played in the NCAA Championships, serving as a central part of Duke's nationally ranked teams. Kim turned professional in 2022, earning LPGA Tour membership through LPGA Q‑Series — one of the most grueling qualifying processes in professional golf. Since turning pro, she has competed regularly on the LPGA Tour and recorded multiple top-10 finishes early in her professional career.

Losing tour status created the space for self-reflection, identity rebuilding, and a healthier relationship with the game. Visualization, journaling, and silence played a major role in helping Kim mentally rehearse the version of herself she wanted to become. Grinding harder is not always the answer; elite players often practice with more intention, not more volume. Emotional resilience on the course comes from learning how to respond to setbacks rather than collapse after them. Kim's story reinforces that the path back to elite performance often requires surrendering old beliefs and rebuilding from the inside out. Key Quotes: "I cannot wait to get back to work during the off-season. I finally have the time to work on the things I want to work on." "What does the best version of Gina Kim look like? When I step on the tee box, how am I reacting? How am I standing? How am I breathing?" "My psychologist was like, you need to be able to see yourself in order for it to become reality." "Instead of saying I suck, I would say, well, that sucked, that situation sucked, but you know what? We got five holes left." "You don't have the luxury to get upset and let it fall apart when you have a job in front of you." "My version of confidence is I know I'm going to miss a shot out there... but I'm confident enough to adapt to the situation and to find a way out of it." "Elite performers don't rise up to the occasion, they fall back on the routines."

Why youth stars rarely become elite adults—and what coaches and parents should do instead. The jury's in: early youth top performers rarely become top adult performers. This isn't a talent problem—it's a development problem. Jeff sits down with Dr. Arne Güllich to unpack his latest research on elite performers and what actually predicts long‑term success. We break down how Norway and Denmark structure youth sport for broad experiences, later specialization, and higher match quality—then translate it into what you can do this season. You'll learn: Why early dominance doesn't predict elite outcomes and what to prioritize instead. How multi‑sport and multidisciplinary experiences build adaptability, creativity, and faster learning. How to reduce career‑killers like burnout, overuse injuries, and getting stuck in the wrong path. Practical steps coaches and parents can use now to build more coachable, higher‑ceiling athletes. “The truth is—you won't know who ‘has it' until much later than you think. Your job is to build the environment that lets it emerge.” Youth sport may be chaotic, but there is a BIG opportunity is for programs that develop athletes the right way.

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Cahill—a real estate broker and strategist with nearly three decades of experience across every layer of residential real estate—for a powerful conversation on why systems are not restrictive—they're liberating.  Kevin breaks down how the right systems and structure create the space to think clearly, stay present, and perform at a higher level in business, golf, and life.  We explore the difference between systems and structure, why your calendar reveals what actually matters to you, and how so many entrepreneurs unknowingly create stress by refusing to build margin into their day.  In this episode, you'll learn: Why systems help you become more present, focused, and effective The difference between structure and the systems that support it How your calendar reveals your real priorities, not your stated ones Why building margin into your day reduces stress and improves performance How Kevin uses 13-week sprints instead of trying to plan an entire year Why respecting your calendar is a form of self-respect How journaling, reflection, and intentional routines strengthen mindset and energy This episode is a reminder that peak performance is not built on chaos, hustle, and reacting—it's built on clarity, rhythm, and learning how to use systems to support the life you actually want to live.

Instagram: @thepaulsalter Key Takeaways: Systems are not meant to box you in; they free up the energy and attention needed to perform at your best. Structure is the bigger framework, while systems are the tools and processes that help you fulfill that framework. Your calendar and spending habits reveal what truly matters to you more honestly than your words do. Margin and breathing room are essential because a tightly packed schedule creates stress, chaos, and poor decision-making. Thinking in 13-week sprints creates more focus and realistic momentum than trying to map out an entire year. Sustainable high performance requires rest, recovery, and boundaries—not endless hustle. What you focus on expands, so directing your attention intentionally is one of the most important performance skills you can build. Key Quotes: "I don't want to be distracted. And so I think for a lot of people, not having systems or not necessarily having a systematic approach to how they handle their day really gets in the way of them being present." "If it's not in their calendar, it doesn't exist. If it's in their calendar and has to get erased because something just came up, if it's important and anything that's on their calendar should be important, then it has to be replaced." "It's not my massive hustle. I'll outwork anybody. It's my massive desire to relax." "If you're not really looking at your time, the one unreplaceable asset that we all have the exact same amount of, then you're just really not giving yourself the benefit of what I call margin or breathing room."

Former Nebraska national champion and Carolina Panthers Super Bowl safety Mike Minter joins Marcus Aurelius Anderson to share his incredible journey from small-town Oklahoma to championship glory at every level of football. Now a leadership coach and motivational speaker, Minter reveals the culture-building secrets behind winning teams, how he transitioned from player to elite coach, and why true leadership starts with understanding belief systems rather than just behavior. This raw conversation explores what separates championship teams from average ones, the power of detachment in leadership, and how to unlock the one-percenter mindset in yourself and your organization.

