Podcasts about Elite Performance

In this throwback episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with Travin and Britni Gray of REVV Health for a powerful conversation about why YOUR health can't be something you plan to deal with later.After experiencing their own frustrating health challenges and struggling to find answers, Travin and Britni turned those experiences into a mission to help others become stronger advocates for their health. They share how discipline, preventative care, understanding YOUR body, and making intentional lifestyle choices can completely change the way you feel, perform, and live.Ben also opens up about why health has become such an important part of his own pursuit of elite performance. The conversation challenges us to stop waiting until something goes wrong and start paying attention to the details today—because success in business means very little if you sacrifice YOUR health along the way.This episode is a reminder that elite performance isn't just about how hard you work. It's about having the discipline to take care of yourself, build habits that last, and make decisions today that give you the opportunity to be there for the people who matter most tomorrow.YOUR health is part of YOUR legacy. Don't wait until it's too late to start treating it that way.************************************Connect with Guests:Travin Gray Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travin_revvhealth/Britni Gray Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/britni_revvhealth/REVV Website: https://revv.health/************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sKX5ktQKngEListen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

What drives someone to pursue not just one extraordinary path, but two? Olympic gold medalist and physician Imogen Grant has devoted herself to two radically different disciplines, medicine and rowing, and somehow managed to reach the pinnacle of both. But listening to her speak about the human body, "the perfect stroke," and what draws her so deeply into each, and the divide between them starts to disappear. She brings a rare depth and poetry to the things she does, with an endlessly curious, deeply disciplined nature and a genuine fascination with discovery. She also gets candid about nutrition, injury, and what it takes to prepare for LA28, offering a glimpse of the life behind the medals and the making of someone who has turned living into an art form. What we discuss: How she brings both a creative and scientific mind to medicine and rowing and manages the demands of doing both. Her experience with the IOC and Olympic facilities working to accommodate her dietary needs. Her thoughts on the LA 2028 Olympics, where she is in her preparations, and the mindset that is guiding her. Her thoughts on peptides and what actually matters most when it comes to supporting your health. How she handles injury, including a rib stress fracture caused by rowing and how she knew when her body was ready to return to the sport. The books she's currently enjoying and how reading fits into her life alongside training. Her personal mantra.  Resources:  https://www.instagram.com/imogendaisyg/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@imogendaisyg 1 Million Tables Click the link below to learn about the FISCAL Act (S. 222) https://switch4good.org/fiscal-act/ Share the website and get your resources here https://kidsandmilk.org/ Dairy-Free Swaps Guide: Easy Anti-Inflammatory Meals, Recipes, and Tips https://switch4good.org/dairy-free-swaps-guide SUPPORT SWITCH4GOOD https://switch4good.org/support-us/ ★☆★ JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ★☆★  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat ★☆★ SWITCH4GOOD WEBSITE ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/ ★☆★ ONLINE STORE ★☆★ https://shop.switch4good.org/shop/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM ★☆★ https://www.instagram.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ★☆★ https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ SUBSTACK ★☆★ https://dotsiebausch.substack.com/ ★☆★ AMAZON STORE ★☆★ https://www.amazon.com/shop/switch4good

Most entrepreneurs mistake discomfort for danger. That single mistake keeps them from having difficult conversations, making bold decisions, and building the business they actually want. Entrepreneur Niels Zee shares how one breath hold exercise exposed the same survival instincts driving his business decisions, and how learning to stay calm under water changed the way he leads, negotiates, and handles conflict in his business.In this episode, Niels breaks down how he resolved years of tension with his co-founder, why avoiding uncomfortable conversations quietly drains your ambition, and the exact mental frameworks that let you perform when the pressure is highest.Topics covered:The framework for difficult conversations that keeps everyone calm and cool headedHow to spot hidden resentment that destroys motivationHow to become 4.3x more capable in 2 daysConnect with Niels: https://www.linkedin.com/in/niels-zee/Read the article: https://itamarmarani.com/how-to-become-4-3x-more-capable-in-two-days/*Get the "Elite Performance" book at https://itamarmarani.com/book/If you're ready to get unstuck and take both yourself and your business to the next level, apply to The Arena here: https://itamarmarani.com/applyGet the Extreme Clarity Tool To Uncover The #1 Action To Grow Your Business: https://itamarmarani.com/claritySign up for “3 Quick Ideas Tuesday” (weekly 2 minute newsletter around mindset and emotional fortitude): https://itamarmarani.com/3-ideas/

