As an athlete, I was made well aware of the benefits of being physically flexible. But no one ever told me that there was something called emotional and mental flexibility…and that it’s a BIG key to unlocking your ultimate best.

 

On today’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with top sports psychologist and performance expert, Dr. Adam Wright. We unpack how he’s been helping world-class athletes, Hollywood celebrities, and high-powered executives become more emotionally and mentally fit.

 

In this latest episode, Dr. Adam and I talk about… 

 

  • One of the main reasons why highly talented people underachieve
  • Dr. Adam’s take on pressure and how we can overcome it
  • How to become more emotionally and psychologically flexible

 

…and so much more.

 

If you want the emotional and mental flexibility to be your ultimate best, then lock in to today’s episode.
