106 - Mastering Mental Performance with Sports Psychologist Alex Auerbach
About this episode
From years of experience working with NBA players, CEOs, para jumpers, and Olympians, performance psychologist Alex Auerbach has learned about the most effective strategies for giving some of the world's most elite performers a mental edge. Today, he walks us through how to use those tools in our own life: how to manage pressure, performance anxiety, and impostor syndrome; how to think through setting goals (including the difference between outcome, performance, and process goals—and which you should focus on); how to master the art of self-regulated learning through deliberate practice; and how to stay present and focused despite not being at full capacity.
