Controlling Your Mind and Performing Under Pressure

This is a re-broadcast of an interview I did back when lockdown first kicked off, with the host of the Life Livers Academy podcast, Jamie O'Donnell.I'll be switching roles with Jamie, and interviewing him as a guest, in the follow up episode.Shaun is a former military sniper who served in the Australian Defence Force. He has served multiple deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan and is one of just 68 Australian veterans to be awarded the Commendation for Gallantry which is a military decoration awarded to personnel of the Australian Defence Force, recognising acts of extreme bravery on the battlefield.Shaun is now the head strength and conditioning coach at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket and has trained a long list of professional athletes including many former and current UFC stars.We talk about mindset, performing under pressure, what it takes to become a world-class athlete, and we dive into the many lessons Shaun learned through his time in the military and also growing up through some extreme adversity.If you want to improve your performance, up your mental game, or just get a friendly kick in the pants, this episode is for you!
