Dr. Michael Gervais is the co-founder of online coaching and training platform Compete to Create and host of the Finding Mastery podcast. As a licensed psychologist and industry visionary, Michael focuses most of his time on people at the top of their game, from the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and NBA players to Olympians, military personnel, and corporate leaders.
What you'll learn from this episode:
How not being able to perform athletically under pressure led Michael down a path to investigate how the mind works.
What's the difference between traditional psychology and sport psychology?
How we can use psychological techniques that allow the world's top performers to excel in order to overcome our own hangups and anxieties.
Why Michael considers the hustle mentality overrated, and what will serve us better.
How wisdom differs from knowledge and how we can appreciate the perspective it grants us.
And so much more!
