Emotional Resilience and Mastery in High-Pressure Sports

Peter Carlisle is a veteran sports agent who has guided Olympic champions like Michael Phelps and Simone Biles.

This conversation explores the hidden mental health crisis behind Olympic gold and the existential threat facing elite athletes when their careers end. We discuss the Weight of Gold documentary, why 90% of Olympians struggle post-competition, and how youth sports have become a destructive machine.

He also shares how he almost passed on signing the greatest swimmer of all time.

Peter is a truth-teller about what greatness costs. This one hits different. Enjoy!
