Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais

5x Olympian Kerri Walsh Jennings on Pressure, Greatness, and Resilience


Listen Later

What does it take to cultivate a mindset that thrives on challenge and discomfort?... To have the courage to be radically honest with yourself to experience extraordinary growth?

And how can having that courage lead to personal growth and winning multiple times on the world-stage?

Today we’re joined by the legendary Kerri Walsh Jennings. Kerri is a five-time Olympian with three gold medals and one bronze medal – the most decorated beach volleyball player in history, known for her relentless pursuit of growth on and off the court. 

Kerri and I got to catch up in Paris during the Olympics – it was such a joy to reconnect, to learn from her, and to reminisce on some of the work we had done together years ago. 

There’s no one like her. Her fire, her care for others, her commitment to be her very best as a competitor, a wife, a mother, and a friend is all part of her recipe to becoming one of the all-time greats in her sport. 

Her unique mindset allows her to embrace challenges, redefine failure, and lean into the full spectrum of human experience.

We all have adversity - she walks us through how she uses it for growth and sustained success. I’m so excited to share it with you.
