I would oftentimes practice in a practice or even in a game to say like how many plays if there was like you know on a defensive side you know 60 or 65 how many of those plays could I be fully locked in not thinking about the next play the next thing and really on that moment to see what you know is best to shift into and so same thing at practice. Somebody's pulling on you or trying to distract you or asking you a question, like, how many plays, if there was 30 or 35 plays at practice, could I be fully present, feet on the ground, locked in for those six or seven seconds. Okay, welcome back or

the finding.

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast.

Tell you what, I love this community.

Now, it seems like now more than ever, but I've said that plenty of times,

as we continue to grow and as we

continue to support and challenge each other. God I just love what we're doing.

So by trade and training, I'm a sport performance psychologist. My name is Michael Jervay, and also I'm the co-founder of Compete to Create.

And this community that we have, it's timely because we are connected and we've always been connected digitally.

And so I just, I don't, you know, I'm trying to sort out, is this podcast best served as a bit of entertainment, of relief from the everyday kind of doom and

gloom that we find on the news and some of the high stress moments or is it meant to

be part of the solution? And I'm straddling both.

And so this conversation is about the depth

and the art of becoming.

And we're always reinventing who we are. And you know the next version of ourselves is out there

It's available and this conversation is definitely about that but the whole idea behind the podcast is to understand from people who have committed their life efforts towards mastery.

And we want to do that by understanding how did they condition and train their mind and how do they organize their inner life? What are they searching for, how do they deal with setbacks and

obstacles.

And right now, like the whole library, the almost 300 episodes that we've had so far. The library is really about dealing with challenges and right now we are in it.

And so I hope you're doing well. Like I mean that from the bottom of my heart and some of you are thriving in this time.

You know you're an introvert, you love being by yourself, you're doing some of your best work because

you're writing and you're committed to whatever it is that you're doing.
