Summary

My guest today is Michael Gervais, a high performance psychologist. He works with top performers to train and implement skills necessary to pursuing and revealing one’s maximum potential. His clients include world record holders, Olympians, internationally acclaimed artists and musicians, MVPs from every major sport and Fortune 100 CEOs. He is also co-founder of Compete to Create. Part of Michael’s training is helping clients realize there are things we are in control of and things we are not in control of – therefore focus on what you can control. We can train our bodies, our craft and mind. Michael teaches clients through science based research that refining all three of these areas are essential to becoming successful.

The topic is psychology.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Living in the present moment
Mindfulness
High performance training
Grit
