Dr. Adam Wright | Become More Emotionally and Psychologically Flexible

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.
