In the high-pressure world of elite sport, the unwavering support of loved ones can be both a powerful boost and a perilous distraction.In this episode of The Game Inside The Games, Nastia Liukin and Dr. Michael Gervais explore the significant impact that family and friends can have on an athlete’s performance at The Games. They discuss how the presence of loved ones, while a vital source of encouragement, can also become a significant distraction that impacts focus and performance.For athletes, The Games represent the pinnacle of their careers—a moment that requires complete mental and emotional focus. However, for family and friends, they are often seen as a celebration, which can unintentionally pull the athlete's attention away from their performance. Nastia shares her unique perspective as a gold medalist, including how her father, who was also her coach, helped her navigate these distractions.They also address modern challenges, such as the impact of social media, which has introduced new distractions that previous generations of athletes didn't face.In this episode, you’ll get an inside look at the emotional management required at the highest level of competition, where the difference between winning and losing often comes down to the ability to stay focused despite the myriad of distractions. Through personal stories and expert insights, the conversation uncovers valuable lessons not just for athletes, but for anyone striving to achieve high performance in high-pressure situations.With Fire,The FM TeamThis episode is brought to you by PwC and Microsoft.PwC and Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 together provide a powerful, multifaceted strategy tailored to the evolving AI landscape, enhancing business operations, communication, and problem-solving.

her endless "...mhmmm...mhmmm" was super annoying. sounded like a mediocre carbon copy of the Meyers Briggs and all these other stupid personal tests.
Great episode! I’d love to hear an episode with Dr Valter Longo on this topic. He’s one of the world’s leading experts on longevity and a pioneer in fasting. 🙂
What an asshole. Michael dealt with his guest's arrogance well but what an actual prick
lmao talks about needing someone else for confidence then says she thrives under pressure. somewhat contradictory but ok.
Mhm, mhm x10
lmao let go of your color privilege (for white people of course) then why can't people of color "just let it go" in terms of these people parroting victimhood mentality...? pathetic.
an attitude of gratitude
anxiety....the roots are likely embedded in social media!!
love julie such a strong intelligent woman.
Robert Greene!!! Gervais's Podcast is amazing! So much value!
I'm a person who also 'suffers' from hitting my head too many times, TBI and all the darkness that comes with it. Hearing what he has to say about being in a dark place and not knowing if or when your brain will reconnect really resonated with me. I needed to hear this now. I've been listening to hours of podcasts daily, mostly from Finding Mastery and Rich Roll, trying to build a stronger mind and a more courage to face my situation and feel my emotions versus bottling them like I've been doing since learning this mechanism in childhood from seeing how my parents handle adversity and emotions. Not ideal in my situation. Hearing Pat talk about his mindset, how he feels emotions but let's them pass through and how this is done with the positive and the negative is something I needed to hear. Pain and resentment is something that is not easy to let go of when your mindset is to keep pushing and to do more. Brain injuries and repetitive head trauma that takes your personality from you for
Alex is a genuine warrior & reflect the true spirit of the climbing community. An excellent episode - thank you. 🙏
Terrible. Such biggotry unchallenged.
What an intense, inspiring and unexpected story! I listen to your Finding Mastery podcast quite often while riding the light rail commuter train to work in San Jose. This story and Brenda touched me deeply. I even had tears in my eyes at one point. A lump in my throat the rest of the time. I wish I could get my 20 year old daughter to listen to this story as I believe she would benefit from it.
Michael, as you know I love your podcast. but this one has been the best. you guys were very engaged, you let it flow, I cried, laughed, and took notes!!! how does that happen on one single podcast? bottle what you did here and repeat!!!!
