Great High Performance Tips Overall in this article — I encourage you to put 1 tip into practice for 2 weeks and then do some self-reflection — “do I feel noticeably more calm under pressure now?” — I’d also add that building a practice of making peace with uncertainty goes a long way to creating calm regardless of your internal stress state.   I invite you to “Book at Session” if you’d like to learn more about building your own High Performance Practice to experience a calm that attracts success even in the midst of chaos.

I grumbled a little when the Seahawks won the Superbowl, I thought, ” it should have been the 49ers”.   I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.       BUT, I’ve changed my tune this week after I attended the Wisdom 2.0 talk by Michael Gervais, the Seahawks Team Psychologist/High Performance Coach.   He explained that the Seahawks practice of Mindfulness, Visualization of Potential, Presence, Affirmations, Intentions and rapid failure recovery contributed strongly to the circumstances for the Seahawks to accept the top prize in the NFL.   They don’t talk about winning, they practice, execute and detach from the outcome.  Wow!    Below the grandeur of the win was a quiet knowingness we all have access to and is critical to develop for any truly High Performance Practice. Their win makes PERFECT sense to me now, I’ve let go of the grumbles.

Hey 49ers….better luck….or shall I say “better wisdom”  next year…feel free to book a Session with me via the tab above, I’d love to help :-)

Check out the Wisdom 2.0 conference live stream recordings (while you still can) to see Michael’s talk titled “Sports, Performance and Mindfulness” and the other remarkable speakers like Eckart Tolle, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Alanis Morisett, Tony Hsieh/Zappos, Meng Tan/Google, Congressman Tim Ryan/Mindful Nation and many others to gain new wisdom at  http://wisdom2conference.com/livestream

Check out this manifesto from Susan Cains best selling book from 2013, “Quiet, The Power of the Introvert”. Consider sharing this with your favorite introvert or use it for those times you need to get in touch with your “inner introvert” Introverts Manifesto.  High Performers understand their strengths and aren’t afraid to use them in powerful ways.
