Why You Should Listen?
Today, nearly every professional sport incorporates mental training. The U.S. Olympic Committee now has five full-time sports psychologists, and many more athletes meet with independent specialists.
One of the best in the business, Dr. Michael Gervais, is claimed to be a secret weapon to professional athletes and sports organizations. Dr. Gervais combines state-of-the-art brain mapping techniques with an approach grounded in high-performance psychology. The result is a completely individualized performance plan that allows each person to train by fully engaging both their mind and brain toward that personal best.
Coach Pete Carroll entrusted him to help him develop a successful culture with the Seattle Seahawks. Over that period, they have created a vibrant environment that produced back to back Super Bowls and Super Bowl 48 Champions.
He recognizes that, like athletes, all of us are required to perform daily. We all navigate our own high-stakes environments and can benefit just as much with the right training. Ultimately, Dr. Gervais’ goal is to create amazing journeys for clients while exploring their boundaries of human potential.
In this Podcast, Dr. Gervais discusses how the Seattle Seahawks have been able to develop a successful culture without talking about winning. You will find out how coach Pete Carroll was able to not let a heart wrenching Super Bowl 49 destroy the culture they worked hard to build. You will learn techniques that he uses to help athletes succeed under pressure and to bounce back quickly after mistakes. There is so much great information throughout his interview. Our hope is this podcast will help coaches, parents and players to develop the proper mindset to be at your best each and every day!

Remember: “Let’s Make The World Better Through Sports”
Dr. Gervais always delivers powerful insights on the mental side of elite performance. What stands out most is his emphasis on empowering athletes to become champions not just physically, but psychologically — that’s where the real edge is.
For athletes, coaches, or anyone interested in the discipline of mindset and the art of performing under pressure, I’ve been exploring some complementary ideas about focus, resilience, and creative expression at
It’s a small but growing collection of thoughts on how we train the mind to rise to big moments.

can I ask you a question please?
The part about helping athletes break through the fear of not being loved based on performance really stood out to me. So many people — not just athletes — struggle with that. The distinction between developing character vs. being “a character” is also gold. just the false sun recommends this episode for any coach, parent, or player.https://the-false-sun.com