Most people assume high performance is complicated. More systems, more strategies, more information.But what if it actually came down to just three things?Performance psychologist Dan Abrahams believes the foundation of elite performance is built on three simple pillars: attention, intensity, and intent.When those three elements align, focus sharpens, energy rises, and performance lifts — whether you're on the field, in the boardroom, or navigating a demanding day.The challenge is that most people drift through their work without consciously training any of them.This Bite Size explores how these three pillars emerged from years of working with elite athletes and teams, and why they remain one of the simplest frameworks for lifting your performance every single day.A short, powerful reminder that performing well often comes back to mastering the fundamentals.Listen to Dan's podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sport-psych-show/id1434313037You can find Dan at his website: https://danabrahams.com/Buy a copy of Dan's books: https://danabrahams.com/books/Connect with Dan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-abrahams-b72a306/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

You've lived in moments where one emotional decision can cost you a stack of chips… or three strokes in 90 seconds. And that's why this conversation with Alex Huang hits so hard. Alex breaks down how poker "tilt" and golf blow-up holes are the same problem in different clothing: impulsivity, entitlement, and emotion hijacking decision-making. We talk long-run thinking, why variance (aka luck) doesn't excuse bad process, and how numbers can act like "bowling bumpers" that keep you from derailing when your expectations outpace reality. You'll also hear Alex's best frameworks for talking players off the ledge after a mistake, why elite players obsess over reflection (even after shooting low), and the single message he'd put on a billboard every golfer would see: process, not results. In this episode, you'll learn: Why impulsivity in golf is just "tilt" with a scorecard How to think in "the long run" so one hole doesn't define your round How variance + luck can still coexist with elite decision-making Why 15-foot putts deserve realistic expectations (and calmer emotions) How data creates objectivity without crushing feel-based players Where ego and entitlement bleed strokes (especially par 5s + short par 4s) How elite players reflect, catalog "feels," and build resilient performance Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Apply for 1-1 High-Performance Hypnotherapy and Mindset Coaching: Click here to apply to work with me.

The long-run mindset protects you from chasing: one bad swing doesn't require a heroic response. Variance is real: a good decision can produce a bad outcome (divots, bounces, gusts) and still be the right play. Numbers act like bowling bumpers—keeping you from going so aggressive you create doubles and triples. "Should" is a red-flag word: entitlement (par 5s, wedges, short par 4s) is where blow-ups are born. When emotions spike, win the next moment: get hyper-specific on the target and stack micro-wins (GIR, 10% rule, speed). Elite players invest in reflection and documentation—especially when playing well—so they can return to what works faster. Key Quotes: "One catastrophic decision or one downward spiral where you're kind of chasing a previously bad decision — as we used in poker the term tilt — that can lead to your demise. You blink, you make a triple bogey because you got a bit greedy or a bit thoughtless or reckless with the strategy." "Just because you lost your pot going all in with aces pre-flop does not mean in hindsight you now look back and say, I should have folded. Much the same way with golf… you pick a good target, you make a committed swing… maybe you get unlucky and you wind up in a divot." "If I gave you a full deck of cards and I asked you to draw a diamond out of it and you drew a spade, would you be ticked off? No, right. But then how many times have they stood over a 14 or 15 foot putt upset that they didn't make it?" "You can't control where your shot ends up within its shot pattern. You can't control the bounces you're going to get. But what you can control is making a committed swing at your target and dealing with the results."

Most golfers think performance is a two-part equation: talent + hard work. Craig Domann says that's exactly why so many players stay stuck—because when results don't match effort, they start hunting for shortcuts: a new driver, a new swing coach, a new "hack" to finally feel confident. But Craig's worked with 300+ NFL athletes and coaches over 30 years, and he's seen the real separator up close: Mindset is the multiplier. Not the motivational-poster version of mindset—Craig means your story, your standards, your ability to play an inside game (you vs. you), and your capacity to detach from outcomes when the moment gets loud. This conversation is a blueprint for anyone chasing the next level—on the course, in business, and in life—especially if you've ever felt behind before you even tee it up. In this episode, you'll learn: Why mindset is the missing variable that lets you outperform your "expected" ceiling How your inner story shows up in "Olympic moments" (first tee, final holes, big meetings) The difference between playing an inside game vs. outside game (and why 90% get trapped) Why "going all-in" requires vulnerability—and how fear of judgment keeps you small The hidden enemy of elite performance: comfort, convenience, and entitlement How to use detachment to access flow when stakes, money, or validation creep in Craig's P5 framework: Preparation, Practice, Pit Crew, Preview, Process Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Apply for 1-1 Mindset and Performance Coaching: Click here to apply to work with me.

