293. Elite Athletes — The Mental Edge: How Champions Overcome The Impossible [Encore Edition]

In the world of elite sports, the mental edge often separates the great from the greatest. 

While we may see professional athletes as superhuman, their trials and triumphs echo the everyday battles faced by attorneys — whether in the office, the courtroom, or at home.

On this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill delves into the minds of four world-class athletes who embody the pinnacle of commitment and resilience.

In these compelling conversations, you’ll discover:

• Strategies for planning, preparing, and executing on seemingly insurmountable goals

• The sacrifices required to achieve extraordinary success
