BIGGERPOCKETS
About this episode

Tom Brady is the GOAT (greatest of all time). But that makes his performance coach, Greg Harden, the GCOAT (greatest coach of all time). Greg has been coaching elite athletes like Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, and Desmond Howard, as well as top executives at some of the most well-known companies in the world. He knows what makes someone successful and, more importantly, what does not.

But you’re probably thinking, “What do I have in common with Tom Brady?” Ask yourself a few questions. Do you want a better life? Do you want to win? Do you want to enjoy the time you’re not working? What could life be like without fearing the future? All of these questions are answered by Greg today, and they’re the same questions he’s been answering for decades to help top athletes reach their peak.

In today’s show, Greg explains why giving 100%, 100% of the time is the ONLY option for success, how consistency beats skill, why you’re not changing (even though you want to), and how to turn your fear into an eternal fire that will make your life better than it’s ever been before.

In This Episode We Cover:

The mental secrets that only elite athletes know about

How to let go and why your past baggage is self-sabotaging your life

Controlling the controllables and how to stop letting life push you around 

The real way to relax and why only the best of the best know how to turn off

Why fear is more predictable than you think and how to turn anxiety and ego into fuel for your fire 

And So Much More!