Your "Olympic moment" story is the real story: what you tell yourself when you're outdriven, on the first tee, or protecting a lead is what determines execution. Self-belief is built on self-love: most people carry years of "trash" and scar tissue into every round unless they learn to release it and rewrite the narrative. Elite performers play an inside game: less comparison, less social-media validation, more "me vs. me" autonomy and self-trust under pressure. Going all-in is the true price of elite: it's vulnerable (like showing your cards in poker), and most people avoid that exposure more than they want to win. Detachment unlocks flow: counting money, accolades, sponsors, or "what this means" creates interference; "nothing to lose" is why comebacks happen. Comfort competes with success: entitlement and convenience justify skipped reps; rest matters, but it must be scheduled intentionally and paired with proper pace. Key Quotes: "When you add your God given ability, plus the training and the hard work you put in, and then your mindset, you can actually outperform what people think you should be able to do." "The story that shows up in those Olympic moments… is the story we tell ourselves." "It's belief in love. It's self-belief and self-love." "They have the uncanny ability to play an inside game instead of an outside game." "To truly be elite, you've got to have the courage and the guts to go all in with no safety net." "The best place to reside is to be in the uncomfortable zone." "The story you tell yourself needs to be on that billboard… because that's your swing thought."

Dhruva and I explore both sides of the debate, starting with the case for fully remote organizations. Remote work expands the talent pool beyond geography, allowing companies to access exceptional people wherever they live. It can reduce bias linked to physical presence and office politics, and it often enables deeper focus without constant interruption. Asynchronous communication can sharpen thinking, improve documentation, and create clearer decision trails. Flexibility can also preserve energy and prevent burnout, which is critical for sustaining long term elite performance.From there, we examine the counterargument. Elite performance cultures often rely on talent opportunity bridging, where proximity accelerates access to stretch roles, mentorship, and high visibility work. Informal trust networks can move faster than formal systems. Serendipity matters, and non work conversations frequently spark breakthrough ideas. When solving difficult problems, reduced lag time and rapid back and forth can compound into a meaningful advantage. Work has historically created strong social bonds as well, from industry towns to innovation hubs, where shared space reinforced shared ambition.We unpack whether elite cultures are built on flexibility and design or on density and shared presence, and what fully remote companies must do if they want to maintain exceptional standards rather than drift toward average.

Somewhere in your life right now, indecision is costing you. There's a conversation you've been avoiding. A move in business you've been hesitating to make. A commitment to your game you keep postponing. And every single day you delay, it drains your energy, erodes your confidence, and chips away at your self-trust. In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I break down why indecision is one of the most destructive habits high performers fall into—and how it silently sabotages your performance on the golf course, in business, and at home. We unpack the science behind cognitive load, the Zeigarnik effect, and decision fatigue to understand why "thinking about it" is often more exhausting than simply acting. I share powerful reframes, personal examples, and practical tools to help you close open loops, reclaim your mental bandwidth, and build confidence through decisive action. In this episode, you'll learn: Why indecision creates cognitive overload and drains your mental performance How open mental loops (the Zeigarnik effect) silently exhaust your energy Why indecision is often avoidance dressed up as analysis The difference between gathering information and delaying courage How decisive action builds identity-level confidence Why "what if it works?" is the more powerful question Practical prompts to help you close the loop and act today If you're serious about becoming a scratch golfer, scaling your business, or becoming the man you know you're capable of being—this is the episode that challenges you to finally make the decision you already know needs to be made.

Your brain hates uncertainty. Open loops drain energy until you close them. Waiting for certainty kills momentum; decisiveness builds clarity and confidence.

On this episode of the pregnantish podcast, we sit down with U.S. sprinter, Olympic 2024 Bronze Medalist and Athlos Champion, Brittany Brown, for an honest conversation about what it means to go the distance when your body is both your instrument and your battleground.Brittany shares her unconventional path to the Olympic podium—and how that journey led her to speak openly about the realities women, especially Black women, face in medicine and in sport.At the heart of this episode is Brittany's experience living with endometriosis: years of debilitating pelvic pain, medical dismissal, and the long road to diagnosis. She opens up about realizing something wasn't normal, the dead ends she hit searching for answers, and the alarming medical advice she received before finally being diagnosed in 2023 through the USOPC network. She also reflects on the emotional journey that followed- the relief at being validated, paired with difficult questions about fertility, egg freezing, timing, and access, even as an elite athlete in the middle of a competitive season.Perhaps most powerful is Brittany's honesty about the risk of telling the truth publicly. In a world where contracts, sponsorships, and perception matter, she shares the very real fear of disclosure and the unexpected reward: connection, community, and a flood of women and athletes also navigating infertility diagnoses. Presented by Tru Niagen, the episode also features a special mid-roll conversation with Dr. Yasmeen Nkrumah-Elie, Global Director of External Research at Niagen Bioscience, exploring mitochondrial health, NAD+, inflammation, and why cellular energy matters for both athletic performance and reproductive health.

This episode is brought to you by Timeline, Strong Coffee Company and Fatty15. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, performance coach Natalie Hummel reframes what it truly means to be a high performer—arguing that excellence isn't built through discipline, talent, or mindset alone, but through nervous system mastery. Natalie explains how fear, pressure, and self-sabotage are not problems to eliminate but sensations to build capacity for, and why separating sensation from story is the key to performing with ease under stress. Together, we will explore identity, upper limits, resilience, flow states, and what high performance looks like in everyday life. This conversation offers a grounded, practical, and deeply human approach to performance—one rooted in presence, self-mastery, and the courage to feel what most people avoid.
