Podcasts about Elite Performance

What if everything you believe about your brain inevitably slowing down with age is simply wrong, and you have far more control than you ever imagined? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with neuroscientist, performance coach, and self-described "elite-level professional nerd" Dr. Tommy Wood to dismantle the myth that cognitive decline is destiny. Drawing on his work treating brain injury, advising Formula 1 drivers, and his new book, “The Stimulated Mind,” Dr. Wood lays out a simple framework for keeping your brain sharp at any age, and explains why the small, daily inputs matter far more than you think. For high performers running hard and recovering little, this is the wake-up call your brain has been waiting for. Here's what you'll learn: Why your brain can adapt and improve at any age, and how your expectations alone can change the outcome How to apply the three-S model (stimulus, supply, support) to protect cognitive function for life What it takes to use AI as a tool that sharpens your skills instead of quietly eroding them Your brain is not on a fixed downward path, and this episode is your blueprint for proving it.

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.

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.

In Episode 138 of The Powerlifter's Den, Cam sits down with one of the most respected coaches and thinkers in powerlifting, Mike Tuchscherer. As the founder of Reactive Training Systems and a coach with nearly 30 years in the sport, Mike has helped shape modern approaches to training through data driven decision making, individualized programming, and structured experimentation.We dive deep into fatigue management, emerging training strategies, and velocity based training (VBT), discussing how lifters can make better in the moment decisions instead of blindly following a spreadsheet. Mike also breaks down common misconceptions around performance, why you do not need to feel your best to perform your best, and how predictable preparation leads to consistent results on the platform.From world level coaching to long term injury management and building systems that actually work in the real world, this episode is packed with practical insight for lifters, coaches, and anyone trying to train smarter.

In today's episode, I sit down with Patrice Evra, former Manchester United and France captain, to talk about what it really takes to win at the highest level. We get into the mindset of becoming a “monster” in pursuit of greatness, and the sacrifices that come with it, from family strain to personal loss. Patrice shares how his upbringing shaped his resilience, why he was never driven by money, and how success can come at the cost of connection. We also talk about healing from past trauma, finding purpose after football, and why giving back and staying present now defines his version of happiness.

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.

All this pressure to be productive, all the time, no matter what the season, has made many among us see ourselves as unsuccessful. 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.

Click here to learn more and DM me "identity upgrade" on Instagram (@thepaulsalter) to learn more.  More About Gina Kim Gina Kim is a professional golfer on the LPGA Tour who played collegiate golf at Duke University, one of the premier programs in women's college golf. 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. Episode Highlights [0:59] Introduction to Mike Minter: Former NFL player, college football national champion, and leadership coach who has achieved excellence at every level from youth football through the Super Bowl. [6:15] Championship Culture at Nebraska: Mike breaks down why the 1995 Nebraska team was the greatest college football team in history and how they built an unstoppable culture of excellence. [16:38] The Secret Sauce of Winning Teams: The critical difference between championship and losing teams - leadership drives culture, and culture is built on shared belief systems, not just behavior modification.

Mike Minter is a former NFL safety who played 10 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, earning a trip to Super Bowl XXXVIII. Before his professional career, he was a two-time national champion at the University of Nebraska (1994, 1995), playing on what many consider the greatest college football team of all time. After retiring from the NFL, Mike transitioned into coaching, leading his high school team to multiple state championships before becoming a college head coach. Today, he serves as a leadership and mindset coach, working with CEOs, executives, and high-performing teams to help them build championship cultures in their organizations.

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."

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.
