How do you earn people's trust so that they can be open with you and open with themselves around you? I just have an ability to make friends. One of those reasons i can build connections is i first ut's talk about the population i work with. A lot of professional athletes, that's where it goes. They're incredibly competent at what they do but their b s radar is very high. So instead of doing focus on a one session, 30 minute long intensity session, it's focusing on consistency over intensity. It sounds like you're really getting them to reflect upon themselves. You have to be open, and you have to be honest with you and themselves in your company.

Justin Su'a calls on more than a decade of working with the world’s top athletes to discuss how to improve your mental performance. Su’a explores the strategies you need to be your best mentally with lessons that resonate well beyond the world of sports — including how to connect and build trust, the relationship between consistency and intensity, the fragility of confidence, the difference between success and talent, how to raise the bar of your own performance, and so much more.

Su'a has spent the past three years as the Head of Mental Performance for the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball, where he works with players to optimize their mental performance and perform under enormous pressure. He has also worked for the Boston Red Sox as well as the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, and as the Head of Mental Conditioning Department for the IMG Academy, which develops star athletes of the future. He’s also written two books on the subject of developing mental toughness in adolescents.