What if the data you're obsessing over is the very thing capping how far you can go? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Andy Walshe, the human performance leader behind Red Bull's high-performance program and the Felix Baumgartner stratosphere jump. They dig into why the metrics everyone chases can only take you so far, and why the traits that truly separate elite performers (character, creativity, how you show up when it's hard) are the ones almost no one is actually training. It's a look under the hood of what elite performance really requires when the stakes are highest. Here's what you'll learn: How character, not metrics, can be the real dividing line between good and elite How to train creativity as a skill instead of treating it as a gift you're born with What it takes to perform under extreme pressure when everything is on the line If you've been optimizing the measurable and ignoring the human, this is your wake-up call.

"When results dip, you think: let me occupy my brain with something new that I don't have rejection on yet. Nothing has failed there. It feels safer. It is the recipe for disaster."Most entrepreneurs are basing their confidence on the wrong thing, and it's costing them deals, momentum, and peace of mind. Crypto and media entrepreneur Antoine Rousseaux breaks down why skill confidence beats revenue confidence when it comes to deal making.In this episode, Antoine reveals how he navigated extreme crypto market volatility, built a media-first business from scratch, and discovered how peace of mind can be a revenue multiplier, not a luxury.Topics covered:Why shiny object syndrome is a self-trust problem, not a focus problemHow patience, built on skill confidence, wins negotiations before they startThe "offseason" business strategy: how to build your war chest during slow or volatile marketsWhy your entrepreneur mindset is worth more than your current revenue streamConnect with Antoine:https://www.youtube.com/@HandsomeFinancehttps://x.com/AntoineRSX*Get the "Elite Performance" book at https://itamarmarani.com/book/If you're ready to get unstuck and take both yourself and your business to the next level, apply to The Arena here: https://itamarmarani.com/applyGet the Extreme Clarity Tool To Uncover The #1 Action To Grow Your Business: https://itamarmarani.com/claritySign up for “3 Quick Ideas Tuesday” (weekly 2 minute newsletter around mindset and emotional fortitude): https://itamarmarani.com/3-ideas/

In this episode of the Science for Sport Podcast, Richard Graves welcomes back Dr Warren Bradley, Co-Founder and Head of Elite Performance at Hytro, to explore how blood flow restriction is being used at the highest level of sport. With the biggest World Cup in history placing huge demands on players, staff, travel logistics, recovery windows and match preparation, Warren explains where BFR now fits inside elite performance environments. This conversation goes beyond the basic idea of BFR as a recovery tool. Warren breaks down how it can be used to support circulation, tissue preparation, injury risk reduction, return-to-play, long-haul travel strategies and squad-wide recovery workflows. He also discusses the challenge every practitioner will recognise: how to balance research, data, individualisation and real-world practicality when time is limited and performance outcomes matter. For coaches, sports scientists, physios and performance staff working in elite sport, this episode gives a clear look at how BFR is being applied in tournament football and why the next stage of recovery science may be less about collecting more data, and more about using meaningful interventions consistently. In this episode you will learn What blood flow restriction is and why its application has changed in elite sport How BFR can be used for recovery, tissue priming, warm-ups and travel support Why long-haul travel creates a major performance challenge during tournament football How teams are adapting BFR protocols to fit real-world environments, including pools, the sea, flights and pitch-based warm-ups Where BFR can help bridge the gap between low-grade injury and return-to-pla Why Warren believes circulation is becoming a major focus in modern recovery science How elite teams balance scientific precision with practical use across a full squad Why highly specific numbers can sometimes become a barrier to implementation How BFR protocols can be individualised without overcomplicating delivery What Warren would study if he had unlimited access to World Cup players, wearables and performance data About Dr Warren Bradley Dr Warren Bradley is Co-Founder and Head of Elite Performance at Hytro, a company specialising in wearable blood flow restriction technology for performance, recovery and rehabilitation. A sports scientist by trade, Warren has spent more than a decade working in professional sport, including Premier League football and international rugby. He completed a PhD in exercise physiology and has focused much of his work on making blood flow restriction safer, more practical and more accessible for athletes and practitioners. Through Hytro, Warren works with elite teams and athletes across world sport, helping them apply BFR in realistic performance environments — from training grounds and recovery rooms to tournament travel, warm-ups and matchday preparation.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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."
