Do you feel like there's too much pressure going on in your life right now, like the

responsibilities are piling up and you feel like you might be just at the point of burning out?

Well, today's guest is a sports psychologist who's worked with some of the top Olympic athletes

and is giving us science-back tools on how to deal with pressure at the highest level.

I'm so excited for you to check this out. So let's go ahead and dive in. I was working with a UFC fighter. He was aware that he would tighten up before he goes into the cage. I said, okay, when you're working to be at your best, like what's happening inside you? He looked at me. He's like, oh, I'm a tough. I said, well, I don't know, can you back that up and he says, yeah, when I was 14, I woke my dad's ass. What we can all learn from that is like, oh, I'm a tough. I said, well, I don't know, can you back that up? And he says, yeah, when I was 14, I w whipped my dad's ass. What we can all learn from that is like, for every epic thought that you want to say to yourself, what are three experiences in your life that give you the right to say that? One of the world's top high performance psychologists and leading experts on the relationship between the mind

and human performance is also the co-creator of the Performance Science Institute, Dr. Mike Dravage.

Do you believe that you have power over how you navigate life? Not what life is going to give you,

but do you believe you have the power to do it? And that is squarely pointing to psychological skills.

What would you say if you could only give three psychological tools for everyday human

beings, elite performers, underperformers on how to have better performance in their own life?

What would those three tools be?

Okay.

So not even a month ago, you were in a full-on car crash head-on collision with someone

going 70 plus miles an hour, you're going around 40 miles an hour, and talk about, you know,

having to try to perform under pressure, you know, a life or death situation.

I'm just curious since this just happened, was there anything within a second, a split second,

that you've learned over the last 20, 30 plus years from your mental performance training

that you felt supported you in that moment at all.

Yeah, that's cool.

In the moment, any moment that has requires speed and accuracy and is as fast as that

as a head-on collision, just forces you to be all present.

It's a forcing function to be completely in tuned in that moment.
