What does it take to achieve the extraordinary? It turns out mindset is a vast part of becoming an Olympic champion. Today, we’ll hear from author, Olympic gold medalist, and performance coach Joe Jacobi. 

 

I’m so happy to welcome Joe back to the podcast to share some important lessons from his latest book Slalom: 6 River Classes About How To Confront Obstacles, Advance Amid Uncertainty, & Bring Focus To What Matters Most. 

 

Using the river as a metaphor for life, Joe’s latest work is a must-read packed with inspiring ideas on navigating uncertainty. In this episode, he talks about how we can start developing the momentum and skills for taking on the bigger confrontations of life.

 

We discussed:

 

• What we need to really focus on during the pursuit of contentment
• How the standards of American culture challenge our peace of mind
• Why comparing ourselves to others isn’t necessarily a bad thing
• How we can manage our daily energy levels more effectively
• 3 important questions to start asking yourself every day
• Why we typically get our perception of life’s obstacles all wrong
• The first step to doing the things we want to achieve in our lives
