Ready for a new perspective on focus and performance? Curious about what you can learn from performers in other fields that can help improve your music life?

For quite a while, I’ve explored what musicians can learn from other high-performance disciplines. This episode brings some golden wisdom to listeners all over the world.

In this special extended episode, two-time Olympic gold medalist and innovator Tad Coffin and I talk about focus, performance, preparation, and the surprising similarities between music and the equestrian world. We discuss rhythm, communication, trust, mindset, and what it really means to perform at a high level.

One of the things I enjoyed most was hearing Tad describe music from the perspective of someone whose career has centered on working in rhythmic harmony with a horse. His insights are thoughtful, practical, and often unexpected.

We talk about his life after the gold and his ongoing quest for high performance that extends beyond the equestrian world without ever leaving it. We also discuss his recent innovations, including the development of his line of eWell wearable energy devices.

Whether you’re a musician, performer, athlete, equestrian, teacher, coach, or simply someone who wants to improve their focus and perform at their best, I think you’ll find something valuable and fascinating in this conversation.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.

ABOUT OUR GUEST TAD COFFIN

2X Olympic Gold Medalist, renowned coach, innovative saddle designer, and eWell pioneer Tad Coffin won Individual and Team Gold Medals at both the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City and the 1976 Summer Olympic Games in Montreal. This month marks the fiftieth anniversary of those Olympic wins.

In the years since those golden moments, Tad has continued his pursuit of peak performance through coaching, groundbreaking saddle design, and more recently his work with the eWell—an energy biohack for wellness—exploring new ways to help people—and their four-legged friends—perform, recover, and live at their best.

Wondering about what creates a musician? Curious about how to create environments where musicians want to keep becoming musicians?

In this episode, we explore the concept of “Educational Blue Zones”—schools that nurture the development of musicians and other creatives, fostering lifelong relationships with creativity. We discuss the educational environments that lay strong foundations for pursuing and sustaining careers in the arts, particularly in music. I also offer up some reflections on my early educational experiences and how they helped shape the evolution of my musical life.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.
