The Olympian In You: maximizing performance under pressure - feat. Noa Kageyama

from Wavemaker Conversations · host Michael Schulder

When American figure skating phenom and gold medal favorite Ilia Malinin imploded on the ice at this Winter Olympics, I wanted to discover what we could all learn — and possibly apply to our own lives — from that heartbreaking failure. So I called Noa Kageyama — a veteran performance psychologist on the faculty of the Juilliard School and Cleveland Institute of Music. Why reach out to someone who works with musicians for insights on athletic performance? Because, as you’ll learn in this conversation, the mental training needed to maximize your performance on any stage, or field, or class, or boardroom, have certain things in common — techniques that we can all benefit from when we’re aiming to do our best when it matters most.For more fascinating insights from Noa Kageyama head over to https://bulletproofmusician.com
