Who are you calling old? When you look at the world's greatest athletes, past and increasingly present, you'll notice that many of them are past what we would consider "prime age" for peak sports performance. One example is NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who is over 40 years old. Despite already winning multiple Super Bowl championships and being the fifth-oldest player in the League, Tom shows no signs of slowing down and proves he can still improve his performance. How can one maintain or achieve such elite performance in the face of natural aging? This was the question that drove Jeff Bercovici, the San Francisco bureau chief of Inc and an athlete in his own right, on a quest to find the answer. After talking to top players, coaches, and sports scientists, such as the aforementioned Tom Brady, Serena Williams, and Carli Lloyd, he laid out all his learnings in his book "Play On: The New Science of Elite Performance At Any Age". In this discussion, you'll discover: - The common misconceptions of famous athletes and their training - The most valuable tips & advice Jeff learned from his research and then implemented to reach his physical prime - Musing over the concept of immortality...would you choose to live forever?

It’s important to have goals, but being fixated on the end result can actually be a huge obstacle to your overall success. Whether you’re trying to top a personal record at the gym, or drop some pounds before a vacation, there will frequently be times that you will fall short. And that’s okay, because it’s part of the process that forges greatness. If you can flip the switch in your mind to become process-oriented instead of results-oriented, a whole new world of joy and success will open up for you. How you react in those difficult moments can be a powerful testimony to your strength. If you accept defeat and stop moving toward your goal, you will have gained nothing. But if you can understand that hardship is simply part of the process, you’ll come out stronger on the other end. Success isn’t strictly about results. Part of the journey is embracing the process and gaining experience along the way. Our guest for today’s show is Jeff Bercovici, journalist, athlete, and author of the mind-blowing book, Play On. He is sharing his insights and extensive research from his new book, including what makes longtime professional athletes successful, and the keys to quick recovery. Jeff has put in the work to help you implement the strategies (and science!) necessary to perform at a higher level for years to come. In this episode you’ll discover: The scientifically proven benefits of massage therapy. The difference between strength and power. Which function of our muscles decline first with age (and how to keep it stronger, longer!). The intriguing science behind antagonist muscle activation. How exercise can work as a virtual fountain of youth. The surprising way exercise affects your brain’s gray matter. How balancing freshness and fitnesscan maximize your performance. What muscular compensations are (and how they can lead to injury). The incredible emergent technology behind calculating injury risk. How one NBA coach changed the paradigm around rest and recovery. What proprioception is, and how it can help you prevent injuries. The psychological and physiological traits that elite older athletes have in common. The profound impact of high intensity interval training(and how it relates to longevity). What chunking is and how it can speed up your mental processing. Why learning to love the processand experiencing joy leads to greatness. The incredible benefits of being process-oriented.
