Summary

Michael Gervais, a high-performance psychologist and the host of the podcast Finding Mastery, always loved sports. But he says he struggled “above the neck.” His own mental blocks got in the way when it came time to compete. Gervais got curious about this: How do we perform at our highest potential? He did a lot of research, and he decided that competition was great but that it goes wrong when we’re trying to compete to be better than other people. Today, he helps people become the best versions of themselves (whether they’re a pro athlete or not). He teaches people how to “train our craft, body, and mind.” And to live in the present moment, where he says all our potential lies. (For more, see The goop Podcast hub.)

0:00.0	You're listening to the Goop podcast made possible by our friends at Kettle One Botanical.
0:14.0	I grew up in Montana, which I know I talk about a lot. And as much as I love my Montana childhood
0:19.6	and living in LA now, I do miss some things from when I lived on the East Coast, particularly the
0:25.3	summer vibe. I don't know if you've heard, but we don't really have seasons in Los Angeles.
0:30.7	This summer, I'll be spending some time back east and hanging at Goop's pop-up shop in
0:35.3	SAG Harbor. It's special for a few reasons. One is that it's outfitted with a custom Chris Earl
0:40.7	Barcar and stocked with Kettle One Botanical. We'll be hosting a few events there throughout the summer
0:46.0	and serving some pretty Goopy cocktails. Kettle One Botanical, for the uninitiated, is vodka distilled
0:52.4	with real botanicals and made with non-GMO grain. There's no sugar and no artificial sweeteners
0:58.2	or flavors. I'd love to share a cocktail with you in SAG Harbor, but either way, you can order
1:03.6	your own Kettle One Botanical at drizzly.com. Don't hold anything too tightly. Just wish for it,
1:16.1	want it, let it come from the intention of real truth for you, and then let it go.
1:22.7	For me, our soul is like it's unbound, it's limitless, but we will use words to limit ourselves.
1:30.0	When people stop believing that somebody's got your back or Superman's coming, we turn to ourselves,
1:37.4	and that's where you become empowered. Courageous participation attracts positive things.
1:44.9	I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. This is the Goop podcast, bringing together thought leaders,
1:50.7	culture changers, creatives, founders and CEOs, scientists, doctors, healers, and seekers.
1:57.6	Here to start conversations, because simply asking questions and listening has the power to change
2:03.2	the way we see the world. Today is no exception. I'll let Elise fill you in on her extraordinary guest.
2:10.2	All right, over to Elise. Michael Jervet is a renowned expert in high-performance psychology.
2:17.6	He's the co-founder of Compete to Create, and he's also the host of his own podcast,
2:22.1	Finding Mastery. Today we're talking about just that, high-performance psychology,
