For today’s episode, I’m joined by Dave Laughlin!

Dave is the director of assessment and skill acquisition at Courtex performance 

Courtex is a mental performance and leadership program that specializes in working with athletes.

Dave is in charge of Courtex's assessment and research operations, and provides mental training services to select clients. As a former collegiate athlete and coach, and current college professor, Dave understands the mental game in both theory and application. He has worked closely with players, coaches, and executives across the NBA, MLB, and NCAA. 

Dave has provided NBA Pre-Draft consulting services to multiple organizations, including the Miami Heat, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, and Milwaukee Bucks. 

What is unique about Dave the folks over at Courtex is that they take a more athlete centered approach  and more integrated approach to mental training rather than just a cookie cutter one size fits all approach.They understand that an athlete develops mental skill in the context of their sport, not just in a clinic.

This episode is my most unique to date, as Dave reads me the results of the Reiss Motivation profile, which I hear for the 1st time as we record.  We also get a bit into Dave's background and some of what he does in his day to day at Courtex. 

The Reiss motivation profile discovered fundamental motives for athletes…more precise than a personality test 

From MJ to Kobe, the best athletes understand themselves  and their motivational superpowers 

My hope is that this episode will help coaches can better understand their athletes and better serve them 

I'll also be including the recorded video on Youtube, which I will link in the show notes!
