Lessons from Legends: Stories of Performance with Dr. Duncan Simpson and Dr. Greg Young


Listen Later

From gold medals to career crashes, the icons have done it all. How can tapping into their experiences accelerate your journey? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Duncan Simpson and Dr. Greg Young from the Performers Podcast, a show that brilliantly mashes up sport autobiographies with performance psychology to pull out actionable insights that are as inspiring as they are instructive.

We unpack the lessons they’ve learned from the likes of Kobe Bryant to Mark Messier, and explore five key themes that have emerged from their study of the greats: resilience, goal setting, self-belief, the power of relationships, and the never-ending journey of learning. This isn’t just about sport heroes; it’s about translating their journeys into skills that can help us all to excel.

Learn how these stories can reshape our approach to challenges and redefine what it means to train for peak performance. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or just a lover of great stories and psychology, this episode has something for you.
