An Athlete’s Mindset for Lawyers

Jess Sargus, former litigator and founder of The Legal Athlete, discusses the intersection of elite athletic performance and trial law. She shares how applying the performance, resilience, and wellness strategies she learned as a professional mixed martial artist and coach can help trial lawyers manage stress and avoid burnout. Sargus also introduces the concept of “glimmers” — small moments of joy that rewire the brain for positivity.
