Qualifying for the CrossFit open is in full effect and there are many life lessons you can learn from the athletes and their preparation.    Why do some of them crash and burn? How are some of them so successful? How can the same 5 always be at the top? Why do some handle stress better than others?   The point of this podcast is not to get you ready for the CrossFit Games, but to prepare you well for the big events in your life.   Have you ever:   -Had a huge job interview? -Competed at a high level in anything? -Had to have a difficult conversation with someone? -Faced difficult challenges in life? -Raised kids? -Wanted to pursue mastery in some area?   If the answer is yes to any of these, then this podcast will be very important to you.   Personally, I've always found it interesting that some people always seem to choke, while others thrive under the pressure.   What we cover:

• Why your story holds the secret - 80% of success in high-pressure situations (or self-made high-pressure situations) can be based on what is happening between your ears. The most successful have their mental game figured out. We'll tell you how you can create a unbeatable belief system.
• "Practice does not make perfect; it makes permanent" Do you have the skill set to achieve what you say you want to accomplish? If not, you'd better get those skills and make them automatic.
• The one thing that the most successful and best-performing people fear the most.
• Is it better to focus on your results or the process? The answer to this one might surprise you.
• The path to success is not a straight line - we'll tell you how to best deal with the disappointment.
