“If you expect to learn life lessons from perfect people, you're not going to learn anything from anybody. It's our own judgement that prevents us from having amazing experiences."

Jeff has spent the last four decades helping athletes win over 40 Olympic gold medals, as well as coaching Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods, and helping our own Natalie Cook OAM OLY to represent Australia at 5 Olympic Games.

When he was 11 years old, Jeff wrote a contract with himself that a decade later he would make the 1972 USA Olympic Games team, a goal he achieved by competing in two separate cycling events.

He has also authored three books, been awarded International Sports Chiropractor of the Year, and is the creator of The Champion’s Blueprint methodology.

He is also an award-winning Glass Blower with his art appearing in some of the world's top galleries.

These days, Jeff is a mentor to athletes, businesses and other high profile clients, including the likes of Sir Richard Branson, the band U2, Nike, Hitachi, and the health brand Bulletproof.

In this episode we talk about:

✅ Why winning is a skillset underpinned by you starting in a place of receivership

✅ Taking charge of our automatic fear-based survival reactions

✅ The difference that makes the difference with clients like Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Natalie Cook OAM OLY

✅ Internal personal congruence towards a champion’s mindset on the day.
