Talent Just Isn't Enough
“I have heard far too often from performers following a misstep during these defining moments in life. They describe the scene, wishing that they had made different mental choices. They realize too late that they were taken out of their game by the mental chaos. They simply come to the conclusion they weren’t mentally prepared. It generally has very little to do with talent and everything to do with lack of awareness of the mindset that must be implemented to win in that environment.
Every word in “greatness” is to prepare you for these championship-defining moments. These moments don’t come along every day but be prepared as if they do. And often, they come during the tough times of life.…”
If there is one thing I have learned in my 40-year career in sport and performance psychology it is this, talent just isn’t enough. It’s the ability to get talent to come out when it means the most that opens the door to victory. Understanding the first three pillars of greatness—focus, passion, and mental toughness will serve you well in sport, business, or life as you seek to reach your dreams. Come join me on this journey of how to perform your best when it means the most in my latest book, greatness.
