🎧 Podcast episode #9
For over twenty-five years Darren has served as a mental performance coach for teams, coaches and athletes competing in the challenging and high-paced world of elite sport.  He has had the opportunity to work with multiple Olympic and World Champions, athletes and teams competing in the NBA, NFL, and MLB. His passion is coaching his clients to achieve their full potential with a focus on the development of self-awareness and personal mastery. At the team and organization level his work prioritizes the establishment of a learning culture and a motivational climate that promotes character, excellence, and the facilitation of psychological needs. A science practitioner Darren was formerly a tenured Professor at Arizona State University and currently holds an Honorary Professorship at Bath University in the United Kingdom where he continues his research on motivation and human performance.

In this episode I do a deep dive with Darren and get a behind the scenes look in to what makes the mind of a champion.  Athletes are regular people, like you and I, and they come to work with the same issues, anxieties and troubles we all have to deal with.  An often overlooked aspect of Recovery Is the mental aspect of recovery.  More Is not always better especially on the mental side and Darren does a great job discussing what It takes to give athletes the edge they need.
