In any field or endeavor, one of the traits of the top performers is their champion mentality. To be a champion, however, is not about some innate quality you were born with. It is rather about developing a championship mindset, one characterized by the relentless pursuit of excellence and the unwavering belief that anything is possible. 

In today’s episode, Tommy talks with Amber Selking, Founder and Performance Consultant at Selking Performance Group. She works to emphasize the power of mindset and leadership to drive lasting change in businesses, athletic teams, and individual lives. Her dynamic and individualized approach to enhancing performance helps clarify vision, create championship team cultures, and achieve sustainable results.
