Ep 140 : developing mental toughness in business, life and sport - dr jason  selk

What is it about Successful People that Allows them to be so Good for so Long? 

As the Director of Mental Training for the St Louis Cardinals, Dr. Jason Selk helped the team win two World Series wins in a six year period. Dr. Selk is a regular contributor to Forbes, INC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBC and has been featured in USA Today, CNBC, and Men’s Health. As a best selling author Dr. Selk is considered to be one of the premier performance coaches in the United States.

Dr. Selk utilizes his in-depth knowledge and experience of working with the world’s finest athletes, coaches and business leaders to help individuals and organizations outperform their competition.

In this extraordinary interview we dig into the true secrets behind mental toughness, resilience and GRIT.

Here’s what we we cover with Jason:

  • When people ask Jason what he does, what does he say?
  • In his Freshman year he chose mental therapy over physical therapy, why?
  • How do I know I am mentally tough?
  • How do we reshape our mental thinking in performance?
  • How do we break the cycle of negative thinking?
  • Why are we programmed to problem centric thoughts? We focus on what we think is going to go wrong.
  • What are the exercises we can take to the mental gym to make us more mentally resilient?
  • Can I combine mental and physical workouts in one session?
  • Why don't people make the change? Do we understand we are in control of our thoughts?
  • What's channel capacity?
  • Does the brain have an absolute capacity like a laptop?
  • What’s the first hour of Jason's day look like as a person who is a master of mental toughness?
  • Arguably the greatest coach of all time, Coach John Wooden had a ritual for the first training session of the season... what's the lesson?
  • Wooden ran efficient practice sessions, what can you take from that and how do we apply that to our own world?
  • Why does Jason carry little or no stress... what's his mental process to deal with stress?
  • We explain false confidence. 
  • How do we nail your process goals?
  • Legendary football coach Bear Bryant played only positive video back to players, why?
  • Mental toughness vs resilience or grit, where do they fit together? 
  • What is it about successful people that allows them to be so good for so long? (obsession for improvement)
  • The 2 questions Jason asks each night….What did I do well today and what is the one thing I want to improve?
  • Journalling (success log).

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
