40. Extracting Human Brilliance with Mike Metcalf Jr.

On this episode of Beyond The Limit I'm talking with Mike Metcalf Jr. Mike is a Charlotte native and former football student athlete where he graduated with honors from Appalachian State University. He soon found himself immersed in the world of motorsports as a member of a NASCAR pit crew back in 2006. The beginning of his journey to master the art of competing on pit road. Six years later, Mike found himself as a coach helping other athletes maximize their craft. And now 16 years later, as a full time pit crew athlete, Mike is presently the co-head pit crew coach at Trackhouse Racing with his friend Shaun Peet and together they are the directors of culture and community engagement within the race team. They're also the co-founders of Deck Leadership, where they apply the hard won principles learned over a decade of building and coaching NASCAR pit crews to inspire teams by discovering opportunities for diversity, efficiency, culture, and kindness. In this conversation we talked about Mike’s journey, the hardships, the lessons learned, and what leadership means in the world of high performance and how to manage your emotions when the stakes are high.
