This evening I had a great conversation with one of the world’s leading mental performance coaches, Graham Bethart.

Graham has worked with some of the NBA’s best athletes including Aaron Gordon, Ben Simmons, Karl Anthony Towns, and Andrew Wiggins (to name a few) He has also worked with professional organizations such as True Ventures, Silicon Valley Bank, and the Utah Jazz.

In this episode, we talk about his journey into mental performance coaching and how he ended up working with professionals and some of the top athletes across the USA.

Graham’s work is all about helping athletes play in the present moment and firmly believes that if you can play in the moment and focus on the task at hand, you will ultimately play at your best.

We talk about how important it is for athletes to practice mental performance skills but how a lot of these skills don’t come naturally and take time and hard work to master.

Graham shares with us some mental skills and actions that you can implement and practice in your game to help you bring you back to the present moment and play at your best.

I really enjoyed this episode with Graham and I have no doubt I will be having him back on the show in the near future.
