Compete Every Day with Jake Thompson | Performance Mindset for Athletes and Leaders

The Two Games Everyone Plays - Which One Are You Choosing?


Listen Later

Performance coach Jake Thompson shares the story of his failed 400-pound squat attempt and reveals the fundamental choice everyone makes daily: playing to win or playing not to lose.

Using research from Princeton and real examples from Sara Blakely's Spanx pitch, Jake shows how your mindset literally determines your performance ceiling.

  • The Daily Choice: Every moment you're either playing to win or playing not to lose
  • Princeton Research: Challenge mindset (90% success) vs. threat mindset (72% success) on identical tasks
  • The Mindset Shift: From avoiding failure to pursuing greatness changes everything
  • Sara Blakely's Boldness: How taking the buyer to the bathroom built a billion-dollar brand
  • Internal Competition: The real game is you vs. your potential, not you vs. others
