This episode is about the psychology of excellence.
Michael Gervais is a high performance psychologist working in the trenches of high-stakes environments with some of the best in the world, training the mindset skills and practices essential to pursuing and revealing one’s potential. His clients include world record holders, Olympians, internationally acclaimed artists and musicians, MVPs from every major sport and Fortune 100 CEOs. He was part of the team for the Red Bull Stratos mission to transcend human limits. This is where Felix Baumgertner made a freefall jump from 128,100 feet being the first human to break the sound barrier without a capsule!
He recently returned from the Tokyo Olympics where he was part of the USA Surfing team and Carissa Moore brought home the Gold medal!
