George Mumford was the mindfulness coach for Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and the Bulls and Lakers dynasties. Brian Johnson trains Navy SEALs and Olympic teams through his platform Heroic. All three sit down for the first episode of The Inner Game Podcast — and before the end, I ask them to coach me on something I'm wrestling with. This is a masterclass in mental performance, self-talk and sports psychology from the coaches behind 28 Olympic medals, the Bulls and Lakers dynasties, the Navy SEALs and Olympic teams. They break down why nine out of ten thoughts run negative under pressure, how to get out of survival mode, and the self-talk rule Michael Jordan never broke. You'll learn how the best coaches in the world handle failure, visualization, focus and the voice in your head, and how to train your mind for your next race, match or tournament. — Audio/Listen only: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
